Staff have received calls from family members <br />of former residents who wish to be buried at Westview Cemetery, but according to current <br />regulations these requests are not allowed. The recommended changes would allow former <br />residents who lived in Lexington for a period of 20 or more years to purchase a burial site at <br />Westview Cemetery. <br /> <br />Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the recommended changes to <br />Section IV Conveyances (page 6), and Section XII Enforcement of Rules (page 15) of the Rules <br />and Regulations of the Westview Cemetery. <br /> <br />Discuss Trash and Recycling Collection Task Force Charge <br /> <br />Mr. Hadley, Director of Public Works, explained that the current three-year solid waste contract <br />with 2 one-year extensions terminates on June 30, 2012. Before the next Request for Proposals <br />for a new Solid Waste Contract is developed, many options need to be reviewed. A Trash and <br />Recycling Contract Task Force should consider the following: <br /> <br /> <br />1.Single-stream recycling collection (i.e. paper and containers combined) <br /> <br />2.Multi-town (regional) collection bid <br /> <br />3.Automated refuse and recycling collection system using toters <br /> <br />4.Additional curbside yard waste collection days <br /> <br />5.Enhanced waste ban and mandatory recycling enforcement <br /> <br />6.Staying with the current system and re-negotiating with the current vendor <br /> <br /> <br />
