4. The Selectmen met with members of the Transfer Station Committee, Steve Maddock, Marya Klee, Pete McDonald, and Simon Carr. Several issues were discussed:
a. The additional attendant has not been hired at this time. The additional attendant will allow the transfer committee members not to have to be there on Sundays. Police should be there on Sunday to do the enforcement for the near-time future.
b. Pete McDonald addressed the Board. He explained what he thought had happened at the incident on the preceding Sunday.
c. The Board thanked the members of the committee for all their hard work, and reminded them that they should not be acting as enforcers of the regulations, but rather they should be offering information and assistance to the public. Any violations of the regulations should be referred to the Police for follow-up.
