Mat Sheldon (MS), Jim Toth (JT)

Safety Building
JK reports that Ron Gates said the plans are still with Bob Leet the
engineer. Brian Gale told him he might have the plans back soon. This
committee still wants to have a look at the plans before they get too
far along.

Highway Equipment Garage/Salt Shed
JK refreshed our committee with the options/ quotes we have so far.
Exterior insulation was discussed for the W. E, and S walls. Extending
the drip edge out enough to accommodate the thicker building would be
needed in most cases.  Metal roofing installed vertically on the outside
was discussed. It was mentioned that Tim will be reroofing this building
in the near future. The interface with the pedestrian door, the fuel
delivery pipe and the electrical service needs to be addressed. Tim was
comfortable with interior insulation on the N wall, as long as it
follows the contour if the fins. DD stated that we need to find
contractors who will give us an estimate for labor for installing foam
panels if using, and metal siding. JT suggested asking New Salem what
was the process they used to insulate their fire station. JK will
contact New Salem. MS will get a rough estimate for the labor involved. 


PVRS/Warwick School
JK will find out when the next PVRS Buildings and Grounds Committee
meeting is.

Our committee was asked if the shade replacement at the school is a
capital or maintenance expense. A question came up for us if there were
any shades that do not need to be replaced. The committee is not clear
about the definition of capital expense versus maintenance expense. We
voted unanimously that it appears that replacement shades would be a
maintenance expense.   

Ideas for a replacement for Jim Toth
Try to find a Project related person, ask the selectboard, DD will write
a request for the Newsletter and the L, SK will call Pam Kimball.

Miscellaneous
DD talked with Galen Nelson ( HYPERLINK "mailto:gnelson@masscec.com"

Warwick may be eligible for are Wood pellet burners, Resiliency
Project-disaster resource area, Solar with advanced energy storage/etc.
