Town council waives demolition disposal fees for Bedford Men’s Club dugout work
Summary
The Bedford Town Council voted 7-0 May 7 to waive demolition debris disposal fees after the Bedford Men’s Club removed siding and made repairs to Hawkins Field dugouts; town staff reported two transfer-station loads totaling just under three-quarters of a ton and $136.90 in fees.
The Bedford Town Council voted unanimously May 7 to waive demolition debris disposal fees for repairs made by the Bedford Men’s Club at Hawkins Field.
Town Manager Rick reported that the Men’s Club removed siding, added new siding and trim, and painted two dugouts. He told the council the work generated two loads taken to the transfer station, “just under 3 quarters of a ton or $136.90.” The club used its own funds to complete the improvements, Rick said.
Councilor Kathleen Bemis moved to grant the waiver and Councilor Michael Strand seconded. Chair Lori Ratke called for the vote; the motion passed 7-0.
Why it matters: The council’s waiver reduces a small disposal cost for a volunteer organization that performed facility improvements at a town recreation field. Councilors praised the group’s work and noted strong community participation during the project.
Meeting record and vote: The transcript records a motion by Councilor Kathleen Bemis and a second by Councilor Michael Strand; the roll call voice vote was recorded as 7 in favor, 0 opposed.
Next steps: No additional conditions or follow-up tasks were recorded in the meeting minutes regarding the waiver.
