Mr. Ellis stated that they patrol the lake as regularly as possible but with the recent loss of his <br /> other full-time harbormaster and only having a handful of part dtnie harbormasters,it is <br /> difficult to catch violators. What happens is that they hang around and wait until the <br /> harbormaster or other patrol boats lure and then go on with the business of breaking any <br /> n-des and reg Aatlons that they want to. <br /> Jim.Hanks stated that there is a brochure pertaining to the fresh water by-laws that-ra s <br /> distributed at one point and perhaps the Lake Management Committee could bring it up to <br /> date and have it re-distributed, <br /> One commission member reminded everyone that it is not the Waterways Con-tr ission's <br /> business to enforce rales and regulations on the waterways. Our only function is to advise <br /> and make recommendations to the selectman. <br /> Mr. Hanks thanked:mss._Josephs for bringing her concerns to the concession.. The only way <br /> that the boaters and jet-slders are going to learn that it is not okay to continually violate these <br /> acs and regalations is for presidents to conte out and voice their opinions and have them put <br /> on public record. <br /> ,Jinn Hanks recognized Ed Baker. Mr. Baker addressed the conu-nission regarding the <br /> ar.shpec River Dredging Project. He is concerned that other areas, such as Popponesset <br /> Bay, co-ild take precedence over the M-ashpee River being dredged and he feels that the <br /> Mash.pee River is long o erdue and it has talo so long to finalize plans, etc. that <br /> Popponesset Bay dredging needs should be put on the back burner until the Mashpee River <br /> Dredging l-3ro ject has been completed. <br /> Jim Harks stated that the letter to the selectman is on the books and the arena for discussion, <br /> on dredging wl be at the electrnan}s meeting. <br /> Mr. Hanks asked iNit.
