The full committee was present. <br />Members Present: Mark Sandeen, Chair <br />Rick Abrams, Ken Moraff, Todd Rhodes <br />Guests: George Burnell <br />Paul Chernick <br />The meeting was called to order at 7:05 pm. <br />Minutes from 1/3/11 meeting were approved as amended <br />Mr. Moraff reviewed the list of actions from the last meeting and assigned the following <br />responsibilities: <br />1. Assess proposed stormwater regulations: T. Rhodes <br />2. Contact other towns and UNH regarding implementation of stormwater <br />management technologies: K. Moraff will create a list and delegate tasks. <br />3. Talk with Planning Board: K. Moraff and T. Rhodes <br />Mr. Sandeen discussed efforts to begin communicating Committee activities with the <br />community. Specifically, he presented a draft of an article addressing the trend toward <br />increased frequency of high- intensity rainstorms. <br />• G. Burnell recommended that any published articles should focus on being <br />informative. <br />Options for publishing the article are The Minuteman and The Colonial Times. <br />The Minuteman is a weekly, but is more expensive, article length is limited, and <br />the editorial staff choose the headline. while The Colonial Times is only <br />published monthly, that can be a benefit since it often stays in the home longer. In <br />addition, The Colonial Times is distributed to every home, while The Minuteman <br />is sold by subscription. <br />Any article that is published should then be posted on to the SLC website. <br />Mr. Sandeen reported on his meeting Paul Eldrenkamp, of Byggmeister. Mr. Eldrenkamp <br />said that he would be happy to appear in videos energy efficient building approaches. <br />Other builders could be recruited to support energy efficient building and sign a pledge to <br />implement energy efficient solutions. <br />• G. Burnell recommended that the SLC ensure that it maintains ownership rights to <br />any videos that are produced. He suggested that we discuss this opportunity with <br />Peter Kelly and /or Jonathon Himmel to address any concerns related to the <br />perception of recommending builders and the control of videos. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
