For Discussion:
Should Class 2 e-bikes be allowed on all Town recreational trails? Some municipalities limit Class 2 bikes because of throttle operation, even though state law allows local regulation.
Should Class 3 e-bikes be prohibited from all Town-owned trails? This is common practice because Class 3 bikes can assist up to 28 mph.
Should Litchfield establish a lower speed limit (10–15 mph) on shared-use paths?
Should conservation lands remain closed to all e-bikes unless specifically opened by the Conservation Commission and Board of Selectmen?
Should the ordinance include an administrative process allowing the Board to designate additional trails as open or closed by vote without amending the ordinance? This provides flexibility as recreational infrastructure evolves.
Do we want to specify that no motorized vehicles (dirtbikes, golf carts, etc.) are allowed? Should we exempt Town vehicles in the performance of Town duties? Highway vehicles are on the path regularly (rightfully so).
Should the Board consider an Ordinance to allow Town owned and/or public safety OHRVs to travel on roads in Town? RSA 215A:15 gives the Town authority to do so.

The revised proposal reduces the Town's projected annual contract cost by approximately $35,314 (11.3%) compared with the original proposal. Most of the savings come from reductions to the MSW disposal rate, followed by reductions in C&D disposal and MSW hauling. C&D hauling remained unchanged.
Even after negotiations, the revised proposal is estimated to increase annual costs by approximately $22,521.50 (8.9%) over the current contract.
It is a 5 year contract with 9% escalation each year.

Town Administrator's Report
Mosquito update - from Gary Jensen Jr, ;Swamp Inc & Municipal Pest Management Services : This week the state identified a positive pool for West Nile Virus (WNV) in Nashua from a pool of Culex pipiens. Although this virus is a concern in the surveillance program he spoke directly with the state about the situation. As of now Nashua has been raised to Low-level risk and there is currently no major concern for the town of Litchfield. We are still seeing extremely low numbers due to the very dry conditions throughout the southern part of the state and minimal Culex species are being captured in our traps.
