The minutes of August 12th <br />meeting were reviewed and approved as amended. <br />• Gas Leak Legislation <br />• David Zeek reported on his efforts to bring the gas leak issue to Selectmen. <br />Barry Berman, our committee liaison, referred this issue to Dan Ensminger, <br />current Chair of Board of Selectmen. So far, Mr. Ensminger has not <br />responded. <br />• The Green Sense article regarding gas leaks issue has gone to newspapers. <br />• There was an article on this topic in Reading Patch. <br />• Gina asked about details on the Fire Dept gas leaks calls. David Z. said that <br />Chief Burns gave him the log which includes detail of when the call happened <br />and where. The FD responds and uses sniffer. The log did not include results <br />of these investigations. There is a burden on the Fire Department to send a <br />truck. Gina would like to understand how many of these calls are real leaks <br />and repeat calls about the same leak. <br />• David Z. asked Chief Burns if they have a map of the gas lines. They don't. <br />• Gina recommended that we discuss the request for a resolution supporting <br />the gas leak legislation to Selectman at their "office hours ", held before their <br />Tuesday night meeting at the first meeting of the month. Next meeting is not <br />posted yet; most likely on September 1 or 8. Gina has written up a <br />resolution. A Selectman has to sponsor it. She will call and find out when the <br />next office hours are and which Selectman will be there. <br />• CSS <br />• No progress to report. Tom 011ila cancelled the last meeting. <br />• Joan will call Tom tomorrow and ask him whether there has been any <br />progress. <br />Page i 1 <br />2013 -09 -03 <br />
