Becky's calendar for quarterly facilities walk-thru

Each department has received the most recent spreadsheet with information about their building's energy usage.  Due to the cold last month, only Parks had any reductions in Therms.

Action: Tom and Becky will meet to decide on a format for walk-thrus.  IT will start with finding out what each dept./bldg. is doing and then move on to any seasonal tightening up or preparations they will be taking on or like help on.

City Hall window weatherproofing

Work progresses well and all departments in the building have appreciated the work.  Rick and Tex have also suggested some simple energy retrofits that they noticed could be done when they have other periods of free time. (i.e. adding dampers to heating vents in library, mastic caulk on all accessible heating and cooling ducts, motion sensor on basement light, outdoor window trim that is rotting, adding insulated ceiling to cupola skylights to reduce both winter heat loss and summer heat gain)

HELP's new structure

The new structure suggested looks to lighten the meeting load for committee members as the work load within the departments increases.  Both the intensity of the grant writing that is required at this time and the process of each department developing their 15% carbon reduction plans and data collection systems will require more time than member's work in the past.  For these reasons, meetings will take place once a month to share department information and to provide an information assist for departments as they work towards their reduction goals.  The next meeting is set for Oct. 13, 11-12am
