Minutes, February 4, 2009
Location: Warwick Town Hall
Meeting called to order 6:35
Attending: Janice Kurkoski, Steve Kurkoski, Les Goodman, Jim Toth, Dan
Dibble, Jack Cadwell
Minutes moved, seconded and passed for December.

Dan requested a Winsert workshop at the chapel. No date was set.
Janice will ask Brian Nugent of the North Quabbin Energy group if he is
willing to help.
Dan said maybe Michael Humphries can supply wood, then Dan (& others)
can pre-make frames.

Siemens ESCO Audit:

The Fire, Library, Highway departments have been asked to review the
results of the Siemens preliminary audit. At this time Nancy stated the
library is not interested in the investment grade audit.

After reviewing the preliminary audit, the WBEC is recommending that the
selectboard does not move forward with an investment grade audit for the
Fire, Library, Highway, Police, and Town Hall buildings.

The WBEC is recommending that we do move forward with the investment
grade audit for the Warwick Community School. Jim will call Roland
Butzke at Siemens for investment grade audit paper-work for the school.
Jim will go to selectman and present paperwork.

It was decided by the committee to focus on the preliminary audit and
table discussion concerning WBEC recommendations to department heads.
However one item did come up that should be noted and dealt with in a
future meeting: The WBEC needs to draft a letter to the Highway Dept.
recommending that they have a professional look at balancing the duct
work flow and/or downsizing the nozzle on the furnace.

Community Gardens:
	
Janice noted that the Mt Grace Land Trust has a grant to help towns form
steering committees to look into forming community gardens. Dan said he
could look into getting one going in the field behind the chapel if
there is enough interest from the people in the center of town, but he
did not see the need for getting the Land Trust folks involved. Other
private or public fields in town, near clusters of housing such as
Moores' pond area, might also benefit from a garden, but it is not the
focus of this committee to spearhead this effort.
