I. Joe Mussachia, Chairman of the Lexington Energy Conservation Committee,
reviewed some of the changes in the state open meeting law. Important
aspects of the changes include 1) timely posting of meeting notices and
inclusion of a detailed agenda with the meeting notice, 2) easy availability of
meeting minutes.
II. Pat Goddard informed the Committee that the Green Communities Grant
Funds which were originally intended to be used for entering into a Purchase
Power Agreement for Solar PV have been redirected to installation of
Induction Lighting in Lexington.
III. Pat Goddard also mentioned that Lexington has applied for funds to the Green
Repair Program of the Massachusetts School Building Authority to carry out
repairs/renovations in the Bridge and Bowman elementary schools and in the
Lexington High School. The Green Repair Program requires that these
repairs/renovations of roofs, windows and/or boilers be carried out to increase
energy efficiency and sustainability. The Bridge and Bowman renovation
projects are already in the design phase and Pat requested a special ECC
meeting to review the various design options and the total lifecycle cost
analysis of these options.
Respectfully submitted,
Prabir Maulik
