t committee. It is possible to request resignations from committee members who regularly • do not attend the meetings. However, it is still the State requirement that there be eleven members on the committee. Jeri Smith stated her concern that if the State is asked to reduce the required number of members on the committee, the State might decide to abolish the committee altogether. Jeralyn Smith asked that members who are not committed to attending the meetings tender their resignations and appoint replacements for their place on the committee. Mike Cardeiro reminded the committee that Perry Ellis has voiced his interest in becoming a member of the Committee. Bill Martiros asked the question as to why the Committee needs representation from Falmouth, Sandwich, Barnstable as well as Mashpee, since the State Park is located in Mashpee, and the majority of the issues regarding the State Park are related to Mashpee. Jeralyn Smith explained that it is a statewide park, and there are people from all those towns who use the State Park every year, and therefore they have a right to representation on the committee. Lance Lambros stated his opinion that he would like to have the committee continue to have eleven active members, rather than decrease the number of members. Lance stated further that he could be helpful in carrying through the legislature any committee changes that the members agreed upon,and did not feel that the State would abolish the committee as a result of those requests. Jeralyn Smith asked whether there was anyone on the committee who would care to serve as Chairman, since she has been in the position for several years. There were no volunteers for the position. Jeralyn Smith agreed to continue as Chairman, and Frank Connelly agreed to stay on as Vice Chairman. OTHER BUSINESS The Memorial Plaque. Jeralyn Smith reported that Ben Lofchie had talked to someone at Baker Monument, the company that made the memorial plaque, who agreed to replace the vandalized plaque for 50% of retail. Lance Lambros stated that Baker Monument was now out of business. Frank Connelly stated that the company, whose ownership had changed hands, still had the original plaque they had prepared, which had a misspelled name, and was willing to give it to the Committee but would not pay for the installation. Lance Lambros recommended that the committee contact Jack Cramer to determine who did the original installation. The committee has no budget, but will figure out a way to pay for installation of the replacement plaque. NEXT MEETING The next meeting of the Committee was scheduled for Tuesday, September 14, 2010, at 5:00 PM, at Mashpee Town Hall. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:30 PM.
