The Planning Board called its meeting to order and voted by roll call vote to go into executive session and will be returning to jointly appoint a Planning Board member. Public Comments Paul Hamburger reported that the Appropriation Committee voted 7 -1 that the Town not go to weekly recycling outside of the context of a regular Town Meeting. The Committee feels there should be no change to the program, particularly the cost of the program, that more experience should be gathered, and new expenditures should be considered as part of the entire budget. Tree Committee Appointments Board members were given a list of possible candidates for the Tree Committee. Mrs. Krieger asked the Board to look over the names and make any suggestions they wish for appointment at the October 15 meeting. Order of Taking — Harrington Driveway— Lowell Street Mr. Cohen explained the reasons for action taken at the Spring 2001 Town Meeting to authorize the Selectmen to take a piece of property on Lowell Street by eminent domain for street purposes to provide an entrance to the Harrington School from Lowell Street. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to sign an order of taking on a parcel of land shown as Lot A on a plan recorded in the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds, Book 7800, Page 27. Pay As You Throw Update Solid Waste/PAYT Coordinator Robert Beaudoin updated the Board with statistical information on the success of the recycling program and consequently reduced statistics on solid waste disposal.
