October meeting minutes accepted 

TOWN HALL 

Janitor
JK - David said that Ray the new temp. janitor may have some time on his
hands to do a little extra work in the town hall. Can the committee
think of any jobs for Ray?
Potential punch list:
Storm windows down
Winserts in
Build a secured area for broad band equipment 
Window drip cap replacement (Janice will contact David to see where we
are on this)

Window sash replacement
JC is having trouble with the contractor moving this along. JC will
contact David about this.

Generator
DM stated that there is some interest in getting a large generator for
the town hall. The select board will be sending out a survey to the town
to see what the townspeople need during a power outage.

WARWICK SCHOOL

Generator
SK said there are many issues with the generator. Rolland Weld and Steve
Kurkoski worked on the generator this past Sunday. They will continue to
work on it and keep the committee and David informed.

Energy Improvements
JT summarized what has gone on in the past concerning the energy audit.
The question is how does Warwick reap the benefits of doing the major
energy upgrades identified in the audit (e.g., insulating the roof at
the time of re-roofing) when the district controls the operating costs.
PVRS had formed an ad-hoc committee to discuss Warwick doing energy
improvements at WCS. Their findings were sent via e-mail to Jim, and the
e-mail announced that they would be presenting their findings that week
to the full school committee. There was not enough time for our
committee to post and hold a mtg. to discuss their conclusions.
There doesn't seem to be much acceptance among their committee for this idea. 

JK will contact Clare Chang from Gill and find out how their agreement
with their school district works. JT noted that PVRSD and
Gill/MontagueSD share the same legal counsel.

JC said that we have spent a lot of time and effort on this and we
should put all the information regarding this issue in a document that
can be referenced later.


School Liaison
DD has not heard from Tom Zanitti about this position. Dan will talk
with Tom again about this issue.

MISCELLANEOUS

JK said we should keep in touch with the committee who is planning to
build the new safety building for the Police and Fire Depts.

Meeting adjourned; 6:51
