Resident appeals transfer-station ban at Dresden Select Board meeting
Summary
A Dresden resident asked the Select Board on March 10 whether the towns transfer-station ban against him has a timeline; the board said the ban stemmed from staff safety concerns and will consult attendants before deciding whether to lift it.
A Dresden resident identified in the meeting minutes as Mr. Floyd asked the Select Board at its March 10 meeting whether there is a timeline for a ban from the town transfer station.
Chair Lisa Hewitt told the resident the ban was imposed because staff considered his prior conduct to pose a danger to employees and other residents and that the board would need assurance he would not repeat the behavior before rescinding the restriction. Board members said they would consult the transfer-station attendants about their position and follow up with the resident rather than make an immediate decision.
Jeff Bickford said he wanted the resident to understand why the ban was imposed. The resident responded that he had been intimidated by the situation and told the board he would not repeat the actions that led to the ban. Assistant Road Commissioner Allan Moeller suggested the resident meet with Ernie and the attendants to discuss the issue directly.
No vote or formal timeline was recorded in the minutes; the boards action was described as an agreement to consult attendants and subsequently contact the resident. The minutes use the spelling "Floyd" in the item introduction and later variants "Lloyd" and "Lloyed"; the board minutes do not record the residents full first name.
The Select Board did not take formal action at the meeting to restore access; members said they would return to the issue after getting the attendants input.
