The Board received a letter from a Wilton Resident asking the Board to consider the intersections of Burns Hill Road, Isaac Frye Highway and Wilton Center Road.  Chairman Donovan stated that he is concerned with these intersections also and would ask that the Board consider changing two yield signs to stop signs.  The Board agreed and a public hearing will be set up to hear comments from the public on the change.

The Board discussed a letter from DES concerning the removal of the top two portions of the incinerator stack.  The Department of Environmental Services stated that the Recycling Center is not in compliance with their operating permit as a result of these top sections being removed.  DES informed the Board that in order to continue to burn in the incinerator, these two stacks have to be replaced.  After discussion of the alternatives, the Board instructed Maurice to stop burning and have the waste material hauled away.  A letter will be sent DES stating that the incinerator has been used and has been disabled.  Plans for it’s decommission are in the works.  Maurice will be asked to disconnect the fuel line and have it capped.

The meeting was adjourned on a motion at 8:45 PM with all in favor.
