A member of the public urged the board to replace failing machinery to prevent potential injury to town employees, stating, "They should not be running unsafe equipment." Chairman Humes responded that the capital non-recurring fund exists for such needs.
The board also discussed operational controls at the transfer station: Chairman Humes suggested installing an arm at the driveway to ensure people stop and display stickers; John Jacquier said that if the loader posed a safety risk it should be taken out of service. The minutes record these safety concerns and the board's related procurement authorizations.
