Board of Assessors directs staffing and training changes for Transfer Station
Summary
Sandy River Plantation's Board approved updating the Transfer Station attendant job description to add lawn care and winter duties, asked the Clerk to draft a resignation letter for the current attendant, and directed staff to register assessors for Core One operator training.
The Sandy River Plantation Board of Assessors on June 3 directed changes to operations and staffing at the town Transfer Station, including updating the attendant job description and arranging operator training.
After reviewing submitted lawn-care proposals, the Board determined that routine mowing could be handled by the Transfer Station Attendant and asked the Clerk to contact contractors to determine whether that change would alter quoted fees. The Board also requested a flat-rate proposal from one vendor to make an apples-to-apples comparison with other bids.
The Clerk announced an upcoming Core One training date for Transfer Station operations and the Board directed her to register First Assessor Steve Carr and Assessor Joanne Taylor for the session. The Board asked the Clerk to draft a resignation letter for the current Transfer Station Attendant to sign; as of the meeting no formal resignation had been received and the position had not yet been posted. The Board discussed whether to post the vacancy in the absence of a written resignation.
The Board voted to revise the Transfer Station Attendant job description to explicitly include weed-whacking, general lawn upkeep and winter shoveling. During the Transfer Station update the Board also recommended the Clerk follow up on options for e-waste pickup and tire disposal and provided contact information for e-waste services.
Next steps: the Clerk will contact contractors about revised lawn-care responsibilities, register Carr and Taylor for Core One training, draft the attendant resignation letter, and follow up on e-waste and tire-disposal arrangements.
