Mills Family Lands – Update on Status of Land Transfer:
At their last meeting, the Board of Selectmen voted in accordance with the Annual May 2, 2011 vote of Town Meeting to petition for Special Legislation to permit Mashpee to transfer a partial interest in the Mills Family Lands to the Town of Barnstable.
To ensure the transfer of $150,000 in CPA funds, the Community Preservation Committee reviewed the language of the Town Meeting article. As noted: All funds paid to Mashpee by Barnstable in consideration of this interest would be deposited in the Community Preservation Committee account from which the original purchase price was paid, and thus become available for appropriation for additional CPC Open Space expenditures.
As the article is written, it was agreed that funding would be returned to the Open Space Reserves of the Community Preservation Committee. CPA funding from the Town of Barnstable is anticipated to be received by the Town of Mashpee in approximately one month.
