APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS:
Public Comment:A gentleman identifying himself as Marcus spoke in support of the Fish Wildlife & Natural Resources Commission (FWNRC) of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and their request to conduct a quahog relay in Mashpee waters. The topic was deferred from a recent Selectmen’s Meeting. Last year, the Board of Selectmen tabled the request of the Natural Resources Commission to stock inexpensive and contaminated quahogs from the Taunton River estuary to clean Mashpee shellfish areas. Once transplanted to clean waters, the shellfish metabolize and purge bacteria, pathogens and other metals. At the time of the initial discussion, the Town of Mashpee Shellfish Constable related concern with respect to illegal harvesting and enforcement issues related to this matter. To clean themselves of the pathogens and other contamination, the relay would take approximately one spawning season. It was the recommendation of the Shellfish Constable last June to purchase quahog seed to support the
shell fishing industry in lieu of the relay. It was noted the Towns of Chatham and Falmouth have rejected the proposal. The Board of Selectmen was requested to support the Tribe and endorse the relay. It was explained there is no data to support the health risks of the contaminated shellfish relay to humans or to the environment. The Town of Sandwich was noted to have stocked their waters with shellfish from the exact Taunton River location.

Rachel’s Challenge – Melanie Sanders:
Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School in April of 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life changing school programs in America.
Rachel’s life and the Columbine tragedy hold students spell-bound during a one-hour school presentation that motivates them to change the way they treat others.
The Rachel’s Challenge is a 90 minute training session that shows how to sustain the momentum created by the assembly. The assembly creates the want to or desire for positive change, and the training session teaches and ensures that the positive impact will continue.
It was noted that this initiative with the assistance of the School Superintendent was brought to life by the Mashpee Cares Organization in an effort to see what is going on with Mashpee’s youth. The presentation mainly targets students, but it is also beneficial to parents and community leaders to reinforce positive attitudes and actions. The Mashpee Kiwanis has also been involved in the process.
To conduct the Rachel’s Challenge initiative in the Town of Mashpee, a breakdown of expenses was detailed as follows;
Option A: Full Day with FOR Support: $5,200 Off Tour/$4,800 On Tour
2 Assemblies, 1 Student Training Session
1 Community Event FOR Support Packet
Option B: Full Day without FOR Support: $4,000 Off Tour/$3,600 On Tour
2 Assemblies, 1 Student Training Session
1 Community Event
Option C would fund a half day and Option D would fund the presentation only. All fees include travel expenses and event materials.
It is the recommendation of the group to fund Option A. To date, the Mashpee Cares Organization, the Sheriff’s Department, the Mashpee Kiwanis and District Attorney’s Office have expressed a willingness to contribute to the event although definitive contributions were not disclosed. It is predicted the students would be required to conduct additional fundraising to offset costs.The tentative date for the Rachel’s Challenge in Mashpee is October 3, 2012.
The Board of Selectmen expressed deep appreciation to the students undertaking this worthwhile challenge for the benefit of the Town of Mashpee in its entirety.

APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS:
Andrew Gottlieb, Executive Director, Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative – Outreach Plan:
Andrew Gottlieb, Executive Director of the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative was in attendance to update the Selectmen on the public outreach plan relative to the evaluation of the merits associated to a regional approach to wastewater management.
Earlier this year, the Barnstable County Board of County Commissioners charged Mr. Gottlieb and Paul Niedzwiecki, the Executive Director of the Cape Cod Commission with exploring the issue of wastewater management on Cape Cod and to evaluate a regional wastewater plan for Cape Cod.
To alleviate any concerns and to gain broad input, representatives from the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative and Cape Cod Commission will be conducting informational sessions to gather data and to listen to public concern.
In his opinion, Mr. Gottlieb stated the Cape will not be developing one central system, but engage in a collective group of solutions which would include a number of smaller systems, some clustered, others Title V, and with wastewater management by natural attenuation and large aquaculture farming alternatives.
Mr. Gottlieb outlined the broad categories to be considered in the step-by-step analysis. This includes the technical aspect which varies from town-to-town. Mr. Gottlieb explained the regional approach would be most advantageous to leverage federal and state funding. The schedule of events and development of this process can be found on the website: www.capekeepers.org.
It was disclosed the Town of Mashpee has spent a considerable amount of time on the matter of sewering. Mashpee’s comprehensive wastewater plan to meet wastewater TMLD’s is moving forward for review by MEPA.In response, Mr. Gottlieb indicated that it is important for Cape town’s to continue their planning process, and define their local issues to form the local framework for sewering as it may be up to six years for the Cape to begin to gain financial assistance. Currently, 0% interest loans are the extent to what is available for funding.
In closing, Mr. Gottlieb noted the regional approach may be of significance with national decision makers. Recently, litigation filed against the EPA with respect to this regard has drawn national attention. Additional information can be found at the Collaborative website: www.ccwpc.org.
