GREEN COMMUNITIES GRANT
Police station
1) JK asked to sign off on weatherization work done at the police
station. She feels either the Chief or David Young as Town Coordinator
should be the signing official.
2) Original insulation under the floor of the police station appears to
be mostly intact and at least R-19. Decided to recommend no further
insul. work be done there.
3) Some vinyl siding was removed to allow cellulose to be blown into
sidewalls. Expected R-value to be 30 on average.
4) Cellulose was added to the ceilings to R-60. JK & SK found "cold"
spots with the infrared camera and these would be addressed by Energia.
A blower door test will be done to determine of additional venting is
needed
5) JK said prices should be adjusted to reflect changes in work done
before signing off.
6) Tech school students are in process of installing heat pump.
Highway dept.
1) Air sealing is mostly completed. Some door gasketing still remains to
be done.
2) Todd Weed (from Tech School) and Larry Delany (LD) (Highway supt.)
have talked about Tech school students replacing security lighting.
3) Kevin Smith (KS) (insul rep.) & LD have discussed installation of
insul. panels. KS will advise DPW workers on correct installation and
can be contacted for further help if needed during the process.
 	Library
1) Work has begun. Questions raised about the methods used to remove
clapboards. The committee went to inspect the work (with flashlights in
the dark) Old section walls were completed and looked reasonably well
done with cut clapboards reinstalled with caulk top and bottom. New
clapboards were splitting and decided to have DD & SK finish the job of
removing claps on the east, south and entry area walls.
Town Hall
1) Some discussion of proceeding with or postponing the clapboard
removal. DD & SK will assess the process on the Library and make
recommendation later.
2) Moving some items away from the walls in the basement will be needed
to facilitate insulating. JK & MH will address this issue.
OTHER BUSINESS
SK & JK will lead a homeowner's workshop on using the new infrared
camera to find areas in home insulation that need attention.
