Motion/ Doug, 2nd Margaret to Call the question to end further discussion of the single stream proposal at this time. Vote: Barbara abstains, all others Yea, Motion carries.
- Steve discussed the compactor loan that is being paid for by recycling revenues. He will talk with Sandy to see what the balance
is. He stated there is a good possibility that this loan is close to being paid in full. Motion/Margaret, 2nd Ken to discuss the possibility of a warrant article requesting permission to obtain a loan to purchase scales.
