MINUTES July 15, 1993 6 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> Mr. Ball stated, "The reason I voted for this to go out <br /> to bid is the amount of money involved in recycling. " <br /> "Ethically, I apologize to B.F.I. however, morally I do not. ,, <br /> "If we award this contract to B.F.I . I believe buy putting it <br /> out to bid and getting the lowest bidder we would save the <br /> towns people quite a bit of money. " "Labor alone would save <br /> the town $1500.00. " "There is an additional bidder inter- <br /> ested in the recycling contract. " <br /> Mr. Greelish stated, "This process was subverted.

" "Otherwise this <br /> Board would have proceeded. " "This Board was represented <br /> that the process was continuing with B.F.I . . " "Mr. Doherty <br /> took it upon himself to stop it. " <br /> Mr. Doherty stated, "That is incorrect. " <br /> Mr. Greelish stated, ""B.F.I. informed me that Mr. <br /> Doherty told them all bets were off and the project is going <br /> out to bid. " "My checks with Town Counsel no more discussion <br /> of this document. " <br /> Mr. Doherty replied, "Your perception is incorrect.
