9 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> March 2, 2020 <br /> Discussion and Approval of Seconsett Island Road Parking Permit Fee: Director of Natural Resources Richard <br /> York: <br /> After consulting the Harbormaster, Shellfish Constable and Falmouth Marine and Environmental Affairs, Richard <br /> York, Director of Natural Resources recommended the Board charge for non-resident parking permits for the <br /> Seconsett Island Causeway a $30 annual fee for non-resident Waquoit Bay mooring holders and Falmouth non- <br /> commercial shellfish permit holders. <br /> The Seconsett Island Causeway is the access for the non-commercial (family) shellfishing area on the Mashpee <br /> side of the bay at the causeway which is a mooring area. This is a popular and accessible area for shellfishing in <br /> Mashpee. <br /> Mr. York indicated that reciprocity for both Mashpee and Falmouth to shellfish in all of Waquoit Bay is written <br /> into the Town's Shellfish Regulations. The Mashpee side of the causeway is the only parking or potential parking <br /> area on either side of the Town line. <br /> There is concern as the Division of Marine Fisheries may be required to close this area and all other mooring <br /> areas to shellfishing. As an option the Town of Falmouth could possibly designate a non-commercial shellfishing <br /> area on the Falmouth side, on the Town line at the causeway that is not in a mooring area. <br /> Town Manager Rodney C. Collins recommended the Board table the discussion to allow for conversation with the <br /> Town of Falmouth. If the proposal was to move forward it would return in the form of a Public Hearing. <br /> There was a question regarding the taking of shellfish; Is a Mashpee shellfish permit holder allowed to shellfish <br /> on the Falmouth side of Waquoit Bay? <br /> Mr. York indicated he is seeking a solution for alternative parking. There are about 35 mooring holders and very <br /> few parking spaces to meet the demand. <br /> Discussion and Approval of Waste Disposal Agreement: New Bedford Waste Services: Michael Camara: <br /> The Board of Selectmen met with Michael Camara of New Bedford Waste Services (NBWS) to review <br /> Amendment#2 to the Waste Disposal Agreement. The original language was reviewed by Town Counsel to <br /> form. <br /> Under Item 1 —Services Provided and Disposal Fee: Effective January 1, 2020, the Town agrees to pay NBWS <br /> a disposal fee for Calendar Year 2020 in an amount not to exceed $93.75 per ton, including all handling, <br /> transportation and end disposal costs. The fee shall be adjusted monthly based on documentation provided by <br /> NBWS as required by Section 9C of the Agreement to substantiate the fee amount. NBWS shall include this <br /> documentation with each invoice issued. In no event shall this disposal fee exceed $93.75 per ton during <br /> Calendar Year 2020 and NBWS shall not seek any further fee increase above $93.75 per ton in Calendar Year <br /> 2020. <br /> The Agreement was amended by Mr. Camara striking one-half of the first sentence and second sentence as <br /> follows: including all handling, transportation and end disposal costs. The fee shall be adjusted monthly based on <br /> documentation provided by NBWS as required by Section 9C of the Agreement to substantiate the fee amount. <br />
