Preliminorzy Budget I have distributed copies of the preliminary budget for the fiscal year : a;r 1, 1966 to i�pril 30, 1967. I suggest the President and Board of Trustees meet as committee-of-the-whole to discuss the budget in detail next Tuesday evening at 7:00 P.M. 2. ?catig E:ir Condlitioning_and Refrigeration Licensing The State Statutes were amended in 1965 to permit municipalities to. a. Provide for the regulation, safe construction' installation, alteration, inspection, testing and maintenance of most heating, air conditioning and refrigerating systems; b. Provide for examination, licensing and regulation of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contrrctors; and c. Provide for the appointment of a board of examiners which sh it examine applicants for and issue licenses to such contractors as are found capable and trustworthy. Since the Statutes also provide that any contractor licensed in his home municipality may install systems in any other municipality without securing an additional license, there is an advantage to locally based contractors in our adoption of a licensing procedure. Accordingly, I have directed the Building Department to accumulate the necessary data on codes and procedures. A recommendation will be forthcoming for your consideration. George L.
