Julian Czarny brought up the hazardous waste day and how the time was shortened. He asked the Board to ask the company (NCES) to have 2 days, one in the spring and one in the fall for collection and have them be for 4 hours each day. Julian said the company was given 10 acres of land in the settlement and doesn’t want to feel nickeled and dimed by them. Julian also asked if there were quantitative and qualitative standards in the contract for trash pickup. Kevin Roy said the Hazardous Waste Collection day was not part of the agreement but he felt it was necessary to provide it. Kevin also said the reduction of time was suggested for this population. Kevin said 1 day a year is what all the other towns do. Cheryl Jensen asked if most towns do it this early in the year. Kevin said yes, that it is usually around spring cleaning time. Kevin said they can take a survey about preference on time of year.
Peter Roy asked about the flag being illuminated. He was told 2 companies have come to look at it to give us quotes and we are just waiting for the quotes.
