Selectboard approves Transfer Station attendant position, keeps $20/hr posting but leaves room to increase pay
Summary
Tunbridge approved a Transfer Station Attendant job description and posting at $20 per hour, with the board open to higher pay based on experience and budget room; the gate has started operating and the board discussed a bear-proof compost container and training substitutes.
The Selectboard approved a Transfer Station Attendant position description on July 14 and authorized posting the job at the previously discussed rate of $20 per hour. Town staff noted a suggestion from a community member to increase pay to about $25 per hour because the work is part-time with no benefits and performed outdoors; the board left the posting at $20 but said it would consider higher pay depending on applicants' experience and available budget.
Gary Mullen reported the station gate has been up and working, and there were no reports of trash left at the station the first Saturday the station was closed. The board discussed building a secure compost container to deter bears and asked staff to obtain cost estimates; Aileen Lem will also arrange cross-training so board members can substitute for the attendant when needed.
