Selectboard approves FY27 Transfer Station permit and punch‑ticket fees; confirms compost punch tickets included
Summary
The Selectboard approved a FY27 permit sticker fee of $63.68 and a punch ticket price of $5.00 per punch for the Transfer Station; the manager confirmed compost punch tickets are included and a board member said punch-card sales average about $250.
The Selectboard approved new FY27 fees for the Transfer Station, setting the permit sticker fee at $63.68 and the punch ticket price at $5.00 per punch after Town Manager Brandon Gulnick reviewed the budgeted expense structure and the allocation of fixed and variable costs shared with Reading and Cavendish.
During the discussion Joseph Bublat read a question from the Zoom chat submitted by alisa scipio asking, "Does that include compost punch tickets?" Mr. Gulnick confirmed that the proposed rates do include compost punch tickets. Selectboard member Rika Henderson said she has consistently sold about "$250‑worth of punch cards" at the Transfer Station, underscoring steady local usage.
The board approved both fee motions unanimously. The discussion made clear the enterprise fund calculations were done to the penny and that recycling charges were a separate topic not on the agenda.
