Recycling Committee <br /> November 17,2011 Minutes <br /> Members Present: .lune Levy, Sheldon Gilbert, Marion Baker <br /> Others: Jon Leavitt <br /> Catherine Laurent, DPW <br /> A quorum being present, the meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m.. <br /> PAYT Discussion <br /> The Committee reviewed Shelly's outline for a presentation for community/interest groups. The goal <br /> of the presentation would be to garner support for PAYT. A presentation would be made at a later <br /> date. In paragraph I of the presentation, it should be clarified that"spent"means the amount of the <br /> Transfer Station budget subsidized by taxpayers. The total amount subsidized by taxpayers since the <br /> opening of the Transfer Station in 1987 might be worth calculating. Also, the disposal fee paid at <br /> SEMASS or an alternate site is expected to double or triple, not the entire budget. In paragraph 2a, the <br /> exact number of households using curbside is not Known, but it is less than 50%. For both 2a and 2b, it <br /> should be emphasized that these households pay 100% of trash disposal costs as compared to <br /> households using option 2c who pay only 40-45% of costs. This percentage will be confirmed. Under <br /> paragraph 5, the order for the implementation steps should be: 1 —authorization; 2 —program basics; 3 <br /> —request for bids; 4 —program development/finalization; 5 —facility layout and staffing; 6— <br /> grant/technical assistance. <br /> The Committee scheduled another meeting for December 14`x' at 3:30 pm. <br /> The meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.. <br /> Respectively submitted, <br /> Catherine La rent <br />
