Minutes of Transfer Station Committee Meeting -- November 2nd, 2005 10:30 a.m.
In Attendance: Steve Maddock, Pete Bleyler, Marya Klee, Simon Carr.
Apologies: Cynthia Bognolo, Al Pryor.
1. Operation:
a. We had had two propane tanks dumped in the metal bin, at the end of last Sunday’s session. We needed procedures to address such issues.
b. Fiber: We had checked further with Bonny Koch, NRRA and our load per pull was actually directly comparable with other towns.
c. Operational Regulations: Steve had prepared a draft document, which was discussed and Marya agreed to incorporate the discussed changes. There were also areas in which we needed co-operation from the Highway department. The committee will take it to the Selectboard on November 30th.
2. Development:
a. Budget: Pete had produced a budget and submitted this to the Selectboard. Operating expenses were estimated at $89,200 against estimated income of $81,600 making a net expense of $7,600. The capital costs we were proposing were $35,000 for a fixed compactor, installation and a concrete pad. If a compactor were approved, we should see an additional saving of approximately $1,300. We would not be making any proposal for a pole barn this year. The Budget Committee meeting is November 9th 7 p.m. and the committee will attend to discuss any questions relating to our proposal.
b. Compactor: were still awaiting an alternative price.
3. Bargain Barn: We had had a summary of the amount that they had needed to dispose of this summer. Steve will analyze this preparatory to discussing this with the Selectboard.
4. Next meeting: The next meeting will be Wednesday November 16th 2005 10.30 a.m. at Lyme Center Academy.
