Commissioners agreed that a proposed soil-testing framework was an excellent starting point and assigned Kara Marshall to develop specific recommendations for the town. The discussion also identified composting as a potential way to reduce landfill waste and tipping costs, which can reach $150 per ton; food scraps make up about 20% of refuse and compostable paper about 10%.

The commission did not adopt a final farm lease or composting policy, but it directed members to develop recommendations and gather more information. Proposed soil testing would occur annually for two years, then every other year, with sampling coordinated with lessees. Members will also investigate central compost collection sites and recommend native, pollinator-friendly plantings for the Broadleaf Solar property.
