TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> July 16, 1998 <br /> Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. <br /> Members present: Robert F. Cram, Sr., Steven R. Ball and John T. Doherty <br /> THE TAPE IS NOT PART OF THE MEETING IT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF <br /> TRANSCRIPTION ONLY. <br /> Mr, Robert F. Cram, Chairman <br /> APPOINTMENT: S. Joseph DiMaggio - Bulky Waste <br /> Mr. S. Joseph DiMaggio was in attendance for this scheduled appointment. <br /> Mr. Cram commented, "The bulky waste issue was not included in the landfill <br /> contract for this year." "This Board has to make a decision as to what we are going to do <br /> with it as we will now be charged a fee on a tonnage basis." <br /> Mr. DiMaggio commented, "We would like to take the bulky waste in a 100 yard <br /> trailer." "It can hold approximately 18 tons." "I would recommend the Board construct a <br /> metal building to keep the bulky waste dry in the roll-offs." <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "I did submit an article for the fall town meeting." "We need <br /> to determine an amount." "The amount should include tipping costs, transportation costs <br /> and tonnage fees." "In my opinion, we should let the residents know in advance of the <br /> charges." "It would be more appropriate to present the new charges and the reasons for <br /> the charges at the fall town meeting rather than through the media." <br /> Mr. Doherty commented, "This is the Board's decision." "This matter should not <br /> be brought up at town meeting." <br /> Mr. Ball stated, "I don't think we have any choice at this point." "We either have <br /> to charge for the items or eventually increase our sticker price." "We don't have the funds <br /> to wait until the October town meeting." <br />
