Discussion Selectboard members began around 7:25 and concluded by 8 pm.
Our main concern is getting the library building to good use. We don’t want to get into a
commercial lease situation rather some board or town related commission. We'd hope
Recreation Department was moving, that fell through a few years ago. Have reached out to
Historical Commission in as much as the whole building is pretty much available vs half of it
in past discussions.
Pine Grove use — full range of items could go there from solar field to housing for elderly or
even reclaiming to past use as orchards; none of which is truly viable. Continued use as
parking for the park and simply for quiet enjoyment — it’s currently frequented by families
for walks and picnics. Quick discussion on trees — pines in middle will continue to thrive and
the rest will need to be removed over the next few years as they’re dead. The trees along
Route 40 are to close to the road and are dying from salt use. When Grafton became a “tree
city” we believe that the trees along Prentice St …

Location 6 Prentice Street
Date August 25 2026
Time 6:00 PM
Present: Bridget, Bill & myself
1. Discussion of quote to replace sign on route 140 — Sunshine is on a new computer system
and is having a hard time locating the drawings for old sign to update to new sign. It will be a
lot easier as measurements and materials are with those documents, they’l] keep looking and
hopefully submit a quote.
2. Wayne Pavolis not abie to attend, Bill did speak with him and there is supposed to be a
tree just over stone wall on our property to rear of his house with indications that crown is
dying. No real danger of it falling now, just for future reference. He’s having one or more of
his pines removed by Skyhook Tree. Bill had advised that it’d be fine to simply drop tree
over wall and leave it, as that is what we'd ask the highway department to do in the
alternative. We aren’t going to pay them to do what we can get done by Highway Dept.
He’s supposed to submit photos via Bill.
3. Discussion with Nicole Parker of Friends of Grafton Library about storage of books for
their book sales. She indicated about ten boxes that a single person could carry as far as
space needed. We don’t have issue as long as they understand may need to move out if we
do anything with building. Nicole will be check …
