<br />5. Discussion of and possible action on recommending revisions to existing <br />ordinances and/or polices as follows: <br /> <br />A. Procedures for brush pickup. Shawn Napier handed out procedures <br />and went through the policy. Motion was made by Pete Kampfer, <br />seconded by Marilyn Bellevance, to approve the policy revisions. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Shawn Napier reported that they are changing the compost hours and <br />went over the related memo. Chairman Wilson stated he has a problem <br />with changing hours during the various seasons. When people get <br />used to it, it's hard to change. Shawn Napier stated brush truck runs <br />on Wednesday, so they need it open at the end of the week. Motion <br />was made by Charles Richards, seconded by Oscar Johnson, to <br />approve the following new hours: all day Wednesday, Thursday, and <br />Friday and Saturday from 10am to 2pm year around, with hours to be <br />posted at the site. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />B. Rules and procedures for trash placement and pickup. Shawn Napier <br />went through ordinance changes, stating that they tried to make them <br />mirror the policy. Chairman Wilson asked what difference does it make <br />if they don't call it in. Shawn Napier stated the crew may not go down <br />every street. Edwayne Samis stated it gives people opportunity to <br />request a price and haul it to the landfill if they think it's too much. <br />There was a general consensus to double the entire fee for non-called- <br />in items. Chairman Wilson recommended that we be lenient until the <br />policy was in place a little while. Oscar Johnson suggested they run a <br />series of articles. <br /> <br />C. Policy for picking up trash at locations with no water account or bulk <br />items for which pickup has not been requested. Shawn Napier stated <br />that we generally pick up these items or turn them over to Code <br />Enforcement, so we need to do a combination of all. Chairman Wilson <br />stated that the staff should work this out. Shawn Napier stated that the <br />make-up of the trash will determine what we do. Kent Mcllyar stated it <br />also depends on where it is sitting. If it's not in the right-of-way, we <br />have to follow due process. Chairman Wilson asked if sanitation called <br />Code Enforcement. Edwayne Samis stated no they don't, but they can <br />have that part of what they do now. <br /> <br />6. Request items for future agendas. Steve Brown asked to look at camper <br />trailers parked in the yards and semi-trailers parked in residential areas. <br />Chairman Wilson stated that we need to look first at outdoor storage because <br />it's rampant and it makes the town look bad. He asked staff to take photos, <br />look at what ordinances can be changed, and look at what items can't be in <br />front yard. He also asked for a report from the Education Committee. <br /> <br />7. The meeting adjourned at 6:55 pm. <br /> <br />APPROVED THIS 16TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2007. <br /> <br />Don Wilson, Chairman <br />
