He said that the town would have some leverage to make this happen <br />when the developer asks for his trash permits. Perhaps we could negotiate a recycle <br />trash bin into this plan. Bob also stated that he supports business recycle bins in <br />other parts of the town. <br />• Bob also mentioned that the town is doing much in terms of recycling energy, trash <br />collection, health insurance and savings, with our ESCO contracts, but town <br />employees are too busy doing their jobs and don't have the time to publicize these <br />cost saving actions. The committee responded that they could help to publicize these <br />important town actions. <br />• Mike mentioned the use of an energy "dashboard" on the town's website that would <br />report ongoing energy usage by town buildings. <br />• In regards to an electric charging station for plug in vehicles, Bob felt that we needed <br />to solicit the wishes of the business community before making any decisions on the <br />placement of such a unit. <br />• We also spoke of the Green Community equivalency idea which would enable us to <br />improve our building codes using programs such as the Stretch program which would <br />strengthen our code by 30% over present state building codes. <br />• Bob thought that we should keep our March 18th date with the selectmen.
