Minutes of December 10, 2009

Attendance: Jim, Barbara, Steve, Ken, Doug, Margaret

  1. Revenue discussion: Tipping fees are $79/ton. Lamprey bills are not readable and Steve is meeting with Lamprey for clarification. Revenue  losses in construction debris, refrigerators, A/C, and TV/Monitors discussed at length.
     
    Motion Margaret/2nd Ken. Recommend to the Selectmen to set disposal rates that are comparable to surrounding towns.

  2. Single stream discussion: The committee notes that 3 Selectmen and Steve have voiced opposition for single stream. Further discussion related to the Concord/Penacook plan that requires we send all recyclables.
     
    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.

  3. 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. The scales would be paid for by recycling funds, if the loan for the compactor is close to completion.
