Trustees discussed the library's HVAC system and recent electricity cost spikes at the March 11 meeting. Board members raised questions about when the system is being turned on and whether timing or patterns of use could be contributing to higher energy bills.
The meeting record states that a new heat pump is on order as part of the facility project. Trustees did not adopt a formal motion beyond noting the purchase, but they discussed monitoring the system's use to identify potential causes for the cost increases.
