Minutes

Present: Judy Brotman, Dick Jones, Charles Ragan, Carole Bont, Dina Cutting, Patty Jenks, Pauline Field, Ed Gray.
Action Items / Administrative Matters:
1. Ed Gray met with the Board to discuss the Ct. River “clean up” day this Saturday. The Board voted to allow the clean-up trash to be brought to the Transfer Station “fee free” without being in Town of Lyme bags. Charles Ragan and James Graham will coordinate the delivery of the trash to the Transfer Station.
2. The Board voted unanimously to amend the charge of the town Offices Committee from 11 members to 13 members. The Board then appointed Frank Bowles to the committee.
3. Staff discussed alternatives and additions to the present limited availability of the trash bags. One option may be to ask the post office and the library to carry and sell the bags. Rich’s Insurance Agency may be another location. Another option may be to have stickers available in place of the trash bags. Stickers could be mailed out to individuals in a similar manner that car registrations are mailed out.
4. The Board advised Carole and Dina that requests to use the Academy Building, the Town Forest and Parking on the Green should be approved by Chief Field and Town Staff (Carole and/or Dina). The Board will only interfere if the staff feels there is an issue that requires Board intervention.
