Charge of the Committee

To establish a Town Council Ad-Hoc Committee to work with Town Staff to make recommendations to the Town Council on the next steps concerning the 1928 building. The Ad-Hoc Committee will make recommendations on the following: 

1. Work with the Farmington High School Building Committee to prepare the following timelines: 
   • When a final decision on the status of the building needs to be made.
   • Based on that decision, a timeline to a referendum or the demolition of the building.
2. Engage stakeholders and conduct a needs assessment on space needs in the Town, including approximate square footage requirements. 
3. Provide a high-level recommendation if the 1928 Building could be used to satisfy those needs. Please note, this is meant to be a broad overview of the Town's space needs and if they can be satisfied by the 1928 Building. A future building committee would be charged with a deeper dive into the specifics, including cost and design. 
4. Public opinion is important to this process. The Ad-Hoc Committee will determine if a public opinion survey is warranted at this stage, or if it would be more appropriate for a future building committee to solicit that input. 
5. Provide any other recommendations the Committee has determined is important based on their findings. 
6. Report back to the Town Council on their findings. 

If the Town Council recommends a renovation, it is anticipated that part 2 of the Ad-Hoc Committee's charge will be to create a statement of needs for a renovation of a public building.
