become future employees. Mr. Jack indicated that he was impressed with Mr. Cavossa's work <br /> with the Correctional Facility. <br /> It was confirmed that Falmouth had made payments to the member towns for August and <br /> September. There was consensus to issue payments at the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Crowley <br /> would be forwarding the next report by email, which he typically also issued along with the <br /> paymen check to Falmouth. <br /> The Chair requested that a copy of the approved Permit Modification be forwarded once it was <br /> received. <br /> Mr. Cavossa clarified that the bunker they were seeking would be built of block and intended as <br /> a means to increase recycling rates. Mr. Tilton inquired about pressure treated wood and Mr. <br /> Cavossa confirmed that it was part of C&D and sent to Ohio. Mr. Goddard inquired whether <br /> DEP had given them a dispensation from the waste ban. Mr. Flood responded that there was no <br /> market for pressure treated wood and was an industry standard because there was no outlet. Mr. <br /> Cavossa stated that the wood was pulled out, per the DEP. There was further discussion <br /> regarding wood waste and shipping out of the state. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Update on Rail Line/Status of Repairs <br /> Working cooperatively with Mass Coastal, Mr. Cavossa reported that he had replaced over 200 <br /> hundred ties and tightened 600-700 joints. Mr. Cavossa confirmed that it was an expensive and <br /> labor intensive project, far beyond what was expected. Mr. Cavossa was unsure of a re- <br /> inspection schedule, noting that he had not heard from the rail inspectors. It was Mr. Cavossa's <br /> believe that the rail was complete out to County Road, adding that a switch still needed attention. <br /> Mr. Cavossa noted that he was taking the time to maintain and repair the rail, which would last <br /> for the next 25 years, to the benefit of the government and the UCRTS. Mr. Cavossa requested <br /> consideration on a future agenda for an extension to his contract and a return on the benefit, due <br /> to the expense of the rail improvements,which benefitted the public, as well as improvements to <br /> the building. <br /> The Chair inquired of Mr. Segura whether he had heard anything further about the rail. Mr. <br /> Segura stated that JAG was involved and letters were being drafted regarding Mass Coastal <br /> Railroad. Referencing the consent issued by the Guard Bureau, Mr. Segura noted that real estate <br /> laws had changed, so that matter was also being considered as to how best to move forward with <br /> usage of the site. <br /> Mr. Segura stated that the Federal rail inspectors had sent an email inquiring about the status of <br /> the repairs and whether a re-inspection was needed. The matter was now being reviewed at a <br /> higher level on the Base and it was expected that correspondence should soon be forwarded to <br /> the Board of Managers and the Rail. The Chair inquired how to prevent the previous situation <br /> whereby the inspection resulted in a cease and desist order, preferring instead to discuss a plan to <br /> finalize the repairs, as use of the rail was necessary. Mr. Segura noted that there were was an <br /> ROE and a letter from the Wing Commander to both the Board of Managers and MassCoastal <br /> 3 <br />
