We are rurmi-ng out of resources as we have <br /> more and more people using a Unitcd amount of acreage out on the water. Trir. Ellis went <br /> on to state that it is very unfortunate but it looks like Mashpee is probably going to have a <br /> catastrophic accident on out waters before very long. In the atea of Poppon.esset Bay, there <br /> are jet sIds horrendously out of control,this along vith tubers,water skiers,etc. and it makes <br /> for a trac-accident just Ming to happen; Ferry states that he goes from spot to spot with <br /> everyone flying around ttr*ng to mss each other. We have already had numerous near <br /> rr�sscs. Ferry further states that he and his meted help do their best but there is just no <br /> way that they can be everywhere that they need to be. He curtendy has, beside himself, <br /> three part time people. <br /> Herb Silver asked if anyffiing was ever done after last years request to enlist the help of the <br /> police department on the waterways. Perry responded that they came out for two days on. <br /> Memorial Day weekend but disbanded right after that and he hasn't seen them since. Petry <br /> i <br /> feels that the reason this never worked out was because of the scheduling. The Police <br /> Departments shift on the water vas to be from 12 noon to 5:00. This was totally in <br /> opposition vAth the department's standard shift,w1iich ended or started at 3:00 p.m. This <br /> )ust did not work out for an officer wbo was ending his regular shift at :00 p.m. to *oin a <br /> shift that had already started three hours prior. <br /> ids.Josephs asked Ferry if he was going to cite the people for putdng up the eqwpment for <br /> the slalom.

Ms.Josephs stated that she was not going to give up voicing her conce s <br /> until she saw some changes being nde.
