Selectmen review landfill hauler notice, ask about new equipment; Great Moose Lake group seeks boat-landing inspections

Selectmen reviewed a notice sent to landfill haulers at the Oct. 21 meeting; Town staff described the notice as an effort to "get caught up" after a recent fire. Susan Frost, staff, told the board the notice was posted on the town website and distributed to haulers.

Selectman John Hikel asked why the notice was sent; Frost said the town needed the notice to help catch up with operations after the fire. Hikel also asked how the town’s new machine was performing; the minutes record his question but do not include a reported answer or performance details for the machine.

During new business, the board reviewed a letter sent to Charter Communications; the minutes do not provide the letter’s contents or any follow-up action. Also under new business, Hikel noted that the Great Moose Lake Association remains interested in conducting inspections at the boat landing. Susan Frost said the association would need to work with the State and that the town has no responsibility for boat-landing inspections.

Why it matters: landfill operations and hauler compliance affect municipal waste handling and revenues, especially after a disruptive event like a fire. The minutes document notification steps taken by staff and show the board seeking updates on equipment and third-party inspection requests but record no formal motions or decisions on these items.

The record shows warrants were signed and the meeting adjourned at 5:51 p.m.
