2 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> November 18, 2002 <br /> APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: <br /> Department of Public Works—Grading Repairs to Pine Road: <br /> Greg Taylor, Director of Public Works was present to recommend the <br /> Selectmen approve repairs to Pine Road, a town approved subdivision. <br /> Residents of Pine Road have requested assistance of the DPW to conduct <br /> grading. Costs associated to the road repair would be assumed by the Pine <br /> Road residents for a total sum of$235.00. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to approve repairs to Fine Road <br /> as referenced with residents to assume all road repair expenses. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Green. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 3-0. <br /> DEP Regulations/Policies Concerning Solid Waste: <br /> Gregory Taylor brought to the Board's attention,the issue of waste bans <br /> on the disposal of certain materials in the waste stream. These banned <br /> materials include paper products such as corrugated cardboard and office <br /> paper, metal containers, glass containers and narrow-necked containers <br /> such as milk, soda and detergent bottles. <br /> A ban on construction and demolition materials is scheduled to take effect <br /> on January 1, 2004. The zero tolerance policy would place an undue <br /> burden on communities. It would also require the town to enforce a <br /> recycling bylaw that would mandate recycling by all residents and <br /> businesses. <br /> Catherine Laurent, Assistant Director detailed this matter in a <br /> memorandum addressed to the Selectmen dated October 25, 2002. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to seek legislators assistance in <br /> preventing the imposition of these requirements and join other Cape <br /> communities in request of tolerance as previously allowed for loads to <br /> avoid additional.costs associated to the disposal of waste materials. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Green. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 3-0. <br />
