The Board voted 5-Yes 0- No. Department of Public Works Solid Waste Fees -Public Hearing Bob Bersin Bob Bersin compared the cost between Yarmouth and SEMASS based on trips per year. He handed the Board of Selectmen sheets with all the direct and indirect costs. The total annual indirect cost is $414,000. The SEMASS total cost per year is $729,237. Yarmouth is a little more expensive and would charge us an additional $30 per ton. He said Neil Andrade; the Director of Eastham called local towns and got their residential sticker fees. They are: Brewster $85, Chatham $110, Harwich $105, Orleans $75 and Eastham $70. They talked about commercial haulers and Ralph Ingeneri asked why do the commercial haulers bring trash here and not to SEMASS? Chairman Norton said that was a good point and we`ll need to revisit this subject. Crosby Lane Road Drainage Reconstruction Proiect Public Hearing Bob Bersin & Russell Kleekamp of Stearns & Wheeler Selectman Levasseur gave a brief overview. He said Crosby Lane has come under serious disrepair in the last 20 years and the last time it was repaired it was fixed with tar and gravel. He said the main aspect is to protect an asset, which is a public road, make it safe to travel on and have safe passage to a public beach. He also said Stearns and Wheeler will need to go to the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission to get all the permits in place and if all goes well, we'll be looking for construction money at spring Town Meeting. He also asked the Board to contact the Commonwealth of Mass to partner up to finally bring forward a public project which is public access to Bayside Beach front. Russ K1eeKamp gave an overview of the proposed project, which included administrative issues and engineering issues. He said they are basically looking to improve 3 major areas, which include the drainage, the condition of the road and the safety improvements. They'll put a crown on the road, which slopes off the 2 berms. He said by the parking area at the end of Crosby there is a lot of untreated storm water run off entering the wetland area, which is a fairly major source of storm water pollution. By putting these drainage structures in we greatly reduce the amount of untreated storm water entering the wetland areas. Once that is done, he said they will work on the road reconstruction. They take the machine and grind up the existing pavement and compact it for asub-base and place a new pavement on top of it. He said this is good because it recycles the existing base. It should last 20 years if not 40 to 50 years. Selectman Lewis asked if there were any chapter 90 funds available for this. Mr. Sumner stated he and Bob Bersin are in the process of analyzing some projects and this would be a combo of chapter 90 and town revenues. They took comments from the public. One concern was rate of speed on the road after it gets widened. Chief Koch assured them that it shouldn't be a problem and he will do enforcement and follow up on it.

Mr. Sumner said No; they have a meeting scheduled for next week with the contractor and architect to go over the remaining punch list issues that are holding up the final occupancy. Selectman Cooney said several people have asked her about the job classifications that we are trying to get revised. She wanted to know where that stands. Mr. Sumner said he, Greg, Ed and Jillian have a meeting with 5 employees who have questions and concerns next Monday. Selectman Levasseur said he'd like a discussion about the comment he made earlier regarding access to the beach property. Chairman Norton said we should contact Rick Sullivan from DCR and invite him for it. Selectman Levasseur said he has a call in to a gentleman who has a copy of the 1985 master plan for the property and he'll drop it off to him shortly. He said he thinks they should contact Senator O'Leary and Cleon Turner and anyone else to see if they can get us public access. Selectman Lewis said he thinks prior to a public hearing, the Board should have all information in front of them so they can know in advance what is going on. Mr. Sumner said there was a memo from the Lieutenant Governors office saying they are looking for projects that will jump start economic development. He said he has a lot of ideas and he'll review them but the only caveat is that they have to be ready within 180 BOS Minutes 1-OS-2009 Page 3 of 4 days.
