Mr. Jack seconded the motion. All voted <br />unanimously. <br />Negotiation with Cavossa Disposal Corp. <br />Nlr. Cavossa distributed a packet of information to each of the Board members. Mr. Richard <br />confirmed that they had spoken with Cavossa regarding more details about their plans. <br />Mr. Cavossa appreciated being asked back, but pointed out that there may have been confusion <br />regarding the price proposal. Mr. Cavossa, in speaking with his consultant, suggested that the <br />proposal was an "or" not an "and," meaning that the proposal offered a base fee or performance <br />based fee, not both. Mr. Cavossa expressed concern about using a performance based fee and <br />how the scale would be managed, and questions about tonnage. Mr. Cavossa wanted no <br />ambiguity or issues that could be associated with a performance based fee. Mr. Goddard <br />explained how Bourne managed their scale, cross referencing with SEMASS. Chairman Laurent <br />stated that the Board was under the impression that the proposal was a minimum payment and <br />performance fee. The Chair also indicated that she would not be interested in managing the scale <br />and noted that the agreement would detail the process such as with audits or random inspections. <br />Mr. Cavossa stated that he would prefer to negotiate rent, with no performance based fee if the <br />UCRTS, or a third party would not manage the scale. The Chair stated that the price proposal <br />was a starting point for negotiations and that more information was needed about Cavossa's <br />plans. <br />
