Power play: Weston eligible for
$1-million grant for fuel cell project
Weson FORUM
Written by Kimberly Donnelly
Wednesday, 11 November 2009 16:38
Calling it a “watershed” moment for Weston, Don Gary of the Building
Committee announced at last Thursday’s Board of Selectmen meeting that
it looks like the Weston schools’ fuel cell project would be eligible
for the maximum state grant of $1,000,000.
The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) finalized its initial review
of the pre-application for the fuel cell project, Mr. Gary said.
Weston, in conjunction with United Technologies Corporation (UTC), the
manufacturer of a 400-kW fuel cell, have been invited by CCEF to
proceed with a formal application.
“This is terrific news for the project and for the town,” Mr. Gary said.
UTC has provided the town with a draft of its Energy Services
Agreement, which is being reviewed by Town Attorney Ken Bernhard. UTC
has agreed, in principle, to construct the entire project at its cost
and to lease it back to the town for 15 years.
Mr. Gary said UTC is obligated to service and maintain the fuel cell —
including replacing it if necessary — for the life of the contract.
Fuel cell project
Mr. Gary and the Alternative
Energy Committee came to the town with the fuel cell proposal in
April of this year.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen fuel
with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, heat and hot water.
Since the fuel is converted directly to electricity, a fuel cell can
operate at much higher efficiencies than internal combustion engines,
extracting more electricity from the same amount of fuel.
It is estimated that the 400-kW fuel cell will provide 95% of the
electricity needed for both Weston High School and Weston Middle
School, all of the heat for the pool at the middle school, a
significant amount of the heat and hot water for the middle school, and
all of the air conditioning for the middle school.
It will also eliminate approximately 900 tons of carbon dioxide from
being released per year. A fuel cell operates on natural gas, but
is
considered renewable because it doesn’t burn anything.
When the natural gas gets to the fuel cell, it pulls out the hydrogen
and forces it through a stack. Electrons from the hydrogen move from an
anode to a cathode and create an electrical current. The byproduct from
this process is hot water — which, ideally, could be used in the
schools and to heat the middle school pool.
“This is truly a green alternative,” Mr. Gary said.
Instant savings
It is also guaranteed to reap financial benefits for the town.
Because
this will be a lease arrangement with no capital expenditures by the
town, Mr. Gary said, energy cost savings will start accruing as soon as
installation of the fuel cell is complete.
While it is not yet possible to project the exact total amount of
energy savings, Mr. Gary said conservative estimates range from $1.5
million to $3 million over 15 years.
One question still remaining is the possible cost of an electrical
connection between the middle school and the high school.
Current practice dictates that CL&P may accept electricity to the
grid (and give full credit for it) through only one meter. To
physically connect both schools to one meter is estimated to cost
upwards of $900,000.
However, the town has argued it can combine the two meters by simple
accounting (adding together the amount of electricity used at each
school).
To reach a determination on this issue, First Selectman Woody Bliss and
Mr. Gary met with both engineering officials and the regional director
of CL&P to see if there are electrical or engineering reasons that
the two meters could not be accounted for as one, or “totalized,” which
is the CL&P term.
“Apparently, we did not need to do it for electrical reasons, it was a
regulatory issue only,” Mr. Gary said.
Mr. Bliss and Mr. Gary then met with engineering and executive members
of the Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC), CL&P’s
governing body, and presented Weston’s case. When they told the
DPUC
the town could just totalize the meters rather than physically connect
them, “that was very well received,” Mr. Gary said.
As a result, Weston is requesting a declaratory ruling that using both
meters would be acceptable. Mr. Gary, Mr. Bliss and Town Attorney
Bernhard drafted the letter of request and sent it to the DPUC, which
has indicated that it will expedite its decision and respond to Weston
within 30 to 60 days.
“When the town hears back from the DPUC, we will be able to present
firm numbers as to the exact savings for the town,” Mr. Gary said.
“Thank you for following up so quickly. This is really a tremendous
benefit for the town,” said Selectman Gayle Weinstein, who was sworn in
this week as the new first selectman.

Booster
Barn: Cost estimates are under budget
Weston FORUM
Written by Terry Castellano
Wednesday, 22 July 2009 11:11
The following article has corrected information that was incorrect in
the July 23, 2009 print edition. Corrected information is in bold.
While there are still some “aesthetic” questions, the Booster Barn
project at Weston High School appears to be on track to open at the end
of September.
Peter Figliola, representing the Booster Club, along with First
Selectman Woody Bliss and Building Committee member Don Gary, updated
the school board on the “Weston Stadium Complex Enhancement Project” at
the board’s July 20 meeting.
The board was told the combined cost estimates for completing the
project are about $197,500, well under the $244,190 left in the
bleacher and Booster Barn budget of $513,461.
The town has lent the funds necessary to complete this project to the
Booster Club with the stipulation that revenues realized from the sale
of food and beverages at the concession stand, as well as revenues from
additional sources, will be used to reimburse the town for all money
spent in the building of the barn.
“The [school] board still needs to know what costs the board will incur
in terms of fuel and maintenance,” Ellen Uzenoff, school board
chairman, told Mr. Figliola. Ms. Uzenoff also expressed concern that
the club was proposing a flat-roofed building and asked that Mr.
Figliola research roofing options and return to the board with cost
estimates for roofing that would be more compatible with the school
buildings already in place.
“Aesthetics are key,” Ms. Uzenoff said.
Mr. Figliola reviewed with the board the following:
• The first selectman is now in charge of project oversight.
• The bleachers and press box were installed this past April.
• The Westport-Weston Health District (WWHD) granted the town a waiver
so that five portable toilets could be installed until the Booster Barn
is completed. Lavatory facilities within the high school are considered
by the health district to be too far from the bleachers; therefore, the
building plans will need to include adequate restroom facilities. The
number of toilets is based on the number of bleacher seats and must be
approved by the health district.
• Booster Club representatives have met with the prefabrication
contractor Utility Pre-Cast, the town engineer, and two members of the
building committee to discuss the location of the Booster Barn, the
building, itself, standard configurations, and potential pricing. The
discussion also included drainage system concerns and proximity to
utilities.
• Mr. Figliola, Mr. Gary, and the building inspector reviewed 38
questions from the health district. Globe Equipment, the firm chosen to
supply the kitchen equipment, was instrumental in assisting in the
completion of the health district’s questionnaire.
• Representatives from Globe Equipment also met with Mr. Figliola and
Mr. Gary to discuss the proposed size of the kitchen and equipment
needs based on menu choices.
• Surplus kitchen equipment once used by Weston schools was reviewed
for possible use at the Booster Barn. The Booster Club will accept at
no cost the school district’s surplus “fry-o-lator.”
• On July 17, discussions were held with Utility Pre-Cast to determine
the size of the Booster Barn. On the same day, the location for the
Booster Barn was reviewed and staked out.
Where project is headed
Mr. Figliola expects the project to be completed by Sept. 30 of this
year, and all site work preparation completed prior to the opening of
school.
“The project is moving along and I’m doing everything I can to get it
done,” Mr. Bliss said.
The estimate for the cost of completing the site work is $44,500. Mr.
Figliola is hoping the town and school district’s public works and
maintenance staff may be able to assist with site preparation, thus
lowering estimated costs in this phase of the project.
Most likely, the Booster Barn will need to be larger than the 24-foot x
26-foot prefabricated size originally discussed. The building can still
be prefabricated, but will need to be shipped in sections and assembled
on site. The total cost for the building and its assembly is estimated
to be between $85,000 and $90,000.
The new kitchen equipment is estimated to cost $18,200. Globe Equipment
will design the kitchen for a fee of $1,000, which will be deducted
from the cost of the kitchen equipment if purchased through Globe.
A grease storage tank needs to be purchased and installed at an
approximate cost of $6,000 to $9,000.
The Booster Club has accepted the pro bono services of a Weston
architect to provide design services and architectural drawings.
Mr. Figliola said the next steps in the process of finalizing the
Booster Barn project include:
• Addressing and resolving any further issues involving the health
district.
• Finalizing the architect’s drawings and forwarding them to Utility
Pre-Cast for a formal price quote.
• Reviewing the estimated cost proposal with the selectmen at their
meeting tonight, July 23.
Board member Joe Fitzpatrick asked that Mr. Figliola obtain the WWHD’s
full approval of the project prior to contracting for the purchase of
the building.
If approved by the school district’s facilities committee, the WWHD,
and the selectmen, purchase orders will be issued for the building and
kitchen equipment. Site preparation contractors will be hired with the
expectation that town and school district employees may be able to
assist with site preparation. And, finally, site preparation will
begin, followed by Utility Pre-Cast completing assembly of the Booster
Barn by the end of September.
Even with a 15% contingency account, there is expected to be an
approximate $46,700 budget surplus if all work is completed as proposed.
There are still some areas that need to be addressed, including
security, the building and maintenance of walkways and a stairway,
oversight of organizations’ proper use of the facility, and traffic
safety.
Jerry Belair, superintendent, asked that central office administration
and the school board be apprised of all questions and activities with
regard to this project.
“Please keep us in the loop,” Mr. Belair told Mr. Figliola.
Weston
Booster Barn supporters say: Just build a hot dog
stand, not the Taj Mahal
Weston FORUM
Written by Patricia Gay
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Supporters of the Booster Barn do not understand why the
selectmen are considering building an expensive concession
stand/bathroom facility at the high school athletic fields, when they
presented a much less costly plan a year ago.
At a meeting of the Boosters Club on Monday, President Brian
McMahon asked First Selectman Woody Bliss to take another look at the
club’s original proposal.
“We have a plan for a Booster Barn facility that will cost
around $70,000, and probably even less in light of the economy,” said
Mr. McMahon.
Mr. Bliss agreed to take a second look at the club’s plan. “I
just want to get it built,” the first selectman said.
The discussion between the Boosters and Mr. Bliss came on the
heels of a selectmen’s meeting last week, where Mr. Bliss said he had
recently visited a concession stand/bathroom facility at Pomperaug
Regional High School in Southbury that he thought would be suitable for
Weston, at a cost of around $200,000.
In April 2008, the Boosters submitted a plan for a modular
concession stand/bathroom facility at an estimated cost of $70,000,
less than half the price of the Pomperaug design.
“We need to cut through the nonsense,” Mr. McMahon said. “A
$200,000 hot dog stand is just plain ridiculous. We’re not building the
Taj Mahal.”
He said the Booster board was enraged that the club’s name would
be associated with such a “ridiculous” proposal. The
Boosters and numerous youth sports clubs in town have a vested interest
in the cost of the Booster Barn because they are footing the entire
bill for the facility. They plan to reimburse the
town through donations and proceeds raised from the operation of the
Booster Barn.
The need for a new Booster Barn arose in 2002, when the original
one was demolished to make way for the school construction
project. Volunteers used the Booster Barn at
sporting events to sell hot dogs and sodas as a way to raise money for
athletic programs. Although the school
construction project is complete, it took several years for bleachers
to be installed at the fields and construction of the Booster Barn is
taking even longer.
Mr. McMahon said one reason for the delay was the Board of
Education didn’t like the design of the modular structure and its flat
roof, so it turned the project over to the town’s Building Committee.
Design costs
The Building Committee hired Kaestle-Boos architects to design
the bleachers and Booster Barn. The architect’s bill for the design
came in at $45,000, $17,000 of which was for the bleachers, according
to Mr. Bliss. Mr. McMahon called the design costs
“outrageous.”
“$17,000 to design bleachers? That’s absurd. Bleachers come
prefab, and they start at the 50-yard line. Site work is included in
the price of the bleachers, so I don’t understand that design price,”
he said.
“We paid $17,000, but I refused to pay the other part of the
bill. They [Kaestle-Boos] knocked [the price] down,” Mr. Bliss said.
Because the
sports community is paying for the project, Mr. McMahon said he would
like to make sure the money is well spent. “We don’t want to put
children’s money toward something like this,” he said.
Mr. McMahon
told Mr. Bliss he will re-submit the club’s original plan to the
selectmen for review.
“If you
want to see what type of facility we are talking about, the same
company has built these in Darien, Greenwich and Danbury. The color of
the brick can be made to match the high school, so it will fit in. The
structure sits on a gravel pad so there is no need for additional
drainage. Really, it’s the simplest solution,” Mr. McMahon said.
Mr. Bliss
asked if the modular unit was compliant with health codes. “It is my
understanding these buildings aren’t health compliant,” he said.
“They’re
health compliant and ADA compliant too.” Mr. McMahon said.
Don Gary, a
member of the Building Committee, who was also at Monday’s meeting,
said if the club plans to make hamburgers at the Booster Barn it will
need to install a grease trap.
“Then we
won’t serve hamburgers, or we’ll cook them on a grill outside. Let’s
sort this out with the health district,” Mr. McMahon said.
Booster Club member Peter Figliola was appointed as the club’s
“conduit” to work further with the selectmen on the Booster Barn
matter.

Weston settles Losito lawsuit; Electrician to receive $125,000
Weston FORUM
by PATRICIA GAY
Dec 26, 2007
The town has settled a lawsuit with
an electrical contractor that claimed it was owed money from the
intermediate school building project.
On Monday, Dec. 17, Weston’s Board
of Finance approved paying $125,000 to M.J. Losito Electrical
Contractors of Bethel to settle a lawsuit the contractor filed against
the town in May. The selectmen approved the settlement in November.
The finance board’s approval to
allocate the funds puts an end to Losito’s claims against the town,
said Tom Landry, town administrator.
Losito was the electrical contractor
for the intermediate school building project and provided electrical
service, lights, power, voice and data lines, generator, and lighting
fixtures. The school opened in 2005.
The lawsuit said Losito had a
$1,739,000 lump sum written contract with the town to perform all the
electrical work on the project, but claimed the town owed it an
additional $783,032 because of delays and “change order” work requests
that required the contractor to incur expenses that were not in the
original contract.
“When the claim first came in,
O&G said it was without merit. However, after reviewing the claim,
we saw there was some merit. So at the end of the day, we decided to
settle out,” Mr. Landry said. O&G Industries was the construction
manager for the project.
Mr. Landry said most of the claims
from the intermediate school project have been settled and paid, but
there remains one contractor who has threatened to bring a lawsuit but
has not yet done so; and there is a wrongful termination case pending
in Hartford by Harold Mindell, whom the town fired in 2004 as the
owner’s representative on the project.
Mr. Landry also said most of the
written contracts the town made with contractors in the intermediate
school project contained arbitration clauses, so if the contracts were
disputed they would be settled by an arbitration panel and not in court.
However, the Losito contract did not
contain such an arbitration clause. There were at least “a few” other
contracts from the project that did not have that clause, Mr. Landry
said.
KAESTLE-BOOS: DRAFT version discussed at December 12, 2007

rehab plan for municipal buildings
By JEREMY
SOULLIERE, Hour Staff Writer
July 2, 2007
WESTON — In the coming weeks, the condition of Weston's
municipal and
school facilities will be closely examined to map out a future
rehabilitation plan for the buildings.
The town will be contracting the architectural firm, Kaestle
Boos
Associates of New Britain, to evaluate the bulk of its facilities, Town
Administrator Tom Landry said, with the arrangement close to being
finalized. Kaestle Boos will be assessing a dozen town-owned buildings,
he said, including all the schools, Town Hall, the Weston Public
Library, and the transfer station buildings.
The Board of Finance approved an appropriation of $117,000 for
the
assessment earlier this month, Landry said, approximately $110,000 of
which will be allocated to Kaestle Boos. The remaining funds are set
aside for the contractors running the town's two water pump stations
and the wastewater treatment plant, he said, who will be conducting
their own evaluations at those facilities. Town employees will also be
assessing some of the town's smaller facilities, he said, including the
dog pound and the salt shed.
The idea for a sweeping assessment of town facilities stemmed
from the
schools' request to replace a portion of the high school roof this
year, Landry said, a $1.6 million project that was approved at a
special town meeting this past March. The roof was in critical
condition, he said, and had not been on the town's capital budget radar.
Town officials wanted to avoid such a surprise in the future, he
said,
and the building assessment was a way to do that.
"It became apparent that we needed to identify all these
town-wide
needs in a systematic way," said Landry, who noted the town had not
been in the habit of compiling its long term facility needs in the
past. "We're really trying to get out of being reactive in planning our
building needs. We want to be proactive."
The three month study, which is expected to begin sometime
before the
end of July, will take an inventory of each facility, he said,
examining roofs, doors, windows, foundations, plumbing, heating,
cooling and electrical systems, among other items. They'll gauge how
old each structure and system item is, and estimate when they need to
be replaced, Landry said.
When the study's finished, the town will have a "to do list" it
can
work off of for years to come, he said.
"It will help us prioritize what needs to be done first," he
said.
Once the building priorities are identified, Landry said, town
officials will then be left with the task of determining a financial
plan that will help carry out the future renovations. The town could
decide to set aside funds each year for its building needs, he said, or
take out bonds for the construction projects.
"That's going to have to be a community decision," he said,
referring
to the financial strategy the town will take with future renovations.
ARCHITECT FOR STUDY OF TOWN
AND
SCHOOL BUILDINGS SELECTED FOR INSPECTION AND RECORDING OF
CONDITIONS REQUIRING
FUTURE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT; FUNDING REQUEST FOR SPECIAL
APPROPRIATION GRANTED!
STUDY FUNDING
OK'd
The Capital Advisory Committee met at 7:45am Monday
morning June 11 at Town Hall to, apparently, approve the request for as
it turns out, $117,000 for a study of Town/School buildings - the Board
of Finance has included this request on their own agenda of Thursday,
June 14, 2007.
The Building Committee, members of the Capital Advisory
Committee including the Town Administrator, Board of Finance, Board of
Education and staff attended a 5:30pm Wednesday, February 7, 2007
meeting in the Commission Room (prior to the School Building/Building
Committee regular meeting, posted for 8pm but actually was right after
this first session) to interview three (3) firms who were invited to
compete for the consulting job of evaluation of schools and some town
buildings (and if we understand the RFP, perhaps looking at
attendant drainege, fields, etc. facilities as well).
"About Town" was impressed with one of the firms especially (who
presented in detail how this task could be done), but we will wait for
the next Building Committee meeting on February 21, 2007 to post news
of that Committee's decision (which will be forwarded, we presume, to
the Board of Selectmen and then to the Board of Finance).
We think it is a fine idea to do such a study so that Town and School
buildings can be maintained properly in a way that will make sure we
don't end up bailing our way out of drainage overflows and potentially
creating indoor air quality problems as mold accumulates in wet places.

Weston Town Hall roof; Bids higher
than engineer’s estimate
Weston FORUM
by Kimberly Donnelly
Apr 10, 2008
Bids for replacing the roof at Weston Town Hall have
come in well above
the engineer’s estimate for the work. Two bids were received by
the
town and were opened Monday, April 7. Silktown
Roofing of Manchester entered a base bid of
about $607,000. Barrett Roofing of Danbury’s base bid was about
$917,000.
Tom Landry, town administrator, said the original
estimate for the roof
work was about $502,000. Mr. Landry said there is about $150,000
left
in a capital account in the current year’s budget that is designated
for the roof replacement. That is down from an allocation of $175,000,
because some of it was spent on engineering fees and asbestos testing,
he explained. The rest
of the money will likely come from the
general fund surplus,
Mr. Landry said, which will require Board of Selectmen and Board of
Finance approval, and possibly a special town meeting.
The next step now is to send the bids to the
Building Committee for
review. The Building Committee will decide if it will recommend
awarding a contract or if it will go back out for more bids. At
the Board of Selectmen meeting last Thursday,
April 3, Joe
Fitzpatrick, Building Committee chairman, said three companies had
picked up the bid package. Mr. Fitzpatrick said the job is
relatively
complex because it involves two separate roofing systems and facade and
metal work, and it “must be staged in an occupied building.”
There is also a drainage problem, but the
installation of gutters to
address that is not included in the roofing bids, Mr. Fitzpatrick said.
“We’ll work with the town on that,” he said.
Because the roof is slate, Selectman Gayle Weinstein
was concerned the
building have a sufficient support system in place, and she asked if
structural assessments have been done. Mr. Fitzpatrick said they have,
and the building is sound. Mr.
Fitzpatrick said the plan is to complete the
roof work this summer.

and professional presentation at Special Town Meeting April 10
supporting
3-4-5 school (reasons to vote "no" on April 22 Referendum, in
favor of building the 3-4-5 school);
SOME HISTORY:
- Report
given to
Board of Selectmen
December 5, 2002 by Owner's Rep on status
of school and related work being undertaken.
- First
Selectman
Woody Bliss remarked on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2003 at Kiwanis, School
projects
"on time, on budget" and moving ahead as the community would like it to
do. Former First Selectman Hal Shupack noted at the same meeting
that he was delighted to see the progress and what the project, (begun
under his administration--he did not say this) is becoming.
Everyone
present was impressed by how far the project has come, and how it is
being
managed.
- Weston School Road
Campus Site
Plan approved at October 9, 2002 School Building Committee meeting.
- Check
membership
of the School Building Committee and the Building
Committee (courtesy of the LWV of Weston);
- Referendum
passes,
and the Fletcher-Thompson
scheme approved by voters;
- Prior
to
June
Town Meeting and referendum--this
company, along with construction-managers O&G, picked up where
previous
plans had been left; To view alternatives considered by "Select
Team"
and a summary of framework for planning summer '01 design work - that
did
not take place as originally conceived (i.e. getting better specifics
on
concept designs) - click HERE;
- EVEN
MORE HISTORICAL
DATA: FINAL
OR&L PLAN
and map; unofficial
septic
background;
AND EVEN MORE HISTORY:
- Selectmen OK ED SPECS FOR
State Funding by June 30;
- Board of
Selectmen
(May 4, 2000 meeting) approved extra payment ($19,200) for School
Planner
(OR&L) to draw up education specifications...Ed Specs for four part
Plan. Four buildings and areas around them will be separate
applications.
For example: the new 3-4-5 building and attendent fill, paving,
fields
is one; the high school project plus moving School Road is
two;
the Middle School auditorium and renovations plus loop road is
three;
Hurlbutt renovations and School Road entrance is four. So easy to
explain! (These are my guesses--not confirmed what the four separate
projects
will actually be.)
- MAY 18 and May 25 Dates to
note...On May
18, 2000 at 7:30pm in the Weston Library Fuss&O'Neill presented
their
draft plan for sewers/septic to Town of Weston Boards and
Commissions.
The public was invited...but not to speak.
- On May 25, 2000 at 8pm
in the W.H.S. auditorium, there was be a PUBLIC HEARING on this same
proposal.
On June 1, 2000 (est.) at the Board of Selectmen, a decision was to be
made by that Board, and a recommendation will be made to the Board of
Finance
and then to Town Meeting...
- STOP THE PRESS...May 25 the
800 (est.)
Westonites
present put a stop to the Fuss&O'Neill sewer project option in a
loud
voice (and some great letters later in area newspapers). Thus, in
reading from old commentary on "About Town's" website, it is clear that
a previous Planning and Zoning Commission had strong backing to have
its say in these matters - read about it on this
"Select Committee" link to find out
how an alternative was found; Weston went ahead with this
non-sewer
solution...
Please
remember that this is not the official agenda/notes and if any opinions
are expressed they are those of the author of this website and no one
else's.

WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE, Wednesday, October 4, 2006, 7:30pm,
Commission Room, Town Hall
- This
meeting of significance because O&G fully represented by staff
responsible for high school, intermediate school and major, very
helpful and capable main office management now making it their business
to finish off all outstanding items left on the "punch list."
- Report
on trees for campus, in particular, location of what may be the
"booster barn" - it was recommended to wait on these trees because
their growth could be stunted if construction nearby upset their
expanding root system as they developed (our words).
- 3-5 school - change order OK'd to repair new cafetorium
stage stairs (design did not take into account expanding and
contracting through the changing seasons - condition developing that
would not be good for safety.
- H.S. kilns in place (not being used), but proper venting
still to be done - request from Bd. of Ed. to act PROMPTLY, please.
Meeting adjourned. Then the agenda for the Building
Committee was discussed...
BUILDING COMMITTEE ITEMS
Two roof items and projected before the Committee.
First, the old part of the
high school.
On schedule (HBFishman and his consultant) for making the case that it
would be a hardship to have to meet latest codes on roof design for
schools. The issue is "pitch" of the roof - structural analysis
is close to finished, evaluating what various degrees of slant on the
roof to be replaced would do to already existing and functioning
drainage systems (the greating the degree of pitch to the roof, the
faster rainwater, for example, would run off into drains - and perhaps
overflow the detainage provisions in the existing design???). The
question before the Committee is which alternative (1. as-is
pitch; 2. 1/4" with possibility of some State
funding, 3. 1/8" with no possibility of State rebate) to
recommend to the Selectmen. We hesitate to mention costs/rebate
from State numbers on-line, but this is one of the considerations that
will be part of decision-making--also, the more the pitch increases,
requiring additional modification to the drainage system at the high
school - the more the school program will be impacted (inside work).
Second, the old part of Town
Hall.
No reimbursement issues here. The old, "historic" part of Town Hall
needs a new-old roof (fitting the existing character of Town
Hall/historic district).
NOTE: About Weston
did not attend the meeting of September 20, which we understand was not
too well attended by school distric-related folks (back-to-school
nights).
WESTON SCHOOL BUILDING/BUILDING COMMITTEE, Wednesday,
September 6, 2006, 7:30pm, Commission Room, Town Hall
Nothing new, progress not moving forward to finish the
project; design for old section of high school's roof
progressing. Perhaps some direction coming (of a favorable
nature) from State education department re: design requirements
soon. We did not stay to find out about next meeting date.
