Shall the Town of Hampton vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $32,000 for the purpose of replacing the Town Office, Second Floor, West Side Heating System with a Heat Pump Mini-Split System to include all labor, materials, and utility connections, with said appropriation to be funded from the Unassigned Fund balance. This shall be a non-lapsing appropriation per RSA 32:7, VI and shall not lapse until the project is completed or by March 31, 2021, whichever occurs sooner? (Majority vote required)
What it means: This Article would approve the replacement of the current heating system on the second floor west wing of the Town Office with at Heat-Pump system. Cost of $32,000 includes all labor, material and utility connections, and would be paid for by the Unassigned Fund balance.
Those in favor say: The current system is inefficient and does not properly balance the heat in the area. The proposed heat-pump system would save heating costs in the long term.
Those against say: No one spoke against the Article at the Deliberative Session.
Tax impact: There is no tax impact since the funds would be drawn from the Unassigned Fund balance.
