The Falmouth, Mashpee, and Sandwich Boards voted to extend the term of the IMA through 6/30/26. Vote on Extension of Contract with Cavossa Disposal Corp. A motion was made by Paul Tilton and seconded by Ray Jack to extend the current CDC lease contract with the Board of Managers expiring on 12/31/22 to 12/31/25. Approved unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Review and Vote on CDC Request to Install Scale Carl Cavossa submitted a proposal to the board to install a scale for the rail. There is a grant opportunity through MassDOT to install a scale in order to weigh the rail cars. A portion of the existing track would have to be cut. The scale would help maximize the loading of the rail cars with MSW. There would be no cost to the Towns. CDC would provide the required match for the grant. Carl understands that the scale would become the property of the Transfer Station at the end of the lease. The scale would help position CDC as an option for MSW disposal, either in an emergency or long term.
