"Officials from the town's facilities department fielded concerns from the Town Council about the maintenance of town buildings at a recent meeting.
Department members came to the last week's council meeting to give a presentation about the work they do, including information on the recent move of the library to a temporary location.
Council members, though, said they wanted additional information about needed repairs to town buildings and the length of time it takes to complete them.
"One of the things the council has asked for in the past is a report that tells us how many work orders... are out there, and how long they take to complete," said Councilor Thomas Mercer."
