Chuck
asked whether Woody has found
interested volunteers for the Recycling Committee. Woody indicated that he has three people in
mind, but just needs to contact them. Steve indicated that they do not want the
committee to manage the staff, but to promote a recycling spirit by energizing
the Town. Chuck asked about the status
of the packer problem. Woody indicated
that he has rented a generator for this weekend and will hook it up to the
compactor. He also said that Atlantic
Leasing has been cooperative and that there is a partial warranty.
A
discussion about the commercial haulers, with Mr. Gleason in particular, took
place. Chuck indicated that he was
concerned about having a 100% inspection process of Mr. Gleason,
he would like a spot check only. He
suggested that they brainstorm first then bring in the haulers to find an
equitable solution. Woody said that
things are going okay now, he is checking only 6-8
bags at a time. Steve reviewed the
ordinance from 1987 covering the operating rules for the dump. Steve indicated that he would like to charge
a fee to haulers, use colored bags and see inspection of bags at the same rate
for everyone. Woody mentioned that he
has left a message with the Page and Throw program. Steve suggested that Woody check around at
other transfer stations. Steve indicated
that the Board will set up a work session and asked Woody to get some rules. Woody will call Janice.
Steve
asked the Chief what procedure he followed to get prices for the new
radios. Nelson indicated that it was

follows on the invoices from now on. Steve
further indicated that the difference between what was spent versus approved is
not available for him to spend.
Steve

$1,500 or more.
