delayed but we are beginning because we have a time crunch tonight in the air is only one item on the agenda which is the smart proposal discussion and vote so we're going to call up chris roy and becca kean and i guess whoever else wants to come  james come on up you're part of the team so if you want to just punch the button or just push on the microphones to turn them on so just to set this up for the public more able to explain this really quickly and very quickly is going to fire james booth a member of the energy committee we're here to talk about today is an application for the two thousand and nine hundred heat smart massachusetts p put out by the massachusetts clean energy center basically it's a program to promote the adoption of clean heating and cooling technologies and in our case specifically will be applying for air source heat pumps so it's a program very similar to application and i don't know the reason why we're meeting on usually on a thursday night with one item on the agenda has got to do with the when you find out about the program and the deadline by which the application is to be in which is prior to our next regular slickness meeting so in order to participate we had to have the special meeting which was properly posted exactly i guess i would say an advantage of this is that allows us access to these marketing funds for massey c as well as their their technical expertise they provided technical consultant so it would prevent  a team together for selecting the installer which would be myself marty bittner close backer and and bacca as well as with input from the technical consultant that they would provide  that we go through that process to select the installer beyond that to the same task very much of the town other than things like account proper accounting for the five thousand dollars of marketing things for being reimbursed and so on th there's a they're only choosing with six communities so in some of the communities are joined together to apply as one can one application so whether we get chosen or not who knows but we if we do get chosen then what is the what's a worst case scenario  puts forward fortunately we've had program a place for heat pumps so and so is a relatively light lifts it just makes some small just so worst case scenario essentially as we have budgeted for the entire program eighty thousand dollars in the energy programming budget which was basically already there because there is an existing budget so while we hope you know the hope as many people is it's come the conservative side based on historical figures of the program that's already in place and this is one of the things we talked about it's not turned of to the free light bulbs when we talk about taking the free light bulb money we used to develop i used to give out free light bulbs take that money and put it toward something more impact debuting new incentives that haven't been in the budget for a while ok so it's existing centers in the existing program with existing staff correct really what we're hopefully getting here is five thousand dollars from the state to help promote this right to do we're ready we're going to be adjourning the board is like and what are going to be going to the town traffic advisory committee which is going to be starting shortly over a star at seven o'clock right over at the town hall auditorium if you're interested you could come one down to discuss that in the
