Review Additional Articles Proposed for Fall Annual Town Meeting:
The Board of Selectmen reviewed the additional articles planned for the October 2015 Town Meeting warrant. For informational purposes, the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen read aloud the proposed articles into the record. Although the deadline to submit articles for the fall warrant has passed, the Selectmen have the ability to include or remove warrant articles prior to the posting of the warrant deadline. The following articles were given consideration for placement on the October warrant;
Article 1: To create the Historical Commission Revolving Account.
This provision would enable the Historical Committee to fund the account with revenues received from the sale of books related to the History of the Town of Mashpee. Funds would be used to further the operations of the Historical Commission programs and services. Expenditures from this account shall be limited to $10,000 for FY2016.
This article has been reviewed by the Finance Director and Town Counsel without objection.
Motion made by Selectman Cotton to include and recommend Article 1 for placement on the October 2015 Town Meeting warrant.

Review Additional Articles Proposed for Fall Annual Town Meeting: (continued)
Article 2: To appropriate $350,000 from the Overlay Surplus to the Town Hall Repairs and Maintenance Account for the purpose of making improvements, including the purchase of various furnishing for the Archives building, the Department of Natural Resources and Town Hall.
Rodney Collins, Town Manager indicated he is awaiting state bid quotations, and the actual cost of improvements would most likely derive under budget assumptions. Funding for the non-structural and much-needed items would be obtained from the release of Overlay Surplus funding. Approval of this appropriation would support the replacement of worn, antiquated furnishings, some of which were previously donated. Additional items include the purchase of fire proof safes, shelving and materials which would assist in the preservation and protection of archival documents from environmental factors.
Discussion followed with respect to utilizing the capital budget as an avenue for this type of expenditure. Capital items greater than $25,000 usually originate from the capital improvement program budget. There was also concern regarding the funding recently expended for the renovation and protection of the Archives building. It was explained the refurbishment would provide a tremendous boost to morale, and with respect to the Archives, improvements are slated for the storage of items in the basement area which was not included in the restoration project.
It was agreed the Town Manager would provide the Board with a breakdown of expenditures proposed for the referenced departments and buildings for additional review.
Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to include and recommend Article 2 for placement on the
October 2015 Town Meeting warrant.
Motion seconded by Selectman Cahalane.

Within the reorganization plan, Richard York, the Shellfish Constable would be promoted as Director of Natural Resources. This would create a vacancy in the Shellfish Constable position.
The new Natural Resources Department would be instrumental in implementing the Shellfish and Water Quality Monitoring components of the Mashpee Comprehensive Wastewater and Nitrogen Management Plan in addition to protecting, preserving and enhancing the Town’s natural resources including shellfish and finfish populations.
The project will enable the Town to continue with Phase I of the Town’s long term planning for nitrogen reduction.

Review Additional Articles Proposed for Fall Annual Town Meeting: (continued)
Article 22: Land Distribution Project; Tax taking properties identified as Town-owned land to be developed into public access parks, affordable housing, waste water treatment facilities if needed in the future, selling a limited number of parcels, and permanently protecting land as open space under the care and custody of the Conservation Commission.
The article is a result of a 9-month effort to designate uses for public lands in the possession of the Town for which no specific use has previously been designated.
An in-depth discussion followed with respect to this regard. Acting under the Board of Selectmen, a working group spent considerable time to delineate the tax taking parcels. There were several public hearings, and changes were made as a result of public outreach. It is deemed a comprehensive approach to develop uses for the 283 parcels of land, most of which would remain in its natural state.
However, previous town meetings have opposed any change to the tax taking properties. It was recommended the Board gain further knowledge of the properties and their locations, and defer any action at this time.
Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to include and recommend Article 22 for placement on the October 2015 Town Meeting warrant.
Motion seconded by Selectman Cotton.
VOTE: 2-3. Motion does not carry.
Roll Call Vote:
Selectman Cahalane, no Selectman Sherman, no
Selectman Gottlieb, yes Selectman O’Hara, no
Selectman Cotton, yes Opposed, (3)
As the matter was debated, it was recommended the waste water component be included on the October Town Meeting warrant. It was noted that Mashpee’s Comprehensive Wastewater and Nitrogen Management Plan identifies a number of parcels on the Land Distribution list as potential and future waste water site locations. It was also noted this article was previously identified individually on Draft #1 of the October warrant.
