B. East Windsor Town Hall Annex Storage/Offices
Selectman Menard discussed the progress with sorting and organizing the Human Services rooms. The VNA space may be combined with the library space in the Annex. One room will be cleared for files and record storage. Pigeons have gotten into the room and created a mess. Serve-Pro was suggested by the committee as a company to do the clean up. The VNA currently meets once per month for approximately two hours. It was suggested that they check out alternative meeting locations. The East Windsor Library and Park Hill were suggested as possible locations. The heating system needs to be checked before offices can be made out of the Registrar’s Office and the VNA office. Split units can be installed for heat/ac that would be more efficient than repairing the current
system.

NEW BUSINESS
A. Various Town Building Repairs
Selectman Menard and Town Engineer Len Norton met with Mr. John Duffy from Duffy Glass. Mr. Duffy submitted a quote for 4 windows and all the doors for the Town Hall that was within the $50,000 budget for those items. Chairman Nelson is in the process of bidding town services such as plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, etc. The town buildings need preventive maintenance services after the warranties have expired. Chairman Nelson distributed materials regarding ADA doors for the town buildings. Selectman Menard discussed the $130,000 funds leftover from the small cities block grant that must be used before the town may apply for other state grants. ADA requirements will be able to use some of these funds. A public hearing will be necessary to convert these funds over to use for the ADA
projects. Selectman Menard distributed a list of building repairs for the town buildings. The Municipal Facilities Study will be looked at during the October Building Committee meeting. Chairman Nelson discussed the due date for the annual report from the Building Committee to the Selectman’s Office. Selectman Nelson explained that a representative from the Building Committee would be a good choice for the Capital Improvement Planning Committee. Mr. Pellegrini agreed to be on the Capital Improvement Planning Committee.
