Otis Library building committee advances "Option 1" and asks designer to continue work

The Otis Library Building Committee voted Nov. 5 to advance "Option 1" of two site designs presented by TSKP, authorizing the organization to continue developing the chosen design. The meeting took place at 6 p.m. in the Meeting Room at Otis Library.

Committee member Sue Brofman called the meeting to order. The attendance list recorded Sue Brofman, Stephanie Skinner, Stacey, Steve Barry, Tom Burke and Katelyn Chaffee as present; the minutes note that other members of the public attended. The committee approved the minutes from Oct. 9, and the trustees likewise approved their Oct. 9 minutes (mover/second and vote tallies were not specified in the transcript).

TSKP reviewed two site-placement options and presented outdoor renderings the parties have been developing since the Oct. 9 meeting. Committee members asked clarifying questions and gave feedback focused on site placement and parking. After the presentation, the building committee and the trustees voted to adopt Option 1, which the minutes state "will allow TSKP to move forward and develop the design." The transcript and minutes record the approval but do not list who moved or seconded the motion or the vote tally.

Katelyn Chaffee, listed in the minutes as Secretary, filed the record and noted that the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 5:30 p.m. The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
