Committee discusses redrafting solid‑waste ordinance to remove fee schedule and post recycling rules
Summary
Staff reported proposed updates to the solid‑waste ordinance to remove embedded fee schedules and standardize recycling preparation guidance on the town website; the town has contracted a code consolidator and staff will produce a redraft for the next meeting and a subsequent public hearing.
Staff reported that updates to the solid‑waste management ordinance aim to remove embedded fee schedules and move fees into an administratively maintained schedule, and to update the list and instructions for recycling preparation posted on the town website.
Staff said the town recently signed a contract with a code consolidation vendor to standardize and combine all ordinances into one book and that the consolidation is expected to take up to two years. Committee members asked staff to prepare a redraft and target timeline, noted the ordinance will require a public hearing and likely review by the select board, and confirmed staff will prepare a revised draft for the next meeting.
The committee did not take a vote on the ordinance at the meeting; members requested the updated draft and clearer printouts showing the edits for review before any public hearing is scheduled.
