Schena, Paula <br />From: Reading - Selectmen <br />Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 11:33 AM <br />To: 'JSeagrams@aol.com; Reading - Selectmen; Town Manager <br />Cc: McIntire, Ted; Schena, Paula <br />Subject: RE: Trash Pick Up <br />Dear Dick: <br />Thank you for sending an email to the Board of Selectmen. The Board has adopted a policy of not <br />sending substantive responses to emails in order to try to stay in compliance with the <br />Commonwealth's open meeting law which prohibits policy discussions by the Board outside of an <br />open public meeting. Please understand that the Board values your input on issues and your <br />correspondence will be included in the materials circulated to the Board prior to its next meeting and <br />it is available as part of the public record. The Board members will have a chance to comment during <br />an upcoming public meeting. <br />Meanwhile I will refer this matter to the Town Manager and ask that the DPW Director investigate <br />this incident. <br />If you want to have a personal discussion of the issue with a member of the Board, we hold "office" <br />hours in Reading Town Hall before the first regularly scheduled meeting of each month at 6:30 PM in <br />the first floor conference room. <br />Thank you again for contacting the Board of Selectmen. <br />Ben Tafoya <br />Secretary <br />Reading Board of Selectmen <br />1/c Board of Selectmen <br />From: JSeagrams@aol.com [mailto:3Seagrams@aol.com] <br />Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 8:34 AM <br />To: Reading - Selectmen; Town Manager <br />Subject: Trash Pick Up <br />This morning at 6:50 AM the recycle truck was in front of my house. This appears to be a <br />"one man operation". The truck is left running and unattended while the operator leaves the <br />truck to make the pick up. This morning there were 15 pieces of recyclables strewn over the <br />street and my driveway after he made the pick up and left. If the Town is paying for this pick <br />up,-we should be getting better service. <br />There is not much sense in recycling, if the majority of it ends up littering the street. I picked <br />it up after the truck moved on. <br />Dick Nazzaro <br />3/26/2008 13A Carnation Circle <br />
