Tom Murphy asked how Committee <br /> recommendations to be presented to the Board of Selectmen. Tom O'Hara said he will take the <br /> information to the Board of Selectmen. <br /> Rodngy Collins <br /> • Has concerns of costs of transfer station long-ten n. He said it is going to have to be <br /> addressed. <br /> • Chief Collins said everybody here brought something to the table. Recommendations are <br /> constructive and in good faith. The hope is that in moving forward we do a little better. <br /> He said 5 bag limitation is something and overall something is better than nothing. <br /> • Chief Collins and Board of Selectmen Chairman visited the transfer station and saw a <br /> non-Mashpee commercial vehicle access the transfer station with a residential sticker. <br /> He said that does raise a red flag. <br /> KalliopeEloff–In Kalliope's absence from this meeting, Tom O'Hara noted the <br /> recommendations Kalliope made at the last meeting regarding offering more education on <br /> recycling;recommending PAYT;transfer station to be an enterprise fund operation;reduce solid <br /> waste load; and that she did not agree on cameras since that was not part of the goals. <br /> Chief Collins pointed out for operational purposes with regard to the cameras that does not <br /> prohibit the administration from doing what is necessary for purposes of complying with auditing <br /> recommendations for cameras at the booth,which has nothing to do with this Committee. The <br /> Committee agreed. <br /> Catherine Laurent–Supports PAYT; supports Enterprise fund system. <br /> Wayne BevAcqua–Recommends the 5-40 gallon bag limitation that was already approved by <br /> this Committee for submission to the Selectmen. <br /> Tom O'Hara–As suggested at last meeting,the transfer station should have big,block letter <br /> signage to point out recyclables------for example, bottles; paper;cardboard. <br /> Motions on Recommendations to be Submitted to Board of Selectmen <br /> Low-Income Sticker <br /> Motion: Tom O'Hara motioned to establish a low-income transfer station sticker with cost to be <br /> set by the Board of Selectmen. Glenn Santos seconded this motion. <br /> Discussion: Catherine Laurent clarified that the sticker price for rest of the population would <br /> have to go up to subsidize the low-income sticker. The Committee agreed,but said it would be <br /> up to the Board of Selectmen to decide—the Committee is just making the recommendation and <br /> it would be up to Board of Selectmen whether to proceed and, if so, amount of reduction. <br /> VOTE: 8-Yes.
