HomeMy WebLinkAbout1979-11-05 Planning Board Minutes10 6 the Town of Reading shipping a contracted tonnage of trash each day to this site. The trash would then be recycled into electricity; , the glass recycled for asphalt. Schedule of costs to Town would be high at the onset; projected savings would be realized from the sale of this electrical power - a future return. Mr. Mitchel felt that some points were not adequately covered- - the future of the present Incinerator site as a transfer station; - costs of trucking to North Andover; - protection of the Town legally, among others. Town Counsel feels that the contract as presently written puts all of the burden on the Town and none on the contractor. There is pressure to join NESWC by January 1, 1980 or a late fee will be levied on the Town. Another option open to the Town is to continue the present contract with BFI to pick up and dispose of the trash in a land- fill in Randolph. This is not a long term solution as the land- fill project is already meeting with some resistance in that Town. The third alternative is the RESCO Company of.Saugus proposal, which would pick up and take trash to their Incinerator in Saugus. Mr, Mitchel feels that the Board of Public Works will have a difficult time getting Article 12 passed. Fiscal '81 Budget proposal forms for Fiscal 181 were received from the Finance Committee.
