Nash suggested that in the future Mr. Hunter look into green or white roofs for long -term
savings in utility costs. Mr. Hunter indicated that the older buildings are not equipped to
handle the additional weight of green roofs, and it would be more costly t o make them
adaptable to them. However, he is looking into white roofs. Mr. Hunter also indicated that
when they replace roofs, they increase the insulation to R -25, in keeping with the lead
recommendations, and this helps reduce utility costs.
Potts asked whether or not it would be extensive to do a cost analysis on white or green
roofs when they have future roofing projects. Mr. Hunter indicated that they did compare
costs for white versus black roofs, and their study concluded that it would not be
beneficial financially to replace black roofs with white roofs. Potts suggested that Mr.
Hunter submit the cost analyses to the committee in the future. Mr. Hunter indicated that
he could do that.
Woodward indicated his wish to see the Request For Proposals in the future.
Potts moved the Planning & Building report to the Finance Committee with the
recommendation that the above-mentioned resolution be approved. Supported by
