IV. PREVIOUS MINUTES
Chairman Nelson stated that in the previous minutes, EDM’s invoice was discussed and an explanation was requested for the additional time.

Selectman Menard would like to have it taken care of before winter. Chairman Nelson asked about splitting the heat off between the Annex and the old portion of the
building. Mr. Thurz offered to call Mr. Pilch and discuss that along with lowering the temperature of the loop of heat to the old portion of the building. Chairman Nelson will total the estimate from Mr. Pilch to the estimate for the roof/masonry repairs, storm window installation, etc. and give a grand total to Selectman Menard.

NEW BUSINESS
First Selectman Menard discussed the ordinance creating the permanent Building Committee and mentioned some of the deadlines for duties of the Building Committee, including but not limited to checking on the condition of all town buildings and creating a 5-year plan for CIP. This could be accomplished by having each department give a report to the Building Committee with the major repairs that are needed in their department. The Town Engineer or Building Inspector can investigate any questionable repairs. A study was completed years ago on the condition of all eleven (11) of the town buildings. A memo from the Building Committee will go to each building’s department head asking about the condition of the building and any recommended major repairs. These memos will be sent to the First
Selectman for distribution to the various departments.
