Board raises senior transfer‑station sticker prices; regular sticker unchanged
Summary
The Board of Health and Select Board agreed to raise senior transfer‑station sticker prices to $40 with an extra sticker at $20; the regular household sticker price was not increased at this meeting.
The Select Board and Board of Health reviewed transfer‑station revenues and approved a modest price change for senior stickers ahead of the FY26 sticker sales.
Town staff and the board discussed rising hauling and personnel costs in the enterprise fund and recommended a modest increase for senior rates. The board approved raising the senior annual transfer‑station sticker from $30 to $40 and increasing the senior extra‑sticker fee from $15 to $20. The regular resident sticker rate will remain unchanged at current levels for now.
Officials said sticker sales begin in May for the FY26 year and that bag‑fee decisions would be considered separately with an implementation date of July 1 if changed. The board emphasized the need to balance fee changes to preserve enterprise fund solvency while limiting impacts on fixed‑income residents.
A motion to increase the senior sticker price and extra sticker fee was seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the minutes.
