Minutes of Transfer Station Committee Meeting -- August 16th 2006 10:30 a.m.
In Attendance: Steve Maddock, Cynthia Bognolo, Pete Bleyler, Simon Carr.
Apologies: Pete MacDonald, Charles Ragan, Marya Klee, Al Pryor.
1. Katie Jenks Resignation: We have received a resignation letter from Katie Jenks.
2. Operation:
a. Locks: Some of the padlocks had been cut by vendors who did not have keys. Steve is pursuing NRRA for reimbursement of these.
b. Jed is taking materials from the scrap metal bin. He is also booking longer hours than he is working with Al’s approval. There was also concern that Lance Goodrich and Cassie Sterns were hanging about during opening hours and also taking materials. It was noted that these issues were not this committee’s responsibility, but that they should be drawn to the Selectboard’s notice for them to take action.
c. Cynthia had been talking with Bonnie Delphia, concerning the third attendant’s position. It was possible that with the increased hours (by including Wednesdays) she would be interested in the job, providing the Wednesday slot did not start before 4.00 p.m.
3. Budget: Pete presented the figures for income and expenditure for the first six months. Both were down on budget, partly because recyclable values were lower than anticipated, but bag sales were down on budget. It was not clear whether these sales included some of the period that we were not being paid by LCS.
4. Compactor: We had still not had confirmation of the outcome of our recent meeting with the Selectboard.
a. Suppliers: Pete had prepared drafts of letters to supplies asking for clarification of their quotations (sent August 18th). Steve had talked with Chris Whitcher regarding the charge for hauling a compactor container. This would be $225 for a 50yd. container. We need to get the cost for a 40yd container as it was unlikely that we could have a container larger than 40yd.
b. Schedule: we needed confirmation from Charles of the location for the compactor and when concrete was likely to be poured for this and the salt shed slab.
5. Next meeting: The next meeting will be Wednesday September 6th 2006 10.30 a.m. at Lyme Fire Station Meeting Room.
Respectfully submitted
