The Town of Canaan STEAP Implementation Committee convened a special meeting on June 15, 2026, at 4:31 p.m. at Town Farm, 108 Route 63 in Falls Village to review site and procurement items on its agenda.
The committee discussed a proposed pavilion location. Committee member Steve Dean said he is in favor of the site and “doesn’t believe there will be any issues” with the location. No formal vote on site approval is recorded in the minutes.
Members reviewed procurement steps for waste-management equipment. The committee noted that the trash compactor request for proposals (RFP) is available to the public, advancing the procurement process for a trash compactor and associated food-waste container.
The committee also discussed building maintenance procurement: members said an RFP is being prepared for roof work at the Senior Center and the assessor’s building. Committee members referred pavilion and pool-house work back to the same set of agenda discussions.

Committee member Catherine Wales moved to adjourn at 5:05 p.m.; the motion was seconded by Chris Wadsworth and the adjournment carried by unanimous vote of members present. The minutes were signed and filed by Eileen Kinsella.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the trash compactor RFP remains available to the public and staff or members are preparing the Senior Center/Assessor’s roof RFP. No formal motions, contracts, or vote tallies beyond the adjournment were recorded for the other agenda items.
