3 <br /> Environmental Oversight Committee <br /> Minutes <br /> March 13,2008 <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Review of Action Items: <br /> 1) Environmental Education:No input at this time. <br /> 2) Mashpee River Dredging: <br /> It was suggested the matter be reverted to the basics of the original <br /> quandary. In early 1995 a petition was presented to the Board of <br /> Selectmen in an attempt to address problems with navigation and <br /> shellfish closures and odor issues. <br /> 3) Combine Water-Sewer: <br /> The matter is placed on hold until review of the outcome of the <br /> May 2008 Town Meeting. The Water District has petitioned Town <br /> Meeting to vote to rescind the vote under Article 21 of the May 2007 <br /> Town Meeting regarding bringing the elections of the Town and <br /> Mashpee Water District together to maximize participation in the <br /> elections and minimize voter inconvenience. The Water District is <br /> supportive of the goals, however,there are issues and financial <br /> problems associated with Article 21, and until matters are fully <br /> resolved, the issue to combine water-sewer has been placed on hold. <br /> 4) Natural Fertilizers/Friendly Lawn Program: <br /> The program is a work-in-progress at the County level in an attempt to <br /> regionalize the approach and obtain additional funding. In addition to <br /> the development of a brochure, a compact disc (CD) format is under <br /> consideration for public disbursement that would be similar to the <br /> Town of Falmouth's lawn program brochure. <br />
