Councilperson Kenyon updated the Board on the scoreboard replacement for the Macedon Elementary School. The Recreation Committee recommended repairing the current scoreboard and installing a guard to protect it.
Councilperson Collins gave a presentation on the proposed Town Hall/Library Facility. The Board proposes to construct two (2) facilities, a Town Hall and a new Library. The plan is to build two (2) structures that are fairly similar. In doing that we can save money in services and efforts that go on the site. This is all conceptual. Right now we are on a fact-finding mission. We have an architect and interior designer on board. Northlake Studios, the interior designer, met with Bill Hammond and Scott Allen to talk about the lay out. Councilperson Collins met with the Library Board last Thursday night. There was a unanimous vote for the new building. He met with the long range planning board, architect and interior designer Tuesday night to find out how the Library operates, their needs and wants. The goal is to have two (2) very similar buildings to save money and not duplicate services. The buildings would be set at a V and tie the sidewalk from the Elementary School into the Town’s. The sidewalk will run along the entire frontage. There could possibly be a memorial with park benches. A walkway will run between the two (2) buildings and perhaps a flag system. The grades are fairly flat. The Board has agreed to donate land to the School to loop their driveway. The parking lot would be expanded and the hill will be graded back a little. The structures would be split face block on the lower level and we are looking at brick. There will be no structural walls inside the building. They will be slab on grade. There will be no basement due to the cost. There is considerable space for a vault. The buildings are actually designed in an H. The wall could be kicked out and gain 800 square feet for storage at a minimal cost. There will be storage space in the attic. The barn will be coming down. There is a possibility to expand in the future. There will be a sprinkler system. Councilperson Maul stated that the Board was previously informed that the town could not build a new structure for what we could buy one for. Councilperson Collins informed the residents that these buildings were based on bids that were received this spring. There were four (4) bids that were received within $10,000 of each other. There were a total of 17 bidders. If things fall into place the buildings could be up by the end of the year. A large portion of the money would be insurance money. We are about $500,000 short with the money that we have. We would be looking for help. The Library will approach the Rochester Foundation. We need a Town Hall and we need a Library. We are taking the insurance money and distributing it between the two (2) buildings. The worst case scenario is that if we don’t have enough money to this scope then we bond it. This should accommodate us for 50-75 years. We want something to be proud of. We are also looking into grant money. We could build what we had with the insurance money but we are looking to the future.
