outreach program.  
5.   S. DiCampo is still working on a report update  regarding photo voltaic panel use possibilities.  
6.  C.Zivojinovic reported on his study of the stre tch code noting that further work is needed. His 
expectation is that it will eventually be approved but the full impact of its effect on Commercial 
construction is still uncertain.

that she may be able to aid in securing funding for the necessary wind study. The Task Force 
should urge Kerry to pursue available funds.

Town Department heads are being contacted to provide required information for the database. 
10.  J. McQuaid reported that the recycling contract expires in June 2011. Currently it calls for a flat 
cost for solid waste and recycling. Future contracts should reflect separated bids. A Town 
Recycling Committee may be a considered future option.

        intern manpower to assist in Task Force endeavors. U. Lowell and Worcester Tech were  
        mentioned.
