indicated in his memo, that the estimated costs for the town to <br /> pick up trash rather than private carriers would be costs for a new <br /> truck, 9 new dumpsters, labor for two men (1/2 day per per week) , <br /> and maintenance of the truck. The capital investment would total <br /> $36,000. $8,500 is the operating costs per year approximately. <br /> This includes the employees' labor and maintenance for the truck. <br /> The total cost of the contract with the private carrier is $15,746. <br /> Ed Baker asked that we put this question aside for future <br /> discussions. Al Polsi stated that it does appear to be a fair <br /> contract with the private carriers. Mr. Polsi also answered the <br /> members question of the previous week regarding the closing of the <br /> transfer station an extra day. It would be approximately $12,500 <br /> per year savings. Dan Goggin again mentioned that Mashpee was at <br /> the lower end in their dump sticker fees. He suggested raising the <br /> fee to help the town. Mr. Polsi indicated that it is the feeling <br /> of the Board of Health that we should leave the fee as is for <br /> another year. Ed Baker wanted to discuss the question of raising <br /> the dump sticker fee. Members agreed that this was also a topic <br /> for discussion at another time. <br /> Mr. Polsi also stated that the costodian in question on February <br /> 19, 1992 is directly in the Department of Public Work's budget. He <br /> is responsible for cleaning the town hall, archives, and there was <br /> a question as to whether or not he is also responsible for the <br /> library. The library also has a private cleaner. Kevin Harrington <br /> has got the custodian's supplies in his budget. <br /> Deidre Greelish corrected the figure for the trash budget. It is <br /> $511,863 as opposed to $510,277. The revision reflects an <br /> increased cost adjustment at Semass and Bay Colony Railroad based <br /> on anticipated tonnage. Al Polsi mentioned lastly that the <br /> Personnel Board is ready to meet with the Finance Committee and the <br /> Board of Selectmen any Thursday morning after 10:00, or after the <br /> Selectmen's meeting on a Monday. Five Finance Committee Members <br /> chose Thursday morning and two members were undecided. <br /> Deidre Greelish suggested that we distribute Dan Goggin's chart to <br /> the newspapers. The chart was entitled "Where Did $10 Million Go? <br /> Town of Mashpee 1988 and 1993" . <br /> BUDGET -- Personnel <br /> Dan Goggin is the liaison for this department. Personnel is made <br /> up of one full time employee. It is Marilyn Farren. The budget <br /> also includes the Board Secretaries. The hours for the secretaries <br /> range from 21 hours down to 2 1/2 hours. The board secretary for <br /> the Board of Appeals works approximately 21 hours. Denise Sullivan <br /> questioned why that particular secretary was working more than the <br /> other secretaries? The answer was that the appeals board submitted <br /> their request for 21 hours. Ms. Sullivan suggested that the whole <br /> board secretary program should be looked into. Ms. Sullivan also <br /> mentioned that if an employee works more than 18 hours, they are <br /> entitled to part time benefits. Mr. Polsi asked what guidelines do <br /> they set for the secretaries. Ms. Greelish asked Mr. Goggin if he <br />
