HHW and Universal Waste Collection: Hancock County Planning Commission has funds to help again this year, and have volunteered to cooperate. Tony will contact them. We already have commitments from Uniwaste and EPI for September 20th, we are waiting on approval from the High School for use of the parking lot.
Frenchboro’s Admission to ADD: They will have to pay their share of the startup costs. Beth Gott said she could provide 2007 tonnages of MSW, so the share can be calculated.

Elliott will be in email contact with the people on Frenchboro.
