The presentation slides as shown during the Town Council meeting on Wed Feb, 1 2012
I have already seen several of the design photos (and have shared them here) so the part of the presentation that really caught my interest were slides 6 and 7 where the Jim Jordan described the design features of the Ray Memorial Library building and then showed how they incorporated them into the new building.
The dollars and important facts around the project begin with slide 10 and clcse with the tax rate details on slide 13.

Wadsworth Diary - Feb 2, 1858
Very Pleasant & Warm, some clowdy in afternoon. Went to Mrs. Frosts after the clothes. Split & got in some wood. Took care of the bees, we thought were dead. They got quite lively. Put up 10 bushl of my potatoes (Davis seedlings) for Clary & c & c. Went to Lycium in eve. Haid full house. Question was, Resolved that the power of Eloquence is grater than the power of Wealth. Decided in the Negative.
In the 1850s, on a busy working farm in the southern part of Franklin, a man named George Wadsworth started writing in a journal about everyday events. When he filled that journal, he bought another, and filled that up too. Two dozen journals, and 27 years later, he had written about almost everything that can happen in a small New England town. His words were lost to history until 1986, when town resident Gail Lembo came across some of the journals at a yard sale.

Note: The vote to continue was close but positive for continuing: 13 for, 10 against. The diary skips Feb 1892 and picks up again in April. What I have done to keep with the February period is go back to one of the earlier years in the diary, 1858.

Town Council Chair Bob Vallee missed the meeting but sent in a letter to the editor to the paper which was read during the meeting by acting Chair Tina Powderly
"nothing less than historic"
"Now is the right time," Finance Committee Chairman James Roche said. "Now the costs are lower and the payback doesn't start until four years down."
Officials last night contended that because the models have been thoroughly vetted by state and independent contractors and are meant to be complete plans, the chance of additional costs, above the town contribution of $47 million, is negligible.
"The way I look at it is, if I was going to re-do my house and I only had to pay for 40 percent of it, and someone else was going to pay for 60, I don't think there are too many people in here who wouldn't take that," Town Councilor Robert Dellorco said.
