HARTFORD — Selectmen tabled a discussion Thursday night on whether to move the waste transfer station on Marble Road to the sand/salt shed site on Gurney Hill Road.

The plan was submitted by the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments because the station is inaccessible to cars; only dump trucks can get there.

Selectman Jack Plumley said he was not happy with the plan because it was too costly.

Moving the station would not change the town’s curbside pickup, Chairman Lee Holman said.

Town Clerk Lianne Bedard suggested having contractors look at the feasibility of moving the station.

The sand/salt shed site has 4.2 acres, but much of it is in wetlands.

The board tabled the discussion until more information is gathered.

“It will cost tax dollars if the town is willing to go forward,” Holman said.

A resident has requested that the town put gravel on a section of Gurney Hill Road past the cemetery to make it passable in the spring.

Holman said she would like to see if the road commissioner has enough money in his budget for the work.

Plumley cautioned the board that there are other closed roads that might expect the same consideration.

Holman said Gurney Hill Road had been closed only to winter maintenance. Plumley will find out if the road has had any work done on it in the past 20 years.

The board is still looking for people to take over the newsletter when the current editor publishes the last one in May. Holman said the newsletter reaches all of the residents and many do not have Internet connections to find out town news and events.

The board accepted, with regret, a letter of resignation from Tom Hamilton on the Planning Board.

Selectmen said people are needed to serve on many town boards.
