Call to Order
Chairman Miller called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm
Town Hall HVAC Study
Jeff Tubman reviewed the study of the Town Hall HVAC feasibility report. He stated
Jillian Douglass has sent a letter on August 7, 2007 to the engineering firm asking for
additional information and clarification.
Ed Swiniarski mentioned that the Town should consider solar panels for the new water
department facility. Mr. Sumner indicated that this was the wrong place to be sharing this
information and Ed Swiniarski really should contact Paul Hicks as soon as possible to
share this information relative to the new facility plans. There is a separate group
managing this project.
Mr. Tubman stated relative to the Town Hall, the Alternative Energy Committee felt that
the geothermal solution will require additional work. They hope to have the updated
report within a month. It appears that both committees will have to work collaboratively
on this project.
The Alternative Energy Committee is also evaluating solar panels on the Golf
Department's cart storage barn.
Council on Agin
Herb Montgomery and Bob Miller went to the HDC meeting on the window replacement
project for the Old Town Hall. The Old Kings Highway Committee issued a certificate of
appropriateness for the project. We also submitted an application to the CPC/Historical
Committee for funding assistance. We are waiting for a meeting date on the grant
application.

Eddy Elementary School
Bob Miller met with Barry Schofield relative to the problematic trim board. The trim is
rotting and needs to be replaced throughout the structures. Currently it is projected to be
undertaken in a phased approach. Bob and Jeff will review the problem. We may want
to undertake the work a little more rapidly in order reduce damage and additional costs.
We also need to review the fasteners on the roof handler units. We have suffered a series
of problems with these units.
Finally there is a problem with the parking lot light poles, where a number of the old units
have failed and need to be replaced. We received an estimate from Reilly Electrical
Contractors, Inc. to replace the old units with either a fiberglass or an aluminum type
pole. Bob and Jeff will continue to work with Barry to evaluate this concept.
We also received a report from MIIA recommending the replacement of the school
bleachers. The Committee will ask Jillian Douglass for additional information on the
nature of the problem with the equipment.
The next meeting will be on September 12, 2007 at 7:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles L. Sumner
