Doria Brown, Energy Manager
Yes | am here. | wanted to speak as the Energy Manager in support of this project. It is going to be very
important to get this done in a timely manner to compliment the window project that the Police Department just
did. From doing the analysis for the windows for the Police Department, they don’t have nearly as much
savings as they should in energy because they still have that antiquated system. So as soon as we get this
project done the better. Also we were able to get access to some Eversource Relief fund for this project which
should help to pay back the bond or it will go back to this project or something.
Mayor Donchess
Alright and, of course, Doria will carefully document the savings which occur after the completion of the project.
Anyone else, though, wish to speak on this. Alderwoman Klee.
Alderman Klee
Thank you so much. | truly appreciate the comments from Doria. | think that does lead us to the fact that if we
just do the windows we are only doing half the project and it is important to make sure that we get full
advantage of monies that Eversource is offering or whatever other organization, whether it be grants or
something to that nature. We need to take advantage of it because eventually this is going to have to be done
anyway. So it’s better to do it now, reap the cost benefits of the energy savings and just on a whole green
issue, | think it is so important. So thank you so much.
Mayor Donchess
