<br /> <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> <br />BOARD OF HEALTH – EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />Mashpee Town Hall – Conference Room 3 <br /> <br />Minutes of the Meeting of Wednesday, July 11, 2012 <br /> <br />Board Members Present: Also Present: <br />Burton Kaplan, Chairman Glen Harrington, Health Agent <br />Kalliope Egloff, Co-Chairman <br />Lucy Burton, Clerk <br /> <br />Chairman Burton Kaplan called the Executive Session meeting to order at 7:22 PM. <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: Burton Kaplan, yes; Kalliope Egloff, yes; Lucy Burton, yes. <br /> <br />1. MEZ Realty, Inc. v. Mashpee Board of Health – Water. <br />Glen Harrington stated that there is no information for discussion. <br /> <br />2. Landfill Monitoring Contract. <br />Burton Kaplan stated that this discussion is on the financial aspect of the two proposals for <br />monitoring the Ashers Path Sanitary Landfill for the Fiscal Year starting July 1, 2012. Mr. Kaplan <br />commented that there is a difference in the proposed contract bids, and last year although <br />Horsley Witten Group was not the low bidder was chosen as the most qualified low bidder. <br /> <br />Glen Harrington stated that last year Green Seal Environmental proposed a condition that the <br />Board of Health provide electronic formats of the reports, which we could not. Therefore, their <br />condition could not be met, and they were not qualified. <br /> <br />Glen Harrington stated his belief that he agreed with Burton Kaplan that this is a boiler plate <br />type of submittal and that the Terms and Conditions should not be an issue because Green <br />Seal works with municipalities and understands that the Terms and Conditions will be changed <br />and that he believes Green Seal is willing to accept Mashpee’s Terms and Conditions. <br /> <br />Lucy Burton commented that she is not advocating for one bidder over the other. If the Board of <br />Health is strictly looking at the numbers and both are equal, give Green Seal a try even though <br />considering that Horsley Witten did a good job last year. <br /> <br />Kalliope Egloff stated that she is in favor of different groups testing the wells, almost as a check <br />and double check. <br /> <br />Glen Harrington commented that the solar farm will not hinder either of the companies. Mr. <br />Harrington stated his belief that it should not be a factor on who the Board of Health decides can <br />work independently of the solar farm. Weston & Sampson was partnered with the company that <br />was doing the solar farm and that therefore a conflict exists so Weston & Sampson could not <br />have been the environmental contractor while the solar farm was being negotiated. <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
