Town Property & Energy Assessment Committee

The Town Property & Energy Assessment Committee was created in 2019 to identify building and maintenance projects, prioritize projects based on need, and list projects that may qualify for Green Communities funding and determine payback time and anticipate prospect of funding of all municipal buildings.  Their opening meeting was November 13, 2019.

Committee members are: Arthur Pichette, David Blakesley, Chris Brooks, and Barbara Cook. 

At the end of 2019 and into 2020 the committee conducted visits of each municiapl building. They
determined, and made recommendation to the Selectboard, that replacement of the Town Hall slate roof be designated as a top priority project.  Additionally, the roofs on the backside of both the Town Hall and Annex should be replaced.  The roof project will not qualify for Green Communities Funding.  The
committee recieved preliminary estimates and from those the Selectboard proposed FY21 funding of $90,000.00 for the replacement of the roofs at the Town Hall and Annex.  The Finance Committee
recommended the same at Annual Town meeting on June 27.  Town meeting approved the funding by a transfer from Free Cash.    

The committee also made recommendation to fund refinishing of the floor of the Town Hall.  The Selectboard supported the project, however, held off on funding until the roof was replaced. 

The committee completed its work and disbanded in 2021.
