The 2nd meeting of 2020 was opened at 6:30 PM with Trustees Roger Daniels, Lorrie Eaton, and Stacie Winsor at a socially acceptable distance. Also attending was Susan Turbyne, Library Director.

 

Lorrie moved that the minutes from our meeting on February 11th 2020 be approved as presented. The motion was seconded by Stacie and passed. The approved minutes will be forwarded to the town office and placed on the Rumney Trustees blog.

 

A cash flow report for 2020 1st Quarter (January 1 2020 thru March 31 2020) was presented. Lorrie moved that the report be approved. The motion was seconded by Stacie and passed.

 

Lorrie moved that we table the following projects and focus on thoughts on the update of the heating system. The motion was seconded by Stacie and passed.

 

·         Installation of heat in the downstairs room currently serving as the Teen Room

·         Maintenance – Transfer the grounds maintenance to the town of Rumney

·         Mailbox – Replacement

·         Replacement of the apron around the perimeter of the building

·         Closet/Safe area repairs

 

Lorrie Eaton moved that we proceed with formulating a proposal for replacing the furnace. The motion was seconded by Stacie Winsor and passed.

 

·         Susan reported on a discussion with Tom Wallace. An “Energy Audit” was done for the library in the Feasibility phase of the design for our addition. The consultant recommended that the existing steam heating system be replaced with a hot water baseboard system for heating and heat pump units for AC. We need to locate this report.

·         Tom has also contacted NHEC for input and we are waiting to hear back from them. If we do not hear back this week, we will follow up...

·         Roger reported that Carl Doe is also working on a proposal.

·         After we gather some information, we can discuss this further.

 

Our next meeting will be mid-July.

 

Respectfully submitted,
