Selectboard considers saving fund for possible $10,000 boiler replacement
Summary
CSI told the board a functioning damper cannot be sourced due to the boiler's age and recommended full replacement (estimated ~$10,000); Vice-chair Pat Treckman urged that the cost be included in the 2026 budget and Chair Peter Brzozowy suggested creating a reserve fund.
Selectboard members said they were concerned that the town’s aging boiler may require full replacement after CSI Heating reported problems sourcing a replacement damper. Peter Brzozowy told the board CSI had difficulty finding a replacement damper and said the entire unit might need replacement at an estimated cost of $10,000. Vice-chair Pat Treckman recommended including the potential cost in the 2026 budget.
The board did not authorize a replacement at the meeting but agreed to consider a budget line or reserve fund to spread the cost over time. No formal vote was taken on funding the replacement; the board treated the item as budget planning and agreed to revisit it at future meetings.
