Board to track exterior repairs with running maintenance list; town funds repairs under $500 need no preapproval

Town contact David Lester informed the Board of several exterior maintenance needs at the library: shutters requiring repair, an exterior door and an unfinished wall needing paint, potential shingle damage on the gazebo from a fallen branch, and a recurring leaning of the fence near the gazebo. Trustees discussed previous temporary fixes to the fence and the need for a qualified inspection for anchoring recommendations.

The Board decided to create a running maintenance list with completion dates and fold it into the calendar/Director's report instead of maintaining a standing monthly agenda item. The minutes state town funds exterior repairs but the library will organize the work; repairs estimated under roughly $500 were identified as not requiring town preapproval. Board members named Brian Pratt and Jared as potential town contractor contacts for follow‑up.
