Joint session of Building and Energy Committee:
What does each committee do?
Building Committee has been very active (as has the Energy Committee).
Building Committee has almost fulfilled town hall improvements to the
tune of approximately $250 K. Stone
basement exterior still needs to be pointed and new, efficient interior light
fixtures added. Town Hall cell tower
is generation approx. $16k/yr. in revenue to the town. The town garage needs
energy efficiency improvements.
Town Garage: Has decent
steel according to Jay with only two compromised I-beams. Exterior skin is in
rough shape, which could be replaced with spry foam and skin panels, which would
be expensive. Should radiant heat be installed in the floor? Bottom bay door
panels are rotten – full replacement would cost approx. $20 K.
There’s also electric, drainage and heating issues.
Jay will work with Bill Lohsen on cost estimates for insulation and
building envelope issues.
Street Lighting: This
project has been deferred till summer. Ralph will ask Alicia (WFD) to poll their
members on the necessity of maintaining specific street lights. CVPS is very
close to completing their tariff on street lighting. Should we put this issue in
the town energy plan? This is really a fire district issue.
Town Energy Plan: Ken and
Doug each submitted draft sections for the town plan on “Hydro” and
“Biomass” respectively and asked for suggestions/comments.
Next meeting – March 8.
Doug Blodgett, Secretary
