Old Business:

Rug discussion: It is a fact the town can cut any warrant articles that were voted on and passed by the public if it is apparent there are not enough funds available to support the funding. The Town has not yet decided whether or not it will be able to fund the carpet warrant article. We will place the carpet plans on hold until we get permission from the Town to act upon the project.

Pat Pustell updated the trustees on the status of the school lunch/book program. Books were well received, and we will discontinue this effort as school closes and the library will be able to open in a limited capacity.

New Business:

A discussion of COVID-19 Pandemic Policy:

A Revised Pandemic Policy was presented and approved.

We will have a curbside procedure, and it will be called “Outside Pick Up”.

Pandemic Policy was replaced and approved. As of June 1, 2020 a revised Pandemic Policy is accepted.

Motion: Terry Wheeler

Second: DorisAnn Allenson

There was a discussion about wearing protective face masks.

The Board of Trustees strongly agrees that wearing protective face masks should be encouraged. No decision made today.

A policy will be considered when the town opens its buildings. A survey will be made and more research will be done.

According to the NHLTA Information, RSA 202-A:6 allows the Board of Trustees the authority to require the wearing of masks. Maria and staff will be researching and considering a policy to be discussed at the next meeting.

Discussion to be considered.
