News for Holiday shopping.
The

related materials have been placed on display.

celebrate Christmas in Grafton.
Old
Business: The library is asking the town for a $1000 increase in tax
support.
All
appeal letters have been mailed and thank you notes are up to date.
New Business:
Building
and Grounds: Jay has compiled a list of contractors in the area to call
for bids for the porch repair. Two contractors have looked under the porch
and have not seen any rot. However, there are questions about the
structural integrity of the supports. Depending on the reports from the
contractors who are bidding on the job, we may be discussing the need for a
structural engineer in the future. Jay will meet with Mary Beth to
finalize the bid guidelines.
Next
meeting will be on January 27 at 6:00 pm.
