extracted. It was confirmed that the rail within the 18+ acres was owned by the ANG and would not be part of the improvements. There was discussion regarding the rail and the development of a cooperative agreement with the Commonwealth to allow MassDOT and MassCoastal to improve the railway. Mr. Segura added that the Falmouth line to the UCRTS was currently controlled by the Air Force. The Chair noted that the UCRTS was responsible for the rail accessing the building. Mr. Barrett noted that Mass Development had expressed a strong interest in controlling the land not associated with the fixtures and inquired about the implications depending upon the ownership of the land. Mr. Jack and Colonel Doonan agreed that it seemed that if a compatible use was identified, Mass Development would agree to it. Colonel Doonan emphasized that the land would not be developed for commercial purposes, other than government. Mr. Scipione pointed out that the entire site would be considered for the best interests of all the parties and should there be a transfer in 3-5 year, may need to be reassessed. Mr. Richard referenced a site walk and the possibility of access in the future and the Chair responded that the site was open except for the building. The consultants were advised to notify the Chair should they plan to visit the site. Mr. Segura noted that the property lines were not delineated. It was determined that Weston& Sampson would address the Chair in communications but copy all on the Board. There was further clarification of plans for a workshop and Ms. Rooney responded that it would be a public meeting following the draft report with an invitation for interested parties to attend. The Chair stated that the meeting could occur at a regularly scheduled UCRTS meeting with the published agenda. Mr. Pulitzer inquired about a cost basis for the facility and capital expenses over the last 5 years. Mr. Jack responded that the facility was constructed in the 80s and capital expenses included the building, loader and scale. All reuse considerations occurred informally and the Chair suggested reviewing previous meeting minutes. Mr. Tilton inquired, based on permitting or feasibility, whether the consultants saw any definitive non uses and Mr. Scipione responded that he saw nothing to take off the table from the RFP but did see some which offered better opportunities. Ms. Rooney noted that the Cape Cod Commission website could provide additional information regarding JLUS and the history of the Base and process. Five copies of the contract with Weston& Sampson were signed by Board members and the representatives from Weston& Sampson.
