Select Board agrees to accept recycling donation from 4th Corner Foundation instead of multiple punch cards
Summary
After a presentation from nonprofit operator Kate Fellows, the board approved a one-time annual donation from 4th Corner Foundation to cover recycling punch cards, amended to apply to recycling only; staff will work out implementation details with the transfer-station attendant.
Kate Fellows, who identified herself as an operator for a small Windham-area nonprofit, told the board her artist residency program uses the town transfer station but struggles with acquiring and managing punch cards for transient residents. "We run artist residency programs, so we have folks who live on-site who are here for extended periods," Fellows said, explaining that cards get lost or shared and that an annual sticker or pass would be more practical.
Board members discussed options including a branded annual sticker or a pass tracked by the transfer-station attendant (John Hurd). One member noted the town already issues waivers to nonprofits in some cases. The board moved to approve a one-time annual donation by 4th Corner Foundation in lieu of punch cards and amended the motion to specify recycling only; details were referred to staff to implement and monitor usage. The motion passed by voice vote.
