DRAFT of PROPOSED TESTIMONY AT PUBLIC HEARING of SEDATE BILL 1841 Sheldon Gilbert stated that he had received comments from several individuals for changes to the draft, and had made the appropriate revisions. Sheldon will send out the latest revised copy to the committee. REVIEW of POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR LOCATION of TEMPORARY LIBRARY—Sheldon Gilbert. Sheldon reviewed again the options for temporary library locations. Option 1. Use the green space across from the library to install temporary buildings for which we have a cost estimate of$40,000 to$50,000 for three buildings, which would serge as a temporary location. Option 2. if coincidentally Mashpee Commons has available space based on tenants vacating, they may be able to free up the space for a temporary library. Option 3. Ma hpee School system, with declining enrollment, may be able to free up 4000 square feet of space. One standard of preference would be to have the temporary library ars close to the existing library as possible. However, the least cost might be the use of the public school facility. No decisions are necessary at this point in time. We have $100,000 in our budget for the temporary library mover and It could be anywhere from zero to$50,000 in cost, so we have a potential savings as far as this particular activity is concerned..
