Board of Library Trustees

Laconia Public Library Board of Trustees Special Meeting of June 27, 2017 MINUTES The Laconia Public Library board of trustees held a special meeting to consider just one cause of action, whether or not to provide consent to a request, to grant a real estate easement to the privately owned, electric distribution utility company, Eversource. Present were John Perley, Kim Danosi, Liz Rosenfield, Glenn Smith and director, Randy Brough. Absent were trustees Olie Anderson and Marie Bradley and alternate trustees Nadine Jordan and Linda Phelps. Chairman John Moriarty called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. The trustees discussed the requested easement, and reviewed the library’s counter-proposal, a draft easement prepared by the law firm of Wescott Law. It was noted that the reference to “exhibit A” was obsolete, and that the plot plan by Stephen J. Smith & Associates, needed to be annotated with the location of the proposed easement, equipment, and all electrical runs. The consensus was that the temporary construction easement should have a termination date approximately sixty (60) days following the earliest mobilization of equipment or materials (currently scheduled for mid-July 2017) and thus ending on or about September 12, 2017. Trustees Danosi moved and Perley seconded a motion to provide consent to the City Manager, who acting as the recognized and duly authorized designee of the City of Laconia, (the owner of the real estate known as the Gale Library), may execute the library’s draft of the easement prepared by Wescott Law on June 27, 2017, or a version of said draft that is in keeping with the spirit of the interests, intentions, and obligations of the public library, upon ascension from the chairman and director, and conditionally upon: 1) That Eversource provide a true and accurate depiction of the proposed easement, amended to the plan by Stephen J. Smith & Associates; 2) That Eversource shall annotate the draft easement with a legal description of the proposed construction, including and limited to, all equipment to be installed and their corresponding locations. The motion passed unanimously by all members present. Trustee Smith posed questions about the year-end budget process and expressed some of his concerns. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, John Moriarty, recording secretary pro tem
