Members of the Selectboard will be present Monday night as the Building Committee meets to discuss options for renovation and enlargement of the Municipal Building.

The meeting, postponed from Wednesday night, will begin at 7, in the town office section of the Municipal Building.

The committee is working on a recommendation to the Selectboard, which then would devise an article for residents to vote on during town meeting in May.

Dana Lindsey, chairman of the Building Committee, said Thursday he’s not sure if the committee will have a recommendation by Monday night.

“We’re going to talk about what’s transpired at this point and then we’re going to talk about how we might move forward,” he said, “but I don’t know how far we’re going to get on that.”

The Building Committee is dealing with a differing set of opinions. In a written survey 0f more than 320 people completed last November, two-thirds supported one of two renovation plans while 29 percent opposed either plan and 5 percent were unsure. Last month, however, many residents spoke out against both proposals.

Space is cramped in the town office area of the building, and there is a community need for a large meeting space, town officials say. Both plans call for an additional bay to the adjoining fire station.

Plan A, at a cost of $850,000, would provide for a meeting space adequate for 50 to 75 people.

Plan B would accommodate 200 to 250 people for gatherings such as the annual town meeting, elections and community events, for $1 million.
