<br /> TOWN OF MASHPEE , BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING , AUGUST 19 , 1986
<br /> we want the full media at these meetings , there ' s certainly a
<br /> benefitin not having them there at times , but , in fairness to
<br /> the public to let them know what ' s going on . At the same time
<br /> ::as 4.:: ", :.: we ' re pursuing this thing at the Base , it ' s sort of a
<br /> tangential type of thing off the Solid Waste Task Force , which
<br /> I ' m a member of from the Town . The Task Force has requested
<br /> from the county , and has received an authorization from the
<br /> County Finance Board for up to thirty thousand dollars to hire
<br /> a consultant , to prepare , essentially schematic specifications ,.
<br /> or specification schema s i c p1ans for three separate stations
<br /> that could be applied , one or more of these could be applied
<br /> to the various towns and what we ' d be looking for ,, a mini sta-
<br /> tion , som thing dealing with compaction , and then a an open top
<br /> compaction station . The idea is that , there may be savings i
<br /> equipment to design and savings through compat i b i l i t of rolling
<br /> stock , if on the Cape e did not have fifteen d if Brent en-
<br /> gineers
<br /> n-
<br /> giveers and fifteen differ•ent transfer stations using fifn
<br /> types of equipment ,, maybe this method would narrow it dowry so
<br /> that we use only ten different styles , I don ' t know , but the theo-
<br /> ry behind this and the county Commissioners were supportive ,
<br /> and the Finance Board was supportive so that we can narrow the
<br /> numbers down so that the Mashpee prosective , what this consul ,
<br /> tant would do for us is to provide us with three systems that
<br /> e could adopt . If the Otis thing came along we ' d probably
<br /> look for some sort of a mini station , if you Will , or , we ' d
<br /> look at a compaction , probably have a compaction , I suppose, ,
<br /> with a small ocmpacti on unit compared to say , an opera top , h i.eh
<br /> may be a little mo r inexpensive i.n certain ar^eas , but in any
<br /> event the end product of this study would be that someone would
<br /> come in and look at our site , come up with some recommendations
<br /> that are site p i f i s and also some specifications f .r a fa-
<br /> cility
<br /> a-
<br /> cility that could be (for three different facilities ) that could
<br /> be put in various locations on the cape . There is a draft of a
<br /> request for a proposal that , which would be seeking engineers re-
<br /> sponses ( I ' ve -got five f these and t.h i s is going to be discus-
<br /> sed
<br /> i cus-
<br /> sd by the- Solid Waste Task Force on this Thursday . I think it
<br /> a preliminary type of thing obviously is what happens is once we
<br /> get these preliminary things and' at that stage we would have to
<br /> amke a choice and then some sites for specific types of things .
<br /> It gives us a start , quite frankly it gives us a start ,with ut
<br /> spending a heck of a lot of our own money , so that when we ac-
<br /> tually do spend money a lot of its ' been done .
<br /> FB : We would have to be spending money on site approval and su�
<br /> pervision of its ' construction . Is SEMASS involved in , in , in , is
<br /> the Base involved with SEMASS
<br /> Murphy : SEMASS has made a proposal to the Base , the Base more
<br /> specifically , the Mass . National Guard and National Guard Bureau
<br /> at the Pentagon are reviewing the SEMASS proposal ; we personally
<br /> have not seers that SEMASS proposal , we ' re supposed to get an
<br /> answer back from the National Guard Bureau and the Mass . National
<br /> Guard on Friday on where they stand , at least our understanding is
<br /> they ' re going to respond , Yes let ' s take it one step forward ,, r ,
<br /> e don ' t want this thing on the Base , ' re mov ing in that direc-
<br /> tion .
