Town of Reading - Meeting Minutes <br />Electric Car Charging Station. The committee discussed the possibility of getting <br />an electric car charging station on Vine Street near the railroad station and our <br />Adopt -an- Island site. Gina stated that the parking spaces there are owned by the <br />Town and are rarely full. Laurie Ann agreed to ask Tirzah Shakespeare at RMLD to <br />look into grants available to the Town for this purpose. She will also research how <br />payment works with Chargepoint stations. <br />Earth Day. Laurie Ann reported that the date we had tentatively chosen for our <br />Earth Day event, April 11, will not work because the RMLD cafeteria is already <br />booked for another purpose. The Committee discussed alternative dates and agreed <br />to hold the event on Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. Laurie Ann brought <br />up a potential problem with the parking situation. Gina volunteered to contact the <br />owner of the warehouse next to the RMLD parking lot to notify him of our Earth Day <br />plans and request his cooperation. <br />Laurie Ann requested that committee members send names of potential vendors to <br />her. We will have room to accommodate twelve display tables. At the next <br />committee meeting, we will discuss and assign members to contact these vendors <br />about participating. <br />Energy Efficiency financing. Gina was not able to re- connect with her contact at <br />Reading Council on Aging to discuss ideas on how to set up a program, and who <br />would be best to handle funding since he said he had ideas on funding the program. <br />• Adopt -an- Island. David stated that we may need to check with Reading Police if <br />we wanted to install a bench at the island. Ron will fill out and submit the Adopt -an- <br />Island sign form. The committee agreed that the sign should read "Sponsored by <br />Reading Climate Advisory Committee ". <br />Page i 2 <br />2013 -09 -03 <br />
