Inter-Municipal Agreement <br /> Ms. Laurent reported that Mashpee Town Counsel had contacted the Town Counsels of the other <br /> towns, suggesting that a collaborative meeting be scheduled with the Board of Managers along <br /> with other town officials, such as the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager and Town Counsel, in <br /> order to discuss the IMA. Mashpee Town Counsel will draft a letter. It was suggested that a <br /> meeting be scheduled at 9 am following the December 14th Board of Managers meeting. <br /> Mr. Cavossa inquired about the Cape Cod tonnage sheet, referencing Falmouth's tonnage and <br /> noting that the other two towns were set up to send direct to SEMASS. Mr. Cavossa expressed <br /> concern that the IMA would be a Falmouth problem since they offered town-wide collection and <br /> relied on the UCRTS and questioned whether it made sense to open up talks with Falmouth. Ms. <br /> Laurent stated that the discussion would be whether or not the TMA and UCRTS made sense or <br /> whether Falmouth would be interested in a buyout. Mr. Cavossa reiterated his suggestion <br /> regarding a private contractor taking over the UCRTS. Ms. Laurent responded that discussion at <br /> the meeting would review the entire operation and its future. Mr. Goddard recommended <br /> drafting a suggested agenda and including any relevant agreements, such as the permitted <br /> information for the site, along with the letter being sent. Mr. Goddard suggested that Mr. Segura <br /> be invited to also attend the meeting. <br /> There was discussion about the existing rail contract and the possibility of opening up to other <br /> Cape communities in order to assist in meeting the minimum daily, which has been a concern of <br /> Falmouth. Mr. Cavossa recommended inviting the rail company to return to the December <br /> meeting, given the new information provided by Yarmouth. There was discussion about the <br /> value of the rail, the change in management and concerns about meeting the tonnage. <br /> Ms. Laurent reported that 45% of the 10,000 tons had been used. The Chair provided the <br /> October tonnage to Ms. Laurent who will update the information. Chairman Elliott reported that <br /> they were just over 50% through October. The Chair reported that the 10 month total was <br /> 29,800 tons and that Falmouth's tonnage which was not directed to the UCRTS totaled 1,715 <br /> tons,bringing the total to 31,682. Figuring an average of 3,000 tons per month gross for <br /> November and December, the Chair suggested that they would be short just 3,000 tons for the <br /> year, which would be an improvement over previous years. The Chair stated that the results <br /> were due to the rate decrease offered by SEMASS. <br /> Rejected Waste Protocol <br /> Board members reviewed the Rejected Waste Protocol, which was modified from the Bourne <br /> facility. It was clarified on page 1, 44 that reporting will be to the Highway Superintendent. <br /> Regarding#5 on page 2, it was suggested that the action for detected liquid would include <br /> scanning the liquid and containing it with a berm of absorbent material. Mr. Goddard noted that <br /> a spill kit should be in place on site. Regarding#3 on page 2, it was noted that an agreement <br /> with Bourne was not necessary. Mr. Goddard will provide a list of contact information for#5, <br /> including after-hours contact information. On page 3, Ms. Laurent inquired about, after <br /> notifying the proper authorities,who made the determination about identifying and removing the <br /> material. Mr. Goddard noted that the authorities would advise of the necessary procedures. Ms. <br /> Laurent will make the changes to the document. <br /> Falmouth Board of Health Agreement <br /> 3 <br />
