Selectmen authorize signing of Connecticut Tire Stewardship Program contract
Summary
The Board of Selectmen authorized town staff to sign a Connecticut Tire Stewardship Program contract to support a town tire-recycling program; the board approved the authorization by voice vote and asked staff to proceed with implementation details.
The Bethany Board of Selectmen authorized town staff to sign a Connecticut Tire Stewardship Program contract, enabling the town to participate in the state stewardship program and to accept tires for recycling as discussed earlier.
The chair explained she had forwarded the contract to the board and said she wanted authority to sign it but could not sign without a board vote. A motion to authorize signing the contract was made and seconded and the board voted in favor.
No dollar amount or specific financial obligation was discussed on the record during the meeting; board members asked only whether the authorization would allow the chair or a designated official to execute the contract. The board did not detail implementation steps or any timeline during the discussion; staff were expected to handle logistics and follow-up.
The authorization is administrative: the board gave the go-ahead to execute the Connecticut Tire Stewardship Program agreement and directed staff to proceed and report back on any implementation questions, such as collection logistics and vendor arrangements.
