HISTORY, HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND ARCHIVES COMMITTEE MEETING February 11, 2008 Attending: Dianne O’Neal, Aldo Dusman, Claudia Tuebl, Ruth Hammer, Joan Buser, Louise Kalin, Ray Tousey, George Davis Stephen Hammer came to test/look at the piano in the Community House. Stephen is of the opinion that it should be looked into further. Professor Fred Hammond has agreed to come and see if the piano could be tuned, and what the cost might be. A time will be coordinated. Items discussed: · What is the future use of the buildings? There was some input, but no decisions were made. Needs much more time and thought · General maintenance of buildings. It was suggested that perhaps the Town could budget for annual maintenance. Or perhaps one of the three highway employees could do some general maintenance. The Town Board would have to be approached to see if this is feasible. Ruth and Louise have agreed to begin to generate a list of obvious repairs as well as restoration repairs. · Aldo and Ray have agreed to venture into the attic of the Community House to inventory its contents. · Everyone concurred that a general clean up of the inside of the Community House was necessary. Claudia and Joan will arrange a time and will begin to clean out the kitchen. · Questions arose as to whether or not the fireplace worked which led to questions about building codes. Dianne is going to try to get answers. · There was a discussion regarding the use of the display cases. No conclusion was reached. Next meeting – Monday, March 10th, 2008 @ 7:00pm in the Community House.
