Recreation Committee Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the Manager’s appointment of Richard L. Neumeier to Recreation Committee to fill the unexpired term of Paul Keane to expire April 1999. Solid Waste Action Team (SWAT) Mrs. Krieger stated that the Solid Waste Action Team has been meeting informally since the first of the year. They are a group of citizens who came together largely because they are concerned about the environmental impact of the NESWC incinerator. They have broadened the scope of their interest and are very interested in looking at alternative ways to manage solid waste, to help the town prepare for renegotiations with NESWC, and to encourage the Town to embark on additional recycling programs. We are very fortunate to have such a well-informed, well- intentioned group of people who are willing to devote their time to helping the Town establish policy in regard to the disposal of waste. They intend to continue to look at the issues, to develop ways of encouraging recycling, and to report back to the Town on or about the time of Town Meeting. Mrs. Krieger recommends that the Board recognize the Solid Waste Advisory Team and appoint the members. Mrs. Krieger believes the charge should be updated because the scope of what the Committee intends to work on is slightly different than what the former Waste Management Committee was. She requested that the Board accept the charge and the membership. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to establish the Solid Waste Action Team, to approve the charge as presented, and appoint the committee as follows: John Andrews, Jeanne Binstock, Dianne Carr, Laura Dickerson, Elizabeth Brosens, Eileen Entin, John Fedorochko, Katherine Fisher, Katherine Fricker, Rosemary Green, Myla Kabat-Zinn, Fran Ludwig, Jill Stein, Chairman; George Woodbury, Principal Staff Advisor; Jeanne Krieger, Selectmen Liaison; Al Levine, Appropriations Liaison; Jay Kaufman, State Liaison; Beverly Anderson, Health Issues.
