RUBBISH COLLECTION POLICY HEARING:
Concerned citizens from Village Green West were present to ask about the
proposed rubbish collection policy. Russell Vaughn stated that, as a.t~ax
payer, he and others at Village Green West were entitled to Town servzces
like all other taxpayers. He feels that they are being discriminated
against. Ail 72 units are side by side and he cannot see why they are ex-
cluded. Susan Jenkins asked what percentage goes on ~heir tax rate for
trash pickup and why was the cut off line set at 9 units. They w~re~ad-
vised that the rubbish collection by-law will be voted'on at Town Meeting,
that it will set the ground rules for further pick-ups, that the current
situation whereby the Town is running out of land fill with an uncertain
future necessitated a by-law, that the situation at the Village Green. West
was not why the by-law was drawn up. It was noted that, after perusing
the surveys of various towns and cities submitted by Brian Sullivan, North
Andover's policy was better than most. Bud Cyr stated that rubbish collec-
tions were included in ~he buying fee of the condiminiums and therefore
should be taken care of, and were not the responsibility of the Town.
