Cotton questioned whether removing old heating vents was <br />necessary, noting that if it adds significant cost, it may not be justified—especially if <br />additional resurfacing would then be required for aesthetic reasons. He emphasized the <br />need for a clearer understanding of how the total cost was developed. <br />Town Manager Rodney Collins responded that he would defer to the DPW Director to <br />provide more detailed information on the project scope. <br />Selectman Weeden agreed that outdated systems should be removed if recommended by <br />engineers, expressing concern that leaving them in place could create health risks such as <br />mold or spore buildup. Weeden supported bringing the building up to current safety <br />17 <br /> <br /> <br />
