Text Box: TOWN COUNCIL NOTES
February 11

	Resident Constance Macy, who has provided townspeople with detailed information about what is suitable for recycling, appeared to convey the importance of following the current recycling rules.  For example, plastic grocery bags, lids, and plastic tubs should not be included.  Hardback books are now accepted.  Mrs. Macy plans to redistribute to the town residents a flyer outlining these requirements.  If you have questions, call her at 301-229-2122...

	Clerk-Treasurer Cathie Polak noted that there are about 40 extra recycling bins behind the town hall.  Residents should take one if they need one.

	Mayor Debbie Beers reported on an email from Councilmember Robin Kogelnik (who was unable to attend the meeting) which stated that she had met with a representative of A. Morton Thomas.  A Morton Thomas plans to do site visits and walk-throughs of the town streets and take core samples for the purpose of determining what will be needed for the street repairs.  A report should be ready for the next town council meeting.  It should be possible to make the repairs this year.

Mayor Beers reported that she has been advised that the county expects to have a storm drain report ready soon.

The town plans to have a town shredding event behind the town hall on Sunday, April 20.
