In Attendance: Ellen Barrett, Laura Brannen, Simon Carr, Steve Maddock, Al Pryor, Peter Bleyler
Next meeting: 5:00pm, Thursday, September 18 at the town offices
Issues:
§ The transfer station (TS) has never been legal because we don’t have permit – we don’t meet the requirements of permitting. The TS it’s supposed to be fenced and have appropriate signage with posted hours – but we can’t do that without permit.
§ No room for both transfer station and town garage on same site but this needs to be confirmed.
§ It is not clear how this committee can move forward when we have no idea what the site will be. This committee’s charge is very different if there is no site for the trash/recycling operations. Is it this committee’s charge to find a site? We need clarification from Selectboard and the Town Garage Committee.
