weird uh... morning clothing worn idle
so that's for co building
uh... we have a lot to report on today's serious and we want to get right to the
point
uh...
this building is uh... multipurpose facility
libraries up here
upstairs they have uh...
a multipurpose room which is used for
among other things uh...
seeing your meals
um...
resection and
icm various types of parties here
uh... memorials for people who passed away in the community
uh...
community meetings
what uh... we've discovered all reasonably
is is that the city a mall and
applied for
and nam was awarded a hundred thousand dollar grant
went through on energy efficiency conservation block
program
contract number c_e_o_ and
zero zero one oh five
office of the energy resources so um...
lytle
reading from a letter here
that was
sent to the
sodium on
it has recently come to our attention
at the window sp
replacement installed in the morning club located in eleven seventy four
hundred
imo in idaho
did not meet the specific recommendations we provided in our
letter
of june eight
two thousand ten
uh... what you can see here is is that uh...
city hired a contractor
uh... to install these windows here this is a vinyl window
plastic
thermal insulated
and then next to it you see uh... would sash window on either side
and uh...
unfortunately
this up plastic windows in
is in the type a window that was specified in the grant
planned uh... city was a word or a hundred thousand dollars
let me know
read
a little more from this letter from the state
stacy donahue i don't know
office of energy resources
we see
uh... we do however strongly urged the city to consider the effects on them
historic property
when opportunity arises to do future improvements to the property
the remaining original windows should be repaired
or if beyond repair
should be replaced by windows that it here to the secretary routier standards
for rehabilitation
our office would be happy to provide the city
the assistance they need to insure the integrity
of the historic property
is maintained if you have any
questions or need further assistance please contact me
uh... or chilly day
deputy
s_ h_ p_ o_ and compliance coordinator
this is addressed to the city clerk aboard
their original application
with charm we also have here
states that um...
those city mourners apply for energy efficient
and conservation block grant amount of a hundred thousand dollars
the grant would allow the city to replace nine old an inefficient heaters
and fifty two
non insulated windows
they want to do the work at the morning club and
at sea the mall in city hall fire department
they're part of the rationalization
and justification
for this money
read psalm
if ballin is awarded one of the energy efficiency and conservation grants we
would be able to replace
energy inefficient here's the windows which would allow us to lower heating
cost conserve energy
provides free a toll stimulus to the community by purchasing windows and
yours from local businesses
and it would save the month say the city money doesn't make it impossible to
retain
city employees
uh... we haven't counted up how many windows they actually did replace none
of the windows up europe and replaced
but as you can see uh... these old windows they definitely needed replacing
but they should have done was figured out how many how much fifty two windows
would cost
original
style and everything
fourth by the
historical societies grant
com specifications
and made a decision whether or not they had the money to do that
instead what they did was to stay
use part of their money to replace
some of these windows with the wrong once the final
for a windows
and then
wants the
the people from the store courses i_d_ found out what was happening
everything came to a screeching halt
and so what you have here is some bold with sash windows which
you know there's gaps everywhere
and these new vinyl windows so
on you know it mainly have a new heating system in here
but it's not providing the kind of uh...
conservation
the state was hoping for
where in the city apply for this original graham
the city's be a real particular about the kind information they give us any
more on fact arm
our last request was sent to their attorney we just got a letter stating
that um...
it's going to take a more time
atleast ten days to come to a conclusion about whether they want to release any
more information to us
so
um... we're not sure where to go with this um... right now but uh...
we're going to continue with our research
and
hopefully
find out from the state if nobody else arm
what the next step is here
and it's unfortunate that the city apply for a crowd like this with this
historical building because this may
jeopardize future grants
for other things in town
especially at this administration is in charge of think so
uh...
another undertone internet consequence
worked on this is the kind of stuff that happens when
you know people are dishonest
and to try to take advantage of the system
there you have it
them all and i and this guy
can see the end today but that still beautiful outside
