Mr. Jack disclosed that Falmouth had a contract with Cavossa Disposal Corporation but Board Members were in agreement that there was no need for recusal. Mr, Barrett added that Bourne worked with both Cavossa and Recycling Solutions. Discussion and Ranking of Proposals Saltine Warrior -Board and Review Committee members shared their rankings for Saltine Warrior. Mr. Barrett inquired about Saltine Warrior serving as a subcontractor, partnering with another proposer to share the site. The Chair responded that the other candidates' proposals suggested they would work with subcontractors, but not under their umbrella. There was discussion regarding the benefits of having salt available locally. It was noted that rail use would be critical. There was agreement that joint use of the site by Saltine Warrior would be best if serving as a subcontractor under another proposer. Mr. Scipione suggested to first rank the other proposers because if Saltine Warriors offered a high value to the community, it may be possible to develop a process and consider separate agreements if there was an unwillingness to work as a subcontractor. Mr. Tilton stated his preference that one agreement be in place. Recycling Solutions, LLC -Board and Review Committee members shared their rankings and agreed that there was limited clarity regarding Recycling Solutions' proposal. All were in agreement that the company had a lot of experience. It seemed that Recycling Solutions was offering a much larger operation, with increased truck traffic. Concern was expressed regarding possible propane storage and distribution. It was felt that the proposal reflected a reliance on residuals. There was discussion regarding the need for permit changes and the process of doing so.
