Paul Fouliard informed the Selectmen that he has been waiving fees for those who sustained damage from the flooding. The Selectmen recommended setting a time limit. The Selectmen met with Paul regarding hazardous waste. Paul contacted Clean Harbor and received a quote in the amount of $4,085.00 to dispose all hazardous material including the roofing tar. Another quote was received from United Oil Recovery in the amount of $7,569.00. Selectman Eigabroadt made the motion to accept the estimate submitted by Clean Harbor in the amount of $4,085.00. Selectman Cook seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed. Selectman Cook made the motion to initiate a $5.00 fee on all gas powered equipment and a $5.00 fee for sinks and toilets. Selectman Eigabroadt seconded the motion. Selectman Cook amended the motion to begin on July 1. Selectman Eigabroadt seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed. The Selectmen discussed different process solutions regarding household hazardous waste, either collect it on a regular basis or hold an annual collection day. A program needs to be established and filed with Department of Environmental Services. Selectman Eigabroadt recommended a discussion with area Selectmen on how those towns handle household hazardous material at the next Joint Board Meeting. Martha Mical recommended that the residents complete a list of material that they are disposing, and then the attendant can verify the items. The TA referenced a class that she attended where it was learned that material leaving the Transfer Station needs to be logged out. Selectman Cook recommends receiving and logging household material once a month. Chairman Hartman recommends that the attendant receiving the material should be trained to a level so that he would be able to reject material that is unidentifiable, along with suggesting disposal facilities that can dispose of the material. Chairman Hartman recommends a work session to build a program that will fit Warner. The TA recommends that given the training that would be needed to be able to identify various hazardous wastes, the Town should not accept hazardous waste until policy and training is in place. When completed collection could take place once a month or on a quarterly basis. Selectman Eigabroadt recommends that the Selectmen move forward as outlined by the TA. The Board agreed to a once a month collection. A work session will be scheduled.

Ken Klinedinst met with the Selectmen and discussed the length of time it takes for meeting minutes to be approved. Ken recommended consistency in regards to the correction of meeting minutes within the approval. Ken asked the Selectmen if building permits require a vote of approval.

Ken also suggested that when the Selectmen enter a non-public session that the qualifying event is spelled out in the motion (i.e. Personnel, hiring an employee etc.). Chairman Hartman agrees that the Selectmen should begin identifying the intent of the non-public session other than the RSA.
