Dan Dibble (DD), 

Highway Equipment Garage/Salt Shed
JK reports that Scott Nichols from Four Season Spray Foam quoted $4k+ to
strap over the exterior walls so metal can be installed. 
JK spoke with Bill Lyman. He estimates about $4k for metal siding and
labor. 
JK shared with the committee information about the greenhouse gas effect
of closed cell spray foam, pre formed Urethane foam, and XPS foam. The
blowing agents used in manufacturing or spraying these products will
offset any energy savings for many years.
EPS foam, poly-isocyanurate foam, mineral wool, fiberglass cellulose
have much lower environmental impact. Cellulose is the best of all.
The open-cell foam proposed for the interior north wall is ok.
JC stated that in consideration of the above information it does not
sound like using closed cell spray foam is a good choice.  
It was decided to use 6" EPS sheet foam (R21) for the exterior,
strapping, covered with metal.
DD walked us through how it would be possible to add a small roof onto
the top of the concrete fin angles thereby protecting the new
insulation.
JK stated that David Young said it is possible to hire a consultant.
DD offered to ask Jaylin if she can help with bid language.
SK asked if any of the systems deal with ants entering the insulation.
JC asked if the detail at the top of the fins should be drawn to explain
what we intend to do. JC and SK will measure the top fin detail. JC will
then draw it up.   

PVRS/Warwick School
Gail Healy will contact JK with information about when the next
Buildings and Grounds committee meeting will be. She said the JCI Energy
Co. has looked at all the schools. She sais she gave them our conyacy
info, but we have heard nothing about this.

Ideas for a replacement for Jim Toth
SK reports that Pam Kimball is too busy at this time to be on the
committee. 
DD wrote an invitation stating that we are looking for a new member for
our committee. This notice will be put in the newsletter and the Warwick
List Serve.  

Town Hall
JC reports that Don Hayward is looking for four more windows to repair.
JC will check with David to see if there is money for this work.
