Hubbardston board tables budget review, accepts higher landfill testing quote and cancels April 14 meeting
Summary
At its meeting the Town of Hubbardston Board of Health approved minutes, tabled agenda item 9B (budget review) pending further accounting information, discussed accepting a new landfill testing quote of $7,128 (plus mowing), scheduled a mid‑April field trip to review repairs, and voted to cancel the April 14 meeting and reconvene April 28.
The Town of Hubbardston Board of Health opened its regular meeting and approved minutes from the March 10 session.
Board members reviewed routine permit business and Title 5 applications before turning to old business. Members discussed a vendor proposal to continue landfill testing and related services; the quote for testing and associated work was reported as $7,128, excluding routine mowing. Board members said the town will need to add a contingency for mowing and other incidental costs and discussed adding approximately $10,000 to the budget to cover testing and related services.
A board member moved to table agenda item 9B — a detailed budget discussion — citing missing information from the town accountant; the motion was seconded and recorded as tabled pending that financial detail.
The board agreed to schedule a site visit in mid‑April with the vendor contact (referred to in the meeting as "Mark") to review proposed repairs before finalizing budget allocations.
Because several members expected to be absent in mid‑April, a board member moved to cancel the April 14 meeting and hold the next regular meeting on April 28; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The meeting adjourned at about 8:19 p.m.
The transcript did not include formal roll-call vote tallies for the motions reported (minutes approval, tabling 9B, cancellation of the April 14 meeting); each motion was seconded and the chair announced the result as approved or "done."
