Minutes of the meeting of  3/31/2010 were approved & accepted

First item was the WCS so that Barbara Walker could go to another
meeting at 7 PM.
Discussion included;
-With Town Meeting approval of funding "for energy consulting at
WCS", what are our next steps?
-	Discussion of process for hiring contractors and what we want from
them. Jack wondered if we could get "free" initial meeting to get a
better feel for their expertise. We want someone who will do an overall
assessment of the building not just insulation, to provide a written
cost analysis of proposed up grades, written "building use & maintenance
manual" for occupant and admin use (suggested Tom Ziniti or Ellen Edson
as building monitor) Janice gave three names of contractors, which Jim
will follow up on.
-	Discussion of whether we go ahead with audit or wait for sprinkler
repairs was inconclusive. Either seemed to be workable.
-	Jim will work on preliminary Scope of Service document
-	Discussion of further outreach to wider school district admin (PVRS
admin, Steve Fields - PVRS maint. Supervisor, Ellen Edson - WCS princ.,
Warwick School Bd members)

The addtl. PV re-bate application needs to be submitted to Commonwealth
Solar soon. Has David Young contacted Chris Kilfoyle of Berkshire PV re:
contract award notice, and will Chris be doing this paperwork? Jim will
follow up.
