Selectboard approves temporary handrail, tables dumping ordinance and plans floodplain stipend
Summary
The board approved a temporary handrail for the Brookline Meeting House, discussed dumping enforcement (noting state law requires photo evidence and sheriff enforcement) and tabled municipal ordinance action, and proposed a $600 stipend for the Flood Plain Administrator to be approved at the next meeting.
The Selectboard unanimously approved installing a temporary handrail at the Brookline Meeting House side entrance; member Bruce Mello said materials from a removed structure would be reused for the installation.
Separately, the board discussed enforcement for non-resident dumping at the town recycling bin. Members noted state law governs dumping but requires clear documentation—photo of the person, vehicle and license plate, and date/time—and enforcement by the sheriff’s office; the board considered creating a municipal ordinance to allow town-issued tickets but tabled action. The Selectboard also proposed a stipend of $600 for the Flood Plain Administrator, and agreed to vote on that stipend and any training expenses at the next meeting.
