Board votes to recommend returning Transfer Station to revolving fund

The Wayland Board of Public Works voted unanimously to approve a draft memorandum recommending the Select Board consider returning the Transfer Station to a revolving fund instead of keeping it as an enterprise fund. Chair Michael Wegerbauer shared a draft memo on screen and said much of the language originally drafted by Uveges remained in place; Vice‑Chair Michael Spelman moved to approve the memorandum subject to final review by Judy Ling and Wegerbauer. "Spelman made a motion to approve the draft memorandum subject to review and finalization by Ling and Wegerbauer," the minutes record.

The motion passed on a roll call vote, 5–0–0 (Ling, Spelman, Storer, Chiang, Wegerbauer). Wegerbauer said the Board's working group has asked the vendor to study a town‑wide pickup option in addition to the Transfer Station and to compare the costs of running the Transfer Station as currently configured versus a recycling center. He also asked Director Tom Holder to check again with the Energy Committee about using the landfill for a solar array. The Board did not itself adopt a funding change; its action was to forward a recommendation to the Select Board for consideration.
