Selectboard reviews transfer station management plan; food-scrap building cost to town and sign-off deadline for manager
Summary
Town Administrator Trish Waugh said responses to a state request for information on the transfer station are due Jan. 31; a draft management plan was sent to manager Acker for sign-off by Jan. 20 and the town budget includes $4,000 for transfer station expenses; the Selectboard discussed food-scrap storage and who would bear that cost.
Trish Waugh updated the board on the Transfer Station: the town must submit responses to a state request for information by January 31. She said the draft management plan has been sent to Acker (who manages the Lincoln Transfer Station) to confirm procedures; Acker has a January 20 sign-off deadline. One operational issue under review is the handling of food scraps, which Trish said would be stored in a closed building with wood chips until transported off site.
When asked who would pay for a possible 'food scrap building,' Trish said Lincoln would be responsible and confirmed the town budget currently includes $4,000 for Transfer Station expenses, but she asked the board to wait for Acker’s response before final decisions. No formal vote to spend beyond the budgeted amount was taken at the meeting.
