LEXPRESS ($155,000) CMARC ($5, and Hazardous Waste <br />Collection Contract ($2,500) were reviewed. The Town Manager recommended <br />support of these requests. <br />Mr. McLaughlin, noting that this will be the second consecutive year <br />for collection of hazardous waste, suggested that this project be under- <br />taken on a bi- annual basis, rather than yearly. <br />Regarding 5% wage increase in the School Budget, Mr. Hutchinson noted <br />that this would represent an increase of almost 11% per student. <br />The Sewer Use Charge as proposed by the Manager to offset increased <br />MDC charges expected was discussed, <br />Mrs. Baton said she was not opposed to such a charge as a matter of <br />principal, but would prefer to make decision after addressing all budget <br />issues and seeing if its defeat would mean cutting wanted items. <br />Mr. MdLaughl in said he would also be willing to wait, but if large <br />MDC charges are to be expected in the future, he would prefer to start the <br />user fee before that time at a lower rate and increase it gradually. <br />Consensus was reached not to support institution of a sewer use charge <br />this year unless the revenue picture demands it. <br />Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn at 12:55 <br />p.m. <br />A true record, Attest: <br />0 �. <br />Mir ion H.
