MINUTES February 4, 1999 5 BOARD OF HEALTH "There are a lot of overhead and insurance costs that cannot be divided that way." "Secondly, my comment about illegal dumping." "Over the past 5 years, I have issued approximately 30 citations." "Out of those, 20 were to people from out of town, i.e., Sandwich, Marston's Mills, etc., and probably because in Sandwich you have to pay to get rid of refrigerators but we don't charge anything." "I don't think illegal dumping will increase if the sticker costs goes from $35 to $50, $60." Mr. Doherty stated, "I would not disagree with you if the increase were moderate, $50, but if it's $100, you get into a shock issue." "We have kept it low to try and make it easy as possible for people to use the transfer station and get rid of stuff the right way." Mr. Ball stated, "It really would not be unreasonable to raise the sticker price up to $50." Mr. Leveille noted, "I would be glad to take these issues to the Board of Selectmen and ask them.if they would like, in conjunction with the Board of Health, to set up a committee." Mr. Leveille and Mr. Whritenour stepped down from the meeting at 7:45 p.m. APPOINTMENT: Terry Bauer- Green Seal Environmental Mr. Terry Bauer was in attendance for this scheduled appointment. Mr. Bauer states, "I appreciate this time to speak to all of you about my company first and then about some of your solid waste issues." "Before I get started, my partner sits on the Conservation Commissions across the hall." "If there were any impropriety issues that come up because of that I would like to nip them in the bud right now." Mr. Doherty stated, "I don't think so, no because he has no influence on us and essentially he does not stand to gain or loose anything by our decisions." Mr. Bauer stated, "I sit on the Conservation Commissions at Harwich and any suggestion of that is enough to raise eyebrows." "I wanted to bring it up before I began." Mr. Doherty acknowledged he appreciated that. Mr. Bauer states, "I put together an organizational comparison for the Board to look at explaining Green Seal, our company." Mr. Ball interjected, "I will have to step down because I work for Conservation and that's a conflict if I have to vote on a decision."
