Minutes of Transfer Station Committee -- September 03, 2004 11.00 a.m.
In Attendance: Steve Maddock, Simon Carr, Marya Klee, Cynthia Bognolo, Peter Bleyler.
Apologies: Al Pryor
1. New Hampshire the Beautiful: We should make a grant application as soon as possible. The submissision has to be made by the Selectboard and requires a brief summary of our status. Simon will write this and pass it to Pete Bleyler.
2. Operation:
a. Al is still having problems in getting Fred Stearns to come and pack down the fibre container. Steve and Pete will take the issue up with the Selectboard. Jed is doing a good job of packing the fibre down by hand, but Al considers that we could use a 40 cu.yd. container.
b. We are still awaiting a response from Casella on a new MSW contract.
c. Al has contacted other haulers, but has not yet found anyone suitable.
3. Surrounding Towns’ Methods: Marya, Steve, Pete MacDonald and Simon gave brief summaries of their findings of the surrounding towns, which Marya will combine into spreadsheets, both for our use and public consumption.
4. Next meeting: 10:30 a.m. Thursday 15th September. This is to catch up on the reports of adjoining towns’ facilities.
