Minutes of Nov 13 accepted.

Town Hall
Town Hall 30 gallon hot water heater is not adequate for large meals.
The committee consensus is to re-install the old 80 gallon heater in
line with the 30 gallon heater so that it can be turned on when a heavy
use is anticipated.

Winserts/ workshops
JC presented drawings for the Library winserts. Revisions were made to
some drawings. Discussion followed of funding of materials and the
process of building the prototype frame. JC will develop a cutting list,
send it to DD who will contact Michael Humphries to ask for a cost
estimate for milling the stock and if he can prime the stock.

Green Communities
JK described the "Green Communities" recognition ceremony in Boston. She
and David Young attended. Discussion followed of the timeline for
submitting grant applications, prioritizing projects and who would be
responsible for various aspects.  Firm figures for the projects needed
for the application by Jan 14 (or later). Using Guardian Energy as a
pre-approved project expeditor was discussed in regards to several
projects.
JK will call Jim Barry, western region coordinator for DOER, to clarify
funding parameters and timelines.
The committee's consensus was that we need to meet with David Young to
work out processes and responsibilities for the gathering of project
cost estimates. He will be asked to meet with the committee Dec 22 or
23.
A discussion ensued around placement of the new "Green Communities" road
signs. JC mentioned the need for more awareness of what the signs
signify, which led to an idea to have a public event to celebrate and
advertise what this means for our town, perhaps with Jim Barry as
invited guest. It could be held in conjunction with the St Patrick's Day
celebration/music/dinner/dance, as a play on the already "Green" theme
of that day. Perhaps "green drinks" could be served via special permit
by this committee.

Meeting adjourned at 9:10 PM
