OLD BUSINESS
NRI Update
The status of the NRI update was discussed briefly. I (CW) took time to further explore the NJ Highlands mapping to see if it fit our needs and concluded that there were significant differences re: scope and needed outside help. The takeaway was that a grant application to ANJEC was appropriate and necessary.
3 Silver Spruce Dumping
3 Silver Spruce dumping was discussed briefly. Guilty on all counts and seeking “assets” to offset costs.

Proposals re single use plastic restrictions and garbage disposal regulations were approved and were forwarded to the town clerk. At this point looking to the state to handle the issues.
