Selectboard approves practical choices for lighting, outlets, telecom and equipment locations

Whitingham officials and consultants discussed interior and exterior electrical details intended to keep the garage functional and affordable. The minutes record preference for abundant, controllable lighting in the garage, quad outlets throughout the space with doubled outlets in office areas, no vehicle lifts, and a requirement for garage fans. Road Commissioner Stanley Janovsky recommended placing the town's large compressor in the mezzanine and adding outlets there.

Exterior-lighting options considered included centering lights over each garage door with possibly a 15‑minute timer interlocked to the door opener; a tunable motion sensor was suggested for employee parking areas. The board decided not to install security cameras at this stage. Consultants reported that telecommunications and Wi‑Fi pathways will be installed during construction and that a review set of electrical plans should be available the following week to finalize wiring and access-point placement.
