Dan April Stewa rt d. Conclusion of Spring Clean-up Period Dan stated that questions have been raised as to why the final dates for GLB usage during spring clean- up were different as between the DPW and commercial landscapers. Under the current proposal, the final date for landscapers is May 22nd whereas the final date for DPW is May 31St Dan noted that he has had many conversations with Dave Pinsonnault of the DPW over the past several years during which Dave made it clear that his crews need until the end of May to complete the required Town Clean-up. Dan also noted that the annual date of May 22nd in the current proposal was expressly designed to ensure that the final date for GLB usage during commercial landscaper clean-ups would fall before the Memorial Day weekend. He stated that the use of May 22nd would ensure this. However,the Committee received questions regarding the different dates. Mark stated that certain Select Board Members would prefer if the dates in the draft Article were the same. Vicki suggested that the wording of the Article be altered to use the words "Memorial Day' instead of a fixed date (May 22nd versus May3lst). Vicki also stated that she was not comfortable with the possibility that GLB usage could take place on Memorial Day weekend. Suzie Barry pointed out that the simpler the Committee can make the Article, the better. After deliberation, the following motion was made: Motion Stewart made a motion to change the wording in the draft Article to make the final Spring clean-up date May3lst, the same for both DPW and commercial landscapers.The motion was seconded by Nick and following a rollcall vote, the motion carried 3-1 on the following basis: In Favor Against Abstain Stewart Vicki Dan Nick April
