considered since it appeared to be allowable in the lease. There was discussion about whether <br /> the Board of Managers would approach DEP or the operator, in the case of a public/private <br /> partnership. Mr. Cavossa discussed the benefits of transferring recycling at the UCRTS, adding <br /> that there were no local options that would provide payment for recycling, and that it could <br /> provide revenue. Mr. D. Barrett added that Bourne was also looking into recycling and that, as <br /> leaseholders, the UCRTS would need to approach each governmental body about their pians for <br /> the property. <br /> Mr. Podgurski reported that he had recently been in contact with representatives from an Ohio <br /> landfill regarding construction and demolition debris and has scheduled a meeting to further <br /> discuss the opportunities. Mr. Podgurski had also been pursuing other uses, such as lumber, as a <br /> means to help offset the costs of operating the UCRTS. Mr. Podgurski stated that there were two <br /> lumber cooperatives withwhom he planned to meet. Mr. Podgurski intended to set up rates and <br /> discuss delivering the lumber to the UCRTS, using the facility as a designated location for the <br /> delivery of the lumber to its final destination. Mr. Podgurski noted the expense of trucking <br /> lumber and the Railroad's intent to work on a competitive deal. Mr. Podgurski will also be <br /> meeting with Cape Cod Ready Mix. Mr. Podgurski stated that he was seeking other <br /> opportunities to utilize the UCRTS, adding that the Railroad had some rights that may not <br /> require permits. Mr. Podgurski stated that he had also been in contact with Massachusetts DOT <br /> regarding track work that needed to be completed on the stretch between the UCRTS and North <br /> Falmouth. Mr. Podgurski also offered his assistance in facilitating a meeting with DCAM. <br /> Chairman Elliott stated that further information was needed regarding the uses allowable by the <br /> lease. <br /> Ms. Laurent confirmed that the Board of Managers wished to further explore the future and use <br /> of the UCRTS and suggested that it be added as an agenda item in February, along with an <br /> invitation to DCAM and DBP to attend the meeting. Mr. Podgurski agreed to contact DCAM to <br /> set up dates and Ms. Laurent agreed to send hint a copy of the lease/consent. Mr. Podgurski will <br /> follow up with Ms. Laurent. <br /> Mr. Cavossa stated that the economy had prevented the Railroad from following up on previous <br /> promises regarding C&D, lumber and expansion. Mr. Cavossa stated that C&D was needed, in <br /> order to move it, adding that the amounts were greatly reduced. If the landfill were to take <br /> MSW it would provide a third competitive option that would allow pricing to find its proper <br /> levels. <br /> There was discussion regarding whether or not a vote was needed to establish the Board of <br /> Managers as the body that would further explore options for the UCRTS. Mr. Goddard also <br /> inquired about the State Police, and it was noted that there likely was no current arrangement <br /> with the State Police. Mr. D. Barrett recommended first determining what could and could not <br /> be done at the UCRTS. <br /> Mr. Tilton inquired about using the Rail out of state and inquired whether or not it was viable. <br /> Mr. Podgurski confirmed that it was an option and that they would be providing rates, adding <br /> that its viability would be based on economics.
