Board approves seasonal transfer-site schedule; Mondays to be closed
Summary
The board approved operating the town transfer site seasonally from January through a date in May, four days per week with Mondays closed, and asked staff to post notices and update the website; members discussed staffing to ensure an employee receives full hours.
After reviewing paperwork and seasonal options, the board voted to operate the transfer site starting in January through a date to be determined in May, four days per week with Mondays closed.
A Committee member suggested, "January 1 to Memorial Day and make sure we get the stuff on the make sure it reflects on the website," and members agreed that notices and signage should be posted. The Chair emphasized staffing concerns, noting the need to ensure an employee (Donald) receives full hours and that DPW duties could be adjusted so the employee gets 40 hours.
Why it matters: seasonal changes to transfer-site hours affect residents’ access to municipal disposal services and can shift traffic and revenue patterns for the town. The board recorded the motion (motion by Gene; second by Sean in the minutes) and voted in favor with no opposition noted on the public record.
Next steps: staff to publish notices and website updates reflecting the new schedule and to confirm staffing arrangements so the affected employee retains full hours.
