ANNOUNCEMENTS

DOER pre energy auditor Tom Bowman of Bowman Engineering looked at all
buildings in town. The only building that stayed in the full audit is
the town hall. The other buildings are at a lower priority for other
considerations, possibly bio mass heating. There are things we can do on
our own in those buildings. The town hall has been audited by Bernie
Jwaszewski of Bowman Engineering. He also pointed out to Janice a few
things that will not be covered by the audit but issues that Warwick
could address to decrease the town hall energy use. He also suspects
that a great deal of heat escapes out the elevator shaft vent, and he
will look into ways to address this. We will give him elevator shaft
vent dimensions.
Also, Mt. Grace was mentioned as a possible wind site.

Warwick may be eligible for help concerning energy issues through the
DOER Green Communities Act.

TOWN HALL

Bid specifications for "air seal and insulate two story town hall wood
framed building" has to be ready by July 1st. The General Bid Deadline
is July 15. Jim will look at the bid specification and alter language to
reflect the issues talked about in our meeting.

David pulled the windows out of the painting bid for the town hall.
David, Dan and Jack have been working on the painting contract. New
storm windows will be easy to put out to bid as they are very specific
items to purchase and install.  Jack has built a spread sheet numbering
all the windows in the town hall.

Jack has taken picture of needed repairs at the town hall and will
generate a list of the items.

Janice has generated a list of items to be addressed at the town hall.
Jack will add to this list. Jack has taken photos of many things that
need repairing, especially on the exterior of the building. These photos
have been e-mailed to the committee.
