i TOWN OF M-{REE, BOARD OF HF *TH 5 MEETING9 DECEMBER , 1986 building f the facility, that's their thinking, Our thinking, 'no way' ,, trey'ire got to pay for the cap ita 1 i zat i on as wel I, they f igure they're g i v i n us the 1 and, we 1 I f i ne but they're o ing to have to core up with a little hit mare on that. Liability, Fairrouth says we think liability should be shared equa 1 ly by a l 1 the parties, I go to Virginia and say '1 ook you've got 5K of it,, we've got 14 of it and you want us to share equally with you, she says, yes, but now the Base shares it equally; not a bad argument but who buys the insurance, the Bae says we're self insured, we don't buy insurance, her argument on the equal liability is she's getting the base in on 25 or B. , h i chever is the case and people may assume the goverment has a deeper packet than the Towns, that may or may not be the caseWe pick up a policy and the Base isn't, well, so I asked her, I think if e do that I think we want saw other agreements rents from the Base, First of a 1 l I think we'll b able to get insurance for a transfer station, surely a transfer station is different than inswing a landfill. If we're going to have to pay insurance ori our part of the policy and the Base isn't then I think the Base has to cage up with something else i.e. when we f i rst to 1 ked I suggested thea bringing in the utilities, the electricity, the.water it turned out, they already had 'em) iro- v i ng the road way, I'm not sure what the road network is going out to that s i to, i rrprov i ng and maintaining the roadway i n. a constant state, truck traffic is i s coo 1 n to tear up the road.. 'I we're going to pick up the insurance costs for our liability then the Base should pick up the maintenance of that roadway, maintain it in a s ti sfact r nd i ti on. . So I think there's some, at least from our position thea are some trade-offs. I. think it's essential that we go public with this pretty soon,, we're in a position where we have to do something pretty darn quick like, we'd like to get the Base ccrrmitted that quick like. At his stage they do not have a contract with SSSS, they're not in the same position, they're going out in the spot market with SEMAS.S, now I think they'll be favorable deal with the spot market and SSSS because SEN6S would rather have this stuff.coming in by rail than by virtually hundreds of trucks. If everybody brings the stuff up there in trucks, I think it's going to one God awful ries [Mr. B. Especially when ,you can't get thea after :00 p nor before 8:00 a.i t will be one hell of a rhe s] All these trucks confined to a very small time period. [Chair: When Charlie told us that this is what they were planning, I envisioned trucks waiting to get in]. I envisioned trucks lined on the mid-cape with people waiting three hours be- hind e- hind them, -we have to look at this from a who 1 e Cape perspe t i ve , we're to a certain extent a 'tourist based' economy, and after spending two and half hours behind some trash truck in July or August day I'm not sure I want to oare bank to the Cape. If this can go forward, obviously thea' is a f i glut here with capitalization, we don't have to build our facility to handle packers, we can have it relatively simple. [Mr. : This LEA is that the group that ah (thought never completed)] Murphy: Yes and this Thursday they're re 1 eas i n the next-phase of their report, unfortunately they told rre about that after I had a l ready scheduled sorrweth i ng for that after n n, and I rade a rrange- ffs is to get copies of that Friday morning, so you'll have a cosy of that Friday morning of that next phase. [Mr, B: Because this first plan they show it seems to nie is all that we would reed, just a pit of hold the trailer arrd a p 1 atforrn for the car's to come in and dunp] Murphy: I think we can down size the facility we build, we'll need a hell of a lot less rolling stock. Given my - druthers I think we should contract and I think we should contract with a couple of the other Towns in that way our guy doesn't have to have backup, everybody's individual contractor doesn't have to have backup ,you can at least consolidate here, that's something that's going to be within your pur- view. ur- ie , Tinea away be a mechanism, we can go out with an inter municipal bid i.e. this is a free town, r it might be county wide, I'm a little more skeptical of County wide. One of the thins that's very inW tantis that when our trash gets to that transfer station, that SSS accepts it right there, because I don't want it to go to the transfer station, than our trash and the Bases's trash and everybody t s trash to get,t that transfer station and then get up t SB*. and SEMSS S say, ' I'd like either a e reject it' haw do know it's our trash or the B ses's or Falmouth's trash; go or a no go when our truck reaches there. When Bay Colony in1ti-a11--,. d the proposal and SSS was i nvo 1 gyred , they had indicated they supported that type of thing, now we'11 sere what apper�s when push comes to shore, we're a long way to fruition [fir. B commented that when the Board was looking at this, they cammted aboLt the amun t. f control the Board would have to have.-on it as we l l, the concern with packers would be if they would be tray i ng'to slip i n part of a load frarn another area] Mr. I r,phy: You see the person at that weigh station, the one doing the weighing,, we wo u 1 d have a public emp l ogee, we'd have that person and obviously there's got to b some trust involved there, there's always a potential of a fraud, we'd have that person as an em- ployee of, the Falmuth Dept of Public Works. There has to be apublic eMloy e there, because you don't want. SMSS deciding which town the trash came from, again we're not going to have someone rt
