The proposal has the specific endorsement of Selectboard members John Langhus and Mary Layton, as they wrote the memorandum. Selectboard member Roger Arnold has spoken generally in favor of the project at past Selectboard meetings. It seems likely that voters will see the measure on the ballot at Town Meeting in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having just read the memorandum, my head is spinning with questions. I will start with two: <strong>1. Why the rush to put this on the ballot? 2. Why is this a no-bid contract? <\/strong>I will provide some thoughts on those issues in a subsequent blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The improvements recommended by the Working Group are set forth in the below excerpt from the memorandum. EEI refers to Energy Efficient Investments, located in Merrimack, NH. That firm was retained by the Town to conduct an energy audit of three buildings. EEI would also receive the over $2 million contract to perform the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/norwichobserver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Opera-Snapshot_2020-01-06_152602_norwich.vt_.us_-1024x722.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/norwichobserver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Opera-Snapshot_2020-01-06_152602_norwich.vt_.us_-1024x722.png 1024w, https:\/\/norwichobserver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Opera-Snapshot_2020-01-06_152602_norwich.vt_.us_-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/norwichobserver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Opera-Snapshot_2020-01-06_152602_norwich.vt_.us_-768x541.png 768w, https:\/\/norwichobserver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Opera-Snapshot_2020-01-06_152602_norwich.vt_.us_.png 1097w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please consider subscribing to my blog.
