Public Present:
 
Old Business:

1. Electrical Installation: Members discussed how to proceed on getting new electrical system installed since the contracted electrician Craig Petersen only worked for approximately three hours and did not complete the project. Craig did contact Dave McKinnon with 4 Security in Rutland to reconnect the fire alarm system. Herb will contact him to schedule. It was agreed that only 9 hanging lights would be needed and that electrical needs for heat pumps should be added to the project.   A  number of electrical contractors were suggested and members will contact to see if they can finish the electrical installation. Louis Lubek- Ray; Mike Juris-Ann; Frank Candido-Jeremy.
2. Heat & Insulation Estimates:  Members reviewed costs for insulation: Spray foam materials & Labor-$5,000; rock Wool-material only-$1,650. Members agreed that rock wool might end up costing more because of potential for waste and hiring someone to install. Glenn moved to hire Chad Rogers who bid $5,000 for the project and may able to put project immediately on schedule by working nights. Mike seconded. All in favor.

Mike received two quotes for propane Modine heaters and installation from CV Oil: Modine 75-$2,439.48 and Rinnai-$2,710.58. Members discussed putting two of these heaters in the building, one upstairs and one downstairs. Upstairs would provide backup heat for the new heat pumps and provide main heat for basement. Use of these heaters would eliminate the need for the oil furnace, heating oil and a new oil tank. However, there is a concern that these heaters are noisy and suited more for outdoor garages and barns.  total cost of installing heaters $4,878.96 and $5,421.16.  If members decide to stick with furnace to supply back up heat and main basement heat minimal ductwork will have to be put in place at an estimated cost of $1,000.
 

1. Next Steps: Ray and Mike will drop by CV Oil to determine noise level of their Modine and report back.

 
Next Meeting Date:  TBD
 
There being no further business of the committee, Ray moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:14pm. Herb seconded. All in favor.
