V. New Business- Humidity levels in the building remain high. There are water spots here and there as a result of condensation. Steve Durkee stated this is because the load in the building is not what is typically required when designing a building. He mentioned there are 3 possible options:
a. Hot Gas Bypass-This will be tried first. Steve will put in the first 2 at his cost to see if this works. Would need about 8 of these units. They are not uncommon and reasonably easily installed.
b. Electric Reheat-
c. Hot water reheat
VI. Punch list-
- Warping in raised access floor is a real concern. Downes will place dehumidifiers and come up with a more permanent solution
Paving- A work plan from Colossale was received. They will heat and re-roll problem areas and will also correct binder appearance in certain areas.
Lt. Roche stated a few more things: soap dispenser very difficult to re-fill, there is leaking in one sink, flagpole lights have moisture, some wainscot is buckling, some of the magnets for doorway signs not performing and outside faucet problem.
Lastly, the chief indicated that he would take care of arranging an open house after a few more punch list and larger items are addressed.
