K. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
reinforce statement on the use of the new trash bins only on and after 7/1/10
L. OLD BUSINESS
M. NEW BUSINESS
Pfeffer - can we have the sewer by law up for review
P. ADJOURN
reinforce statement on the use of the new trash bins only on and after 7/1/10
the bins were purchased with the fees in the solid waste account and not from general operations
Notice last week was an affront per the EPA notifications
it was caught before the water went out into the system
When there is a real problem, the folks may not pay attention as much due to these 'extra' notices
The DPW does a great job on the water, it is a 24x7 operation
Library director (Felicia Oti) did a report it is on the web site
looking at the collaboration
L. OLD BUSINESS
M. NEW BUSINESS
Pfeffer - can we have the sewer by law up for review
Nutting - we really need a policy discussion, have given out in limited quantities before
may see more when the economy picks up, should look at what the council adopted 10 years ago
need to figure out how to handle the issues, it does go to the whole growth issue
you don't want to be chasing new schools
N. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Pfeffer - 4th of July committee looking for money
thanks to the firemen for attending and presenting their opinions
thanks to the DPW for the landscaping work at the fire stations, it looks really good.
Jones - realizing that there are vacancies, there is an opportunity to get involved
P. ADJOURN
motion to adjourn, passed 7-0

J. LEGISLATION FOR ACTION
1. Resolution 10-32: Ad Hoc Recycling Committee
motion to accept, passed 7-0
2. Resolution 10-33: Acceptance of Gift Franklin Library
motion to accept, passed 7-0
3. Resolution 10-34: Acceptance of Gift – Maintenance of Brick School
motion to accept, passed 7-0
The Charter School has been using the building for an annual fee of $1, they are about to make a decision on long term utilization, these funds cover the building expenses in the meantime
4. Resolution: 10-35: Appropriation – Unemployment Trust Fund
motion to accept, passed 7-0
Better to put this in now with this years money knowing at least 18 will need to be covered than have to come up later
5. Resolution 10-36: Consolidation of School Maintenance Function With Town
motion to accept, passed 7-0
a continuation of the program started 2 years ago, now being extended to a five year term
a great success
as a team we have been able to do a better job than individually
6. Bylaw Amendment 10-646: Request for Sewer Map Amendment: Seven Lot Subdivision Off Beech Street at #23 – 2nd Reading
motion to accept, passed 6-1 (Pfeffer no)
All offers have been received in writing and are agreeable
Pfeffer - 7 houses, 3 bedrooms each, too many kids with the house revenue not paying for the school
Vallee - was this section the one we paved before
Yadisernia - this is not the same section, if he only did the cut in, he would have a smaller peice, by replacing the 100 foot, now 200 foot section that is where he will do a full overlay for the width of the street
Mason - I agree with Council Pfeffer on the school issue, especially in light of our trouble getting additional funds for the schools. Due to prior council decisions, as long as the applicant has meet other terms and conditions, these were approved. I think we need to re-look at the by-laws and see if we need to do anything.
7. Bylaw Amendment 10-647:Request for Water Map Amendment: Seven Lot Subdivision Off Beech Street at #23 – 2nd Reading
motion to accept, passed 6-1 (Pfeffer no)
Yadisernia - this adds some valves that we need and add where we can
