8. Dick Jones moved that the Selectmen declare Friday, June 11th, a Legal Holiday in accordance with the federal government’s declaration of a national day of mourning to honor former President Ronald Reagan. Judy Brotman seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
9. Pete Bleyler updated the Selectmen on the Transfer Station’s status:
a. The Selectmen confirmed their previous voted to contract with NRRA for all the recycling collection, and to contract with NE Waste for solid waste collection (the packer). At the present time the C&D and Tire disposal is not resolved. This should reduce recycling costs by about $13,000 for the year. All fibers will be combined, all glass will be combined, and all plastic, tin and aluminum containers will be combined.
b. The Transfer Station Committee has visited several other transfer stations over the state to see how they operate. Most have many more hours of operation, including more full time personnel, have their own packer on site, and have a per bag payment system for the solid waste.
c. The Transfer Station Committee will be putting together an educational flyer as a hand out to help introduce the townspeople to the new system.
d. No new policy will be instituted at this time. The Town will order a new supply of vehicle window stickers for this year. A new policy will be developed for discussion at next year’s Town Meeting.
e. There is no change to the Tire policy yet. At present we are working on finding another disposal contractor for the tires we have accepted (the previous company is no longer in business).

11. The Selectmen signed a supplemental Intent to Cut for T. and K. Green, Map 406, lot 15.
