MINUTES

Present: Steve Maddock, Pete Bleyler, Pauline Field, Patty Jenks, Carole Bont, Judy Brotman, Dick Jones, Charles Ragan.
1. The Board met with Steve and Pete representing the transfer station committee to review the compactor bids. Based on the recommendation of the Committee, the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to award the contract for a trash compactor to Leavitt for a RP-0200 at $26,260. This was both technically the best proposal and the low bid.

3. The Board approved the donation of two rolls of large garbage bags.
