Staff: administrative code update removes school budget from town code and creates hauling‑permit authority
Summary
Staff told the joint hearing that Chapter 2 would be updated to remove the school budget process from town code, align the chart of accounts with Trio software and clarify department responsibility; Chapter 18 would create permits and annual fees for commercial haulers.
Town staff reviewed administrative updates proposed to Chapter 2 and Chapter 18 during the joint public hearing.
On Chapter 2, staff said the primary change is removing outdated school‑budget language from the municipal code and updating calendar dates to match current practice (the town’s annual meeting and secret‑ballot schedule). Staff also noted an alignment of the chart of accounts on page 206 to match the town’s Trio financial system.
Chapter 18 (transfer station and hauling) would establish a permit for commercial haulers and give the board authority to set annual hauling fees during the town’s fee‑setting process, recommended for January each year. Staff said applicants would submit a permit application and the ordinance sets out the permit requirements that differ from existing practice.
These administrative and housekeeping amendments were moved to the November warrant as separate questions; staff recommended additional review and publication of the updated warrant language for voter information.
