Special & Annual Town Meeting Warrants – Discussion of Motions:
The Board of Selectmen discussed the motions pertaining to the Special and Annual Town Meeting Warrants of Monday, May 5, 2008 with Town Counsel, Patrick Costello.
Article 10 of the Annual Town Meeting Warrant, the acquisition of the St. Vincent’s Home Corporation parcel consisting of 78.67 acres, more or less, located on Route 130 was discussed in detail. If approved by the voters at Town Meeting, the parcel would be acquired for open space, conservation, and passive recreation purposes.
Funding for the acquisition would require the use of CPC funds, Self Help funds, Land & Water Conservation funds, and $2,146,800 debt exclusion. Grant funding would require that a conservation restriction be placed on the subject property.
Discussion followed regarding the open space parcel with frontage on Mashpee/Wakeby Pond as it pertains to possible future use without conservation restrictions. It was noted the St. Vincent’s Home Corporation has indicated they were be agreeable to defer the purchase until the October Town Meeting to allow the Town to seek additional alternatives for the use and funding of the subject property. Also, an additional issue regarding the land, an estimated eight acres to be retained by St. Vincent’s has not been negotiated to date.
Motion made by Selectman Taylor to indefinitely postpone Article 10, the acquisition of the St. Vincent’s Home Corporation parcel.
Motion seconded by Selectman Green.
VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0.
Article 18, a petition article submitted by the Board of Water Commissioners of the Mashpee Water District and others to rescind the vote under Article 21 of the May 7, 2007 Annual Town Meeting was discussed. The Selectmen did not change their position on the article, but agreed to clarify the information to the voters at the May 2008 Town Meeting.
Adjournment:
Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to adjourn at 6:33 p.m.
Motion seconded by Selectman Green.
VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Kathleen M. Soares
