Vogler S augus Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano has scheduled a meeting for Sept. 20 to begin discussions on WIN Waste Innovations’ proposed deal to pay the town up to $18 million in return for permission to extend the life of its ash landfi ll 25 years. But the board’s Vice Chair, Debra Panetta, said she and her colleagues should wait until after a community meeting with Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) offi cials about the future of the ash landfill before considering WIN’s proposed Host Community Agreement (HCA). “We should wait for the Sept. 28 meeting so we can make an informed vote,” Panetta told The Saugus Advocate this week after Cogliano denied her request. “I feel strongly that it would be imperative and prudent that before taking on any vote that we listen to what the DEP says. I think we should wait until the fi rst meeting in October [Oct. 4] before discussing the Host Community Agreement,” she said. Cogliano said he has no plans for rescheduling the Sept. 20 meeting. “I’m not waiting for anyone,” Cogliano said, in response to Panetta’s request. “I’m the Chairman – not Deb. I’ll set the time and the agenda for our meetings and I will always do what’s in the best interest of Saugus,” he said. “If the DEP has a problem with plan A, I will be happy to deliver them plan B.” MEETING DATES | SEE PAGE 2 Collaborating for Saugus: Left to right: new Saugus Youth & Recreation Department Director Crystal Cakounes and Saugus Senior Center Director Laurie Davis are thrilled about their recent promotions.
