Mr. Mullen suggested continuing with the reading process. And address and Tom Gallucci -there is no "d" in refrigerator. He asked if there was a plan for mattresses. Ken Pacheco said he was okay with the 40, because that was what it was going to cost the town. and that was decreased from the initial 90 dollars that was proposed. Selectman Caron said it is cheaper than some of the surrounding towns. 4 Chairman Hull read the proposed fees increases into the record. Selectman Caron said the fees were not picked out of thin air. There was research done and these fees have not increased in ten years. Chairman Hull said running a transfer station is getting more and more expensive.

Selectman Caron said it gave the attendant the discretion to determine the fee for homemade vehicles that may have side boards.
