Old Business:

1. Electrical Installation: Dave McKinnon with 4 Security in Rutland who was hired by our contracted electrician to re-install the fire alarm system has started work.  The electrician, Craig Petersen has not returned to the project and indicated he probably won’t. J-5 Electric-Mike Juris submitted an estimate for installing the subpanel and electrical in the walls which he could start in about a week and a half. He can work by the hour at $100 an hour and the job would take approximately two days. Estimated labor $1,600 and about the same for materials. Ceiling lighting is estimated to take two weeks. Members discussed reaching out to other master electricians for more estimates and availability. Herb will check with Fire Safety Inspector to see if Craig pulled a permit and if so, how to close it out.
2. Heat & Duct Decisions:  Member reviewed costs for two heat options:  adding two propane heaters & eliminating furnace and need for duct work and new oil tank VS maintaining current furnace, installing limited duct work and new smaller fiberglass oil tank. Glenn moved to approve the second option. Jeremy seconded. All in favor.

 
Next Steps:

1. Jeremy received a quote from woodworker Steve Fuchs to build a new custom front door out of mahogany not to exceed $3,500. Discussion on staining vs painting. Jeremy moved to accept the bid, Glenn seconded. All in favor. Funds for this project would be deducted from Town Hall Reserve Fund. Mike to coordinate with CV Oil on installation of duct work and gas hookups for stove and insta-hot water heater. Herb will call Charlie at CV Oil with go ahead for new tank.
