Chair McKee said some of the concern stemmed from the addition of sites that the Town was not expecting, and once this was clarified to the Town, these concerns were alleviated. He said the Town would be clearly communicated with moving forward. Commissioner Price clarified that the Town put forth this site as a possible option and said she liked this property. Commissioner Jacobs asked Bonnie Hammersley if the property would be given free of charge. Bonnie Hammersley responded that those discussions would be taking place with the Town Manager. Commissioner Rich asked if the plan is to build a freestanding library, or if there is a possibility for a multi-story, multi-purpose building. She said the property is a prime location and using it to its fullest extent seems wise. Commissioner Pelissier said she has had conversations with some elected officials from the Town who seem pleased with this new process. She said the Town is willing to allow a 5-deck height for 50 percent of the building, which is a great option. Commissioner Burroughs clarified that moving forward would allow for a freestanding library and a possible collaboration with other entities. Bonnie Hammersley said this site is set up for this type of flexibility, but the Board would ultimately need to decide this issue. Chair McKee said he met with all the Mayors this past week, and he has asked to meet with Mayor Lavelle about upcoming items for their joint meeting in October. He said this might be a good topic for discussion. 9. County Manager's Report NONE 10.
