Advisory Committee Representative - Mr. McQuaid relayed, "The Committee was formed three or four years ago. " "The intent of the committee, through the Cape Cod Commission, was to decide whether or not there should be a regional Cape wide M.R.F. established for recyclables for the Cape. " "The County received a grant from the State and did a feasibility study. " "Back when this first was intro- duced, Mashpee was one of only two other towns on the Cape that voted against it, thinking we could handle our recyclables locally better than a regional plant. " "Since then, the Cape Cod Commission and Assembly of Delegates voted that we should not build one plant for the Cape. " "Meanwhile D.E.P. has funds available, through the bottle bill, and they are looking at building a mini M.R.F. at our Otis Transfer Station at the States expense. " "It turns out that the money was not specifically allocated for such purposes. " "We have had no voice on the Waste Management Advisory Committee be- cause Mr. Greelish, our representative, chose to ignore it because he was against it from the beginning. " "Now there is a vacant seat on that committee. " "They are requesting we appoint a representative." Mr. Doherty volunteered to represent the town with Mr. McQuaid to remain as alternate. 4 . ) Response from O.S.H.A. - Mr. McQuaid relayed, "At the Board's request I forwarded a letter to O.S.H.A. requesting to be copied on any reports on the accident. " Mr. Doherty directed the Agent to resubmit the request for copies of any reports three and six months from this date.
