Summary

Public Works lead Ed Thayer updated the Select Board on weekly operations, the Valley Road bridge project, outstanding reimbursement requests from NHHSEM, and proposed updates to the town's recycling ordinance.

Ed Thayer, head of Public Works, briefed the Select Board on departmental activities and provided a status update on the Valley Road bridge project. Thayer told the board the bridge project is underway and that the department has documented expenses that may be reimbursable through the New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management (NHHSEM) program.

Thayer also raised the need for Select Board action on reimbursements and discussed proposed updates to the town recycling ordinance. "Ed updated the Select Board on the Bridge project on Valley Road," the minutes record; they also note that Thayer discussed payments the town expects to be reimbursed for from NHHSEM and recycling ordinance updates. The minutes do not include specific dollar figures for reimbursements or the detailed text of the recycling changes; staff follow-up is required to produce those documents for board review.

The board did not set a public hearing date in the minutes for the proposed recycling ordinance changes; follow-up at a future meeting or via committee work is implied but not recorded.
