Jen advised the committee that she asked Katie Ambrose about the $30.00 a month discrepancy between Sanbornton contract with Casella for “container rental charges” $90.00/mth, and charges received from NRRA $120.00/mth. The charge $120.00  from NRRA is correct. The Transfer Station acquired a fourth “container” back when Kevin Austin was manager. Jen praised the Committee for their comprehensive and professional presentations to BOS. The members present asked the status of the recommendations made on 7/25 and request for access to NRRA Website Password for research purposes. Jen advised the committee that the Board is following a Summer schedule and have yet to discuss SWC recommendations or granting SWC access to the NRRA  Website password. Jen will follow up with Katie Ambrose on this issue and keep SWC informed.

5) Future task ideas- The committee feels gathering data mentioned by BOS at the presentation should be our path moving forward. In order to obtain information to project Sanbornton readiness for Source Separation and baling.SWC needs access to the Town’s NRRA account. SWC research is in a holding pattern until BOS grants SWC  the NRRA password.
