Select Board approves revisions to regional transfer‑station interlocal agreement, pending counterpart approval
Summary
The Select Board voted to accept revisions to the interlocal agreement governing the regional transfer station and authorized entering into the updated agreement subject to Reedfield's approval and any required town‑meeting action.
The Select Board reviewed and approved revisions to the regional solid‑waste and recycling interlocal agreement Aug. 6 and agreed to enter into the updated agreement pending approval by the other participating municipality.
The packet included a redlined draft. The primary change noted by town staff was adjustment of committee membership language (reducing the number of municipality‑appointed community members in one provision). Town staff said Reedfield’s Select Board will consider the same draft at its next meeting.
Board members discussed whether the interlocal agreement requires approval by each municipality’s legislative body (town meeting) or can be executed by municipal officers. Staff said the draft requires filing with the Secretary of State and clerks and — depending on local rules — may require legislative approval; the motion authorized the Select Board to proceed while staff confirms whether a town‑meeting vote is necessary.
The board moved to accept the revisions and enter into the interlocal agreement with Reedfield, subject to determining whether town meeting approval is required; the motion was seconded and carried. The town manager said she would follow up with Reedfield and confirm next steps for execution and filing.
