APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS:
Public Comment:
Steve Paxton, a resident of Juniper Drive and member of the Lakewood Association
commented on the Selectmen’s proposed intent to jointly regulate with the Town of Sandwich, boats on Mashpee Wakeby Pond in excess of 26 feet.
Mr. Paxton indicated he has resided on the pond for the past twenty-seven years, and during this time he has not seen a boat of that size on Mashpee Wakeby. In concern with respect to the devaluation of properties and to the recent editorial in the Mashpee Enterprise, regarding this matter Mr. Paxton stated that regulating the pond would be a disservice to the people of the Town of Mashpee who use this property.

APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS:
DPW Director – Recommendation for Award of Annual Contracts:
Trash/Recycling Services and Rental of Portable Toilets:
Catherine Laurent, Director of Public Works was before the Board to request that a contract be awarded to Republic Services for trash and recycling services at various Town buildings. In review of the proposals submitted in response to advertisement, Republic Services of Yarmouth is the low bidder offering a bid price that is equal to CY14. There have been no issues with the incumbent contractor for this service.
When asked about recycling services, it was noted the firm takes care of trash and recycling at various Town and School buildings. At the beach, recycling containers used by the public are emptied by the Department of Public Works as currently, there is not enough recycling to justify the use of a large container.
Ms. Laurent recommended that a contract be awarded to Bouse House Enterprises, Inc., the low bid firm for the rental and service of portable toilet facilities. Bouse House operates out of Forestdale.
Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to accept the recommendation of the DPW Director and award the Annual Trash and Recycling Contract to Republic Services of Yarmouth, and the contract for the Rental and Service of Portable Toilet facilities to Bouse House of Forestdale.
Motion seconded by Selectman Gottlieb.
VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0.
