Summary
With the recent vote advancing the new fire station, the Select Board created a Town Hall Building Reuse Subcommittee and directed the town administrator to draft a charge and membership for board approval on Feb. 24.
The Lakeville Select Board voted to create a Town Hall Building Reuse Subcommittee to explore options for the existing Town Hall building after the town’s approved fire station project moves forward.
Board members said they want a formal committee to examine all reuse options — from converting living quarters to offices to partial demolition and reconfiguration — and to return a draft charge and committee makeup for the board to vote on at a future meeting. The town administrator said he will prepare a draft charge by the Feb. 24 meeting using elements from reuse committees the town has used in the past, including the library reuse subcommittee.
The board approved a motion to create the subcommittee and agreed the town administrator will assemble sample charges from nine or 10 other municipalities to inform a draft. The chair asked that a draft be ready for the Feb. 24 meeting or, at the latest, the March meeting. No membership list was adopted at the Feb. 10 meeting; the decision on makeup will be returned to the board for a formal vote.
