The Chair questioned the benefit of a short-term contract to the haulers, considering the time <br /> needed to prepare the RFB, answer questions and vet it with the towns. Mr. Tilton reiterated his <br /> preference to look into employee assistance for W. Tipton. There was no further discussion. <br /> All voted unanimously. <br /> Update of Tipper Repair <br /> Chairman Laurent reported that the tipper should be operational by the end of the week, but she <br /> would confirm the status with SEMASS and the rail. The Chair noted that there was some issue <br /> for accounting purposes with the rail shutdown, trucking and tonnage. Mr. Goddard indicated <br /> that he had been attempting to acquire a November invoice. The Chair stated that new invoices <br /> were being sent, noting that the rail operated just 3 days in November and that SEMASS would <br /> be sending an invoice for tracking. The Chair will forward the tonnage amount that was <br /> provided for billing purposes. Trucking was anticipated until the end of the week and the Chair <br /> confirmed that since the problem was with the tipper and not the rail, the towns would be <br /> responsible for paying for trucking because the SEMASS contract did not address trucking. The <br /> cost would be slightly higher with trucking compared to rail. <br /> OTHER BUSINESS <br /> Base Utilities <br /> The Chair reported that she had received a call from the Base regarding utilities because <br /> electricity was paid through the base, the costs of which were typically offset by the Base's <br /> contribution for operation. The offset will not be available once the closure was in place. An <br /> agreement regarding electric had been forwarded and included monthly billing for any usage at <br /> the facility beginning January 1. Jt had been requested that the contract be returned by <br /> December 15 and the Chair had it reviewed by Mashpee Town Counsel, who saw no issue with <br /> it. Board members were in agreement that if it had been reviewed by Town Counsel, they were <br /> comfortable with moving forward to sign the agreement. The document was signed by Board <br /> members. <br /> Discussion <br /> UCRTS Shutdown <br /> Mr. Tipton confirmed that fuel in the tank had been utilized and fuel was being used from the <br /> shop truck totaling approximately 60 gallons. Mr. Tilton inquired whether an inspection of the <br /> facility would be necessary for a proper shut down. The Chair will follow up with Mr. Jack to <br /> find out if cost information was available. Mr. Goddard suggested the possible need for <br /> disinfecting the site. Mr. Tipton added that there was also a tank located in the front yard for <br /> waste, which should be pumped, and a propane tank located out back for the generator, which <br /> was approximately half full. Mr. Tipton confirmed that the tank was inspected last year and was <br /> in good shape. Heating the building was electric. Mr. Tipton confirmed that there was a lot of <br /> clean up that should take place. <br /> Future Agenda <br /> Shutdown UCRTS/Finalize rail but numbers may not be ready/Status of DLTA Funding & RFP <br /> NEXT MEETING <br /> 4 <br />
