Maynard Solid Waste and Recycling Program Nears Launch with Strong Resident Sign-ups
The town is implementing a new solid waste and recycling program, aiming for a 4300-household customer base. As of the meeting, approximately 3000 customers (including condo complexes) had signed up, showing significant success driven by mailers and flyers. Information sessions are shifting focus to registration assistance as the July 1st launch approaches. Cart deliveries will begin the week of July 1st, with stickers to be applied by residents. The program continues to emphasize PR and marketing efforts, with social media showing less success.
Maynard Police Department to Implement Body-Worn Cameras Following Contract Approval
The Select Board approved a contract with Axon for the purchase and implementation of body-worn cameras for the Maynard Police Department, amounting to $121,200. This contract, typically a five-year program, aligns with the town meeting's approval of funding to supplement a state grant. The town also approved a separate contract with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security for $70,011.59 related to the body-worn camera program, likely encompassing grant funds. The goal is to have the program operational by August 1st, 2026.
Maynard Historical Commission Seeks Participation for July 4th Bell Ringing Celebration
The Maynard Historical Commission proposed a letter to churches and organizations with bells, inviting them to participate in ringing their bells on July 4th, 2026, at 2:50 p.m. Eastern Time, to celebrate America's semi-quincentennial. Two churches, Ascension Parish and St. Bridges, have already agreed to participate. The mill is also considering whether it's physically possible to ring their bell at the designated time. The Select Board was asked to be a signatory on the letter.
Maynard Weighs 'Wait and See' Approach on Social Marijuana Consumption
The board discussed the opt-in process for allowing social consumption of marijuana within Maynard, as permitted by new state law. While no immediate action was taken, the board leaned towards a 'wait and see' approach, citing potential regulatory challenges such as identifying impairment, managing noise and odor, and the need for potential bylaw amendments. Concerns were also raised about how such establishments would be licensed and regulated, with the consensus being to address specific proposals if and when they arise.
Maynard Updates Water Rules and Regulations to Enhance System Protection
The town is updating its water rules and regulations to align with federal and state policies, particularly concerning backflow prevention devices, following a recent sanitary survey. The current rules and regulations were found to be outdated and not holistically aligned with current state requirements. The proposed revisions aim to strengthen enforcement and protect the water system from contamination. The board received a 70-page draft and will review it, with a follow-up discussion anticipated at the end of July.
