Council approves revocable license for Excel thermal testing at Town Hall

Council approved a resolution granting a revocable license to Excel to access Town Hall property for thermal‑conductivity testing, including drilling a test bore and short‑term on‑site testing. Staff described the license as limited to investigative activities and not an authorization for construction of utility systems; Speaker 15 said Excel expects to "begin to test around August 24" and estimated the overall site work would take about 13 days, with a drilling window of one to a few days plus a continuous 48‑hour thermal conductivity run.
