HVAC CONSTRUCTION DISCUSSION
HVAC construction begins today at Town Hall. Michelle Wright is working with the HVAC contractors
to make sure that proper permits are obtained from the village. The contractors are also evaluating
some over grown trees very close to the building that may need to be removed to create space for
new condensers. Mr. Boggs mentioned that the trees are also partially block the solar panels so
removing them seems like the best course of action. Ms. Zahler will keep the board updated.

Ms. Olson moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:49 am. This was seconded by Mr. Goldman and passed
unanimously.
Respectfully Submitted by Sarah Koski,
