Town manager outlines landfill inspection, road‑grinding schedule, ballots and Memorial Day plans
Summary
The town manager reported that DEP inspected the old Winding Hill landfill with only minor issues to address, the road‑grinding contractor has returned with a contract, absentee ballots for the primary are available, and Memorial Day events are scheduled at 9:00 a.m.; spraying for Japanese knotweed and animal‑burrow repairs were also announced.
The town manager gave a multi-item administrative report covering public‑works, environmental and civic events.
Key points: The Department of Environmental Protection inspected the old landfill on Winding Hill and found only some small items for Public Works to address; the manager said staff will arrange spraying for Japanese knotweed and will fill and seed animal burrows. He also reported that after months of seeking a contractor, a road‑grinding vendor has returned with a contract expected to allow grinding and paving work to proceed on troublesome intersections and steep sections such as Ward Hill and Warner Road.
The manager said absentee ballots for the upcoming primary and two school ballots are now available for request in person, by phone or online. Waste‑management fees are running slightly below last year year‑to‑date and the town is monitoring trends.
On civic events, the manager confirmed a Memorial Day ceremony next Monday at 9:00 a.m. at the monument next to the bank, with student essays to be read, and said the Parks Committee has scheduled a boat parade for June 27. He asked board members to attend if they wish and said logistics are in hand.
Several operational items were marked for follow-up by staff, including finalizing the road‑grinding contract and implementing the small fixes noted in the landfill inspection.
