Action and Discussion Items:
Martha Moore of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee gave a
brief presentation of their Pay-As-You-Throw program
proposal . Although details of the program have not yet been
finalized, several ideas were reviewed. The main idea is
that local merchants will sell stickers to residents for each
bag of trash they wish to dispose of. Price of the stickers
have not been determined . The Solid 'Waste Advisory Committee
requested help from the Finance Committee in determining the
best price to charge for the stickers. The goal of this
program is to increase curbside recycling. Another option
suggested was increasing recycling enforcement.
Town Meeting requested that the Finance Committee review the
Rubbish Collection, Recycling and Disposal proposals that
have been submitted and to make a recommendation to the Town
Manager. The Finance Committee reviewed the contractual
differences . Ted McIntire was present to answer questions.
A motion was made by Keigley and seconded by Green to
recommend the trash proposal be put out to bid. It was
recommended that they be put out as three separate bids;
disposal, collection, and disposal and collection.
An Amendment to the above motion was made by Green and
seconded by MacDonald to go out to bid for;
Collection/Recycling and Disposal/Collection/Recycling and to
leave it to the discretion of the Town Manager as to whether
to bid the Collection by itself. This amendment was approved
by a vote of 7/1/0. The amendment became the main motion and
was approved by a vote of 8/0/0.
On a motion by White seconded by Keigley the Finance
Committee voted to approve the transfer of reserve funds in
