Board Secretary Ralph Goff explained how Consumers Power Company, through the "Reduce the Use" Program, are paying to have 95% efficient furnaces installed into homes where the tenant, renter or owner has high fuel bills. They disregard the financial status of the owner of the house. The installations are being performed by out-of-town contractors. Mr. Krejcik suggested that we ask Lynn Briggs, lobbyist for Air Conditioning Contractors of America (A. C. C. A.) to look into this process and see if the work could not be performed by local contractors. A motion was made by William Krejcik, seconded by Bill Downs to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.

V T 37 SEPTEMBER 12, 1995 Paul Gilmore Jr., William Krejcik, Christopher Swope, Marcus Metoyer Jr. Bill Downs Staff Present: Ralph W. Goff, Gary Biddinger The meeting was called to order by Chairman William Krejcik at 7:30 p.m. A motion was made by Marcus Metoyer Jr., seconded by Paul Gilmore Jr. to accept the minutes of the May 9, 1995, meeting. Motion carried. Hearing of Delegates & Individuals: CASE MA -001-95 2222 Kirbitz This appeal was submitted by Clayton Stevens, Masters Heating and Air Conditioning for the owner Ralph Roberts. A furnace was installed at 2222 Kirbitz in the bathroom which is the location of the original installation. Arguments in Support of this Appeal: There is no other location in the house to install the furnace and the furnace has been in this location for 25 years and has not caused a problem. Gary Biddinger stated that the problem is combustion air in a confined space. Ralph Goff stated that relief is granted from this provision when the room is considered a confined space and there is a register in the immediate area of the furnace capable of supplying a sufficient amount of combustion air. William Krejcik said he would be more comfortable if some outside air was added to the furnace and the furnace room was ventilated into the attic. Marcus Metoyer Jr. made a motion supported by Paul Gilmore Jr. to allow the variance request with the following stipulations: the bathroom needs a supply air grill capable of providing air at all times the furnace is operating, add a fresh air duct directly from out -doors to the return air system capable of providing 240 c. fm. Motion carried. Old Business: A report was made to Lynn Briggs of Air Conditioning Contractors of America to lobby against the Public Service Commission granting additional funding for the Reduce the Use Program if they do not open the bids to competitive bidding. New Business: The Boards Christmas luncheon has been scheduled for December 12, 1995, at 1:20 p.m. We will meet at the Pretzel Bell, 1020 Trowbridge Rd., East Lansing.
