Planning & Construction Committee Activites: Trish Parolski reported that construction work on Fire Station 42 was ahead of schedule. Library: Catherine Laurent is on the Selectmen's Meeting agenda to discuss bids for demolition in September. Parking in the Commons is an issue at this time. The Cape Cod Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Mashpee Commons Limited Partnership are arbitrating the details. Temporary Library Crosswalk-South Cape Village Parking: Melinda Gallant, Manager of South Cape Village, will be approached with the request to have a crosswalk installed at the expense of South Cape Village. Also, more handicap parking spaces are needed. Parking Patrols - Mert Sapers: Mert Sapers reported that two tickets were given out this month. There are currently 8 patrols, with two members each, going out on different days, covering the entire week. The ticket is issued and placed on the windshield of the car and copies go to the Town Clerk and Police Department. Mashpee Night at the Pops: Last year there were places for the handicapped in one location. There was also a drop-off zone. The event will take place the last Saturday in July. Bob Wooldridge will send an e-mail to Tim Vacarro to see if he is coordinating parking. Ballots and Town Meeting Warrants for the Blind: Bob Wooldridge noted that many are in favor of a CD/audiotape version of the election ballot and the Town Meeting Warrant. We need to keep talking to Sherry Bergeron, Executive Director of the Audible Local Ledger, to figure out how best to accomplish this. Wayne Taylor and Terrie Cook offered to help.
