Paul Tilton asked if a rail spur had the support of the Town of Bourne. Dan Barrett answered <br />that ISWM would be interested in a spur. Ray Jack is not supportive of removing the rail. Carl <br />Cavossa asked if location of the bike trail within the Route 28 right-of-way had been considered. <br />Mr. Tupper responded that it had been considered in 2017 but there was not support because <br />of the lack of direct connection to the community. It would also require MassDOT approval. <br />Tim Lydon confirmed Bourne's continued opposition to a path along McArthur <br />Boulevard/Route 28. There is currently no construction funding for Phase 4. <br />Review of UCRTS Operations and Discussion on Extension of CDC Contract <br />Mr. Cavossa reviewed UCRTS operations and facility improvements over the prior five years. <br />The facility continues to help address a need on Cape Cod for handling C&D. He mentioned <br />CDC is investigating use of hydro -mulch instead of metal covers for rail cars. The metal covers <br />are not removable by all facilities. Hydro -mulch has been approved elsewhere and would <br />provide options for MSW disposal by rail. The current CDC contract with the Board of <br />Managers expires 12/31/22. Mr. Cavossa requests that the Board extend the contract term <br />until 12/31/25. <br />Extension of the IMA is required before any action on the CDC contract can be taken. The <br />current IMA between the four towns is also due to expire 12/31/22. The four towns were in <br />agreement to extend the IMA. Board members will approach their respective Select Boards to <br />undertake this vote before December. <br />Review/Distribution of FY22 Revenue <br />Peter McConarty advised the Board members that checks for $35,133.68 will be issued to each <br />Town as their share of the usage fees collected from CDC. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Schedule Next Meeting <br />A meeting date of 12/6/22 at 8:30 am was tentatively scheduled. <br />The meeting adjourned at 3:15 pm. <br />Res ectfully submitted by, <br />LIST OF DOCUMENTS <br />- Power Point "Solid Waste Management on Cape Cod & the Islands - Understanding Options <br />for Municipal Solid Waste Processing, Disposal, and Recycling, December 1, 2021" <br />- Power Pont "Bourne Rail Trail Status, Friends of the Bourne Rail Trail" <br />- Power Pont "John S.
