The Agent said the only thing that wasn't made clear is the post inspection of debris because it seemed unpredictable. He said the Board should get a more formal process to ensure better monitoring. It was decided this is a good start but the Commissioners would further review the Conditions. The Agent will take the comments back to Joe Colasuonno and have his board review it. This will be included on the next Commissioners' agenda to formalize it. HEARINGS: 6:00 Town of Mashpee, (Applicant), 493-Beach Great Oak Road. Proposed alternate dredge site.
