Board shares town updates: school info session, town hall painting RFP, transfer station changes and community events
Summary
The board reminded residents of a March 31 information session and April 8 vote on the Jamaica Village School, previewed an RFP for historic town‑hall painting, reported progress on transfer station internet, announced a Rosslynville schoolhouse open house on June 6, and outlined token/dump card changes.
Select Board members and staff used the public‑concerns portion of the meeting to share several community updates. The board reminded residents that an information session on whether to close Jamaica Village School is scheduled for March 31 at 7 p.m., with a formal vote on April 8 (voting 9 a.m.–7 p.m.) at the town office.
Staff said they will soon issue an RFP for exterior painting of the historic town hall (lead paint remediation will be required), and reported that Xfinity is expected to begin construction at the transfer station within roughly 30 days to provide internet service. The board also described token sales for the transfer station (tokens to replace some yellow bags), dump‑card requirements for resident access and inventory levels for bags and tokens.
Community members announced a Rosslynville Schoolhouse open house on Saturday, June 6 (10 a.m.–3 p.m.) and asked the board to consider signage welcoming visitors to Jamaica and the Rosslynville hamlet; the chair said he would place signage on the next meeting agenda.
