TOWN HALL
Hot Water - The sink fixtures are being changed out in the bathrooms to
allow more flow thereby activating the new on demand heater and better
performance. The 30 gallon tank is reported to not be adequate for the
kitchen. Steve and Dan will look at this problem soon. We recommend that
the hot water pipes be insulated to help with this problem.
Basement insulation - The electricians that drilled through one of the
foam blocks in the basement band joists reported that there is moisture
behind the block. A bore scope would allow us to look in behind the
blocks. Jim will make arrangements to borrow a scope.
Storm Window replacement - Jack will schedule for spring
Window restoration - needs to be revisited in the near future - can
start anytime.


WARWICK COMMUNITY  SCHOOL

Air Sealing - Nate the janitor said that Bill Lyman closed up some of
the holes in the ceiling and the equipment corridor upstairs.
We talked about how we could find some of the other areas that need to
be sealed. Les will ask David to have Bill Lyman look a little closer
for air leaks in the thermal envelope, based on his memory of the
sprinkler work. Nate might know where there are other area of bypass
that need attention. Dan said he could give Bill a hand on this.
Jack will go to the school and take pictures of the icicles. 
IKO shingles is not going to warranty the roof shingles at the school. 
If the report that will be prepared by Keith Abbott is in an easily
readable format we could put it in the town newsletter.
There was some discussion about long term plans if the enrollment
continues to go down.
Data Loggers - The temperature logging information at the school has
been gathered a report generated and passed around to the committee
members.

WARWICK CENTER SCHOOL
The electric account shows that there is about $1,000 worth of
electricity still being used each year, mostly in the winter. Janice
spoke with Gunnar who said that a heater is being used to keep the water
pipes that supply the safety buildings from freezing. Gunnar said he
hopes to have the building torn down before next winter.
