M. in the Town Office Building, 555 Dorset Street. The meeting was called to order by Chairman, Vincent J. D'Acuti. MEMBERS PRESENT Vincent J. D'Acuti, Chairman; Robert K. Ashley, Ralph B. Goodrich, Augustus T. Stannard, and Stephen M. Whittlesey. OTHERS PRESENT Irving L. Douglas, Town Manager LAND FILL AREA The Town Manager submitted quotations of prices for a loader for the land fill area. The Chairman of the Board, Mr. D'Acuti, reviewed the quotations and asked the Town Manager if the Town Highway Department loader could be used in conjunction with the highway use. He also wanted to know if it would be possible to use the town loader at the land fill area and rent one for the highway department's needs. The Town Manager explained that it would not be practical or economical to try to combine the 2 jobs with the one piece of equipment nor would it be feasible to depend on rental equipment when the Highway Department would need it. He felt that a loader would seldom be available for rent when the Highway Department would need it and also stated that the department's loader was in use nearly every day. The Town Manager also said that there was a new type loader available in the $10,000.00 price bracket that had a capacity of one yard. This particular loader is manufactured by the International Harvester Company, has a two wheel drive and is rated in between the farm type and commercial vehicle. The Town Manager did not believe that it was heavy enough for use at the Land Fill Area. The chairman of the Board requested that the Town Manager further investigate the lower priced loader and asked that Mr. Ladd, Highway Superintendent, be asked to be present at the September 14, 1965 meeting to answers questions and make recommendations in this matter. RESOLUTION FOR ACCEPTANCE OF FEDERAL GRANT The resolution for acceptance was tabled until the September 10, 1965 meeting upon recommendation of the Town Attorney. WEBSTER-MARTIN INC. CONTRACT The Webster-Martin contract for completion and supervision of Phase 1 and 2 for the Sewer System was discussed, and the Town Manager told the Board of Selectmen that he and Mr. Doherty had not been able to get together for further clarification of the cost. Mr. Mikell, Town Attorney informed the Board that a corrected contract would be completed as soon as the Town Manager and Mr. Doherty had their meeting. The Chairman of the Board, Mr. D'Acuti, asked that corrections as made in the contract be noted in the minutes of the Selectmen's meetings. ZONING CHANGE - FIRST READING The Board of Selectmen suggested that the area in question should all be changed to Residential B and not Planned Area.
