• Waive and release any and all claims, rights, interests and/or entitlements relating to real property located within the geographical boundaries of the Town of Mashpee and owned by private (non-governmental) property owners or by the Town of Mashpee, its agencies, commissions and authorities; • Not apply for, nor consent to, trust status for, or otherwise exercise control over or limit access to, any real property owned by the Town of Mashpee, with the exception of the parcels described in Exhibits A and B of the iGA; and • Not to construct or operate a casino conducting either Class II or Class III gaming authorized under IGRA within the Town. As discussed at our recent meeting, these issues are of utmost importance to the Town and we do not believe that the construction and implementation of the IGA's terms should be left to "implication", particularly when a legislative means to unambiguously confirm said terms is readily available. We look forward to working cooperatively with the Tribe in reaching out to our elected representatives to ensure that these commitments are clearly reflected in the proposed legislation.
