Review proposed stretch energy code bylaw addition which pertains to construction projects
The Bylaw Committee Discussed the language of the proposed addition, including the fact that
this is more stringent regulation than what currently exists, the language is what is provided by
the state, and that most town have imposed this stretch energy code and its codified by the
state. There was a general discussion as to whether or not there is a need to make the wording
clearer to indicate that this is not something which is discretionary.

of the Bylaw Committee, which was seconded by Jesse Arnold. The Bylaws Committee
