Selectboard Meeting Notes – Solid Waste and Substations: A Million Here, A Million There
It is the second Selectboard meeting of October, and more potential tax increases were considered. The cost of trash, recycling and compost will be going up substantially to cover the costs of the new automated robot arm collection system. The Town says it isn’t that the new system is expensive, it is that the old system was way too cheap. Hints that the costs will skyrocket more after signing on were given.
The board discussed a million dollar plus plan to put a police substation, four public bathrooms, a community room, and new parking system offices at the Transportation Center. They also heard from members of the public saying these costs were too much.
The board’s “Review of Debt Management Guidelines” was postponed to another meeting.s
