-3- Selectmen' Meeting May 14, 1984 Mr. Sacco pointed out. that, last year- question had been raised as to collection of hazardous waste on . a semi - annual basis , Mr. McLaughlin noted that the Health Director sees an increase in amounts collected up to now, and that he would not recommend going to an every other year program for a year - or two. He added that he would not want to have a sense of commitment for an annual collection, but would rather keep it open. Upon motion duly made and-seconded, it was voted to support the re-- quest of the Leagu -e �of Women voters , f or appropriation of $3 , 000, and that the Board will present this request under Article 67 , Regarding the of Understanding on Potter . Pond units, Mr. Hutchinson informed the Board that the developers have signed the revised document as discussed on May 1. He asked that the Board vote to execute the Memorandum, so that it can be presented at the May lb session of Town ..Meet ing . The administrative fee, which remains to be established, will be ne- gotiated with the developers at a -later date. Upon motion duly made and seconded, .it was voted to execute the Memo- randum of Understanding as revised to release Boyd /Smith, developers, from the terms of the original agreement in exchange for a sum of money which will represent the dif ference between. the agreed --upon . price for sale of units at Potter Pond and the net market rate price, less an administrative fee to cover. selling expenses. The Board reviewed the recommendations and cost analysis of the comm- unication system proposed by NYNEX, of Network- Systems Design Corporation, for conversion of the Town telephone system under Article 54. The Town Manager noted that of the four NYNEX ' apt ions outlined, he . concurred with the NSD recommendation that option II be implemented. This option would consist of a Centralized Attendant Service with the centralized switchboard being located in the Town Hall, and would require a small increase in cost in the first year. The second year cost would increase substantially due to the cost of the maintenance contract. This option would have the added benefit of eliminating the manpower . cost of an operation in the Senior High School under the centralized attendant service capabilities. The School Committee will advise the Town Manager within a few days on its position on the proposal. Mr. Hutchinson stated that he would recommend selection of option II, if the School system is in agreement, but if not, he would recommend option III, for a stand -alone communications systems in Town Hall . Mr. Marshall recommended that options for outright buying of the system, rather than leasing, should be explored, and so moved. Mr. McLaughlin said he would have qualms about the purchase unless it was for a joint system with the School Department. Mr. Marshall's motion was amended to include Mr. McLaughlin' s suggestion regarding integration with the School's system. Mrs. Battin said that she would abstain from voting on the issue, since her son in employed by NYNEX. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 4 - o, with Mrs. Battin �• abstaining, that the cost implications of purchase of a centralized Town telephone system, to be integrated with the School Department system, be explored at the meeting on May 160 Potter Pond Memo of Understandini Town Tele- phone System
