• ORD OF SELECTMEN Page 5 MINUTES HONDA. , SEPTEMBER 91 1991 Recreation enter:' When we brought it up to Field' s Point explains Mr. Carter, we expanded our conversation and negotiations into that area. One of the first things we did was to Figure out what we were talking about Financially, Since Wilassn axed I are not laa d appraisers, we wanted to get an appraiser, With that, we negotiated that the Town of l ashpee would pick our own land appraiser and Field' s Point would pay For it, but we `would pick the appraiser states Mr. Carter,, We would pay the money after' being reimbursed From Field' s Point. In conclusion, there is no benefit From Field' s Point just bbca.use they have to pay For it, We pick the appraiser and get an appraisal, That appraisal did .ot come back at the $800, 000 Figure as read in the Ma hpe e Messanger, but came back a.s $5That is For the parcel that is under dispute states Mr. Carter. Keep in mind that it is possible the Town of Ia.shpee may nearer end up with that parcel. That is the dispute that Town Counsel didn' t get into. That is why there -is lawsuits. Instead of going to court in argument and spending thousands up to twenty, thirty, Forty thousand dollars on a land dispute, we thought-- that 'if we could settle the ease, with a benefit to the Town, it would be something that would be appropriate. What we did was we looked into the possibility of takingthat Figure, the $550, 000 and getting a price For us rel.inquishing `V`ight to dispute that piece of property and take that money and do something p p p p y �y g good For the Town states lir. Carter. Not do something good For .Wil Manson or For Jerry Carter, but For the townspeople,., the kids and the Town of Mashpe . With that we came up with the proposal that we would agree with the value. -of the property that was set Forth .by the appraiser which is one half -which is approximately $225, 000 wuld be given to the Town of l a:shp e * IF Town Meeting approved it, we build a permanent. recreation center in an appropriate place .in Town. We didn#-t get into the location whether it would be Mashpee or South -l a. hpee states M . Carter. Give us some time, let' s look at the raster plan to be most- beneficial. to .the kids. Near the schools, we thought to be ideal. Let' s take some time and do it right. So now, Field' s Point, can you pay us $225, 000? They can' t come up --with the money immediately, the economy is bad,, What can you d For. us That brought in the Fact, let' s get a building figure, Can we use the Queen of All Saints Church? What is it going to cost us' I will cost u $1. 00 to go into a Church that is going to be renovated so the kids can have a. rec center, One d .11ar states Mr. Carter, - ho is going to renovate the Church? Meld' s Point agreed to set aside $50, 000 out of the $225, 000 to renovate under the guide of the Leisure Services Directory. Before we even got to the Final terns of the proposal, we brought Dear Driscoll. do ;n. We asked Dean if this was a bu.olding that he would be interested in?
