Work session actions: escrow fee increase accepted; commercial recycling ended; meeting adjourned
Summary
During the April 7 work session council accepted the Planning Board recommendation to double tax-map escrow fees, voted to end municipal commercial recycling pickup for businesses (90-day notice), took a straw poll to reallocate capital funding away from a new fire truck, and adjourned at 6:54 p.m.
Council recorded several formal and informal actions during the work session. Members accepted the Planning Board recommendation to double escrow fees for tax map revisions and directed Solicitor Facenda to draft ordinance language. Council also agreed to end municipal commercial recycling pickup for businesses and provide 90 days' notice to affected entities. The council took a nonbinding straw poll to defer a planned fire truck purchase and reallocate funds to roads and sewer; all members present except Councilwoman Carfagno supported that direction. The meeting adjourned at 6:54 p.m. on a unanimous motion of those present.
These outcomes will require further staff work: the solicitor will draft ordinance language for the fee change, finance will update the budget appendix and consult bond counsel regarding capital changes, and public works will coordinate the commercial recycling transition and notices.
