PUBLIC COMMENT - None. REVIEW OF MINUTES Review of the minutes from the 7110112 meeting was tabled to the next committee meeting with a quorum present. MEMORIAL PLAQUE UPDATE Jeralyn Smith reported on an update from Mashpee's Town Counsel with the decision that Grafton Briggs is not obligated to replace the second stolen plaque. For the record, a brief history of the memorial plaque follows: 1) December 13, 2005: a granite memorial stone with a bronze plaque was installed at the South Cape Beach State Park, produced by Baker Memorial Co. and donated by Jack Cramer. (The installed plaque was a replacement for the first plaque produced by Baker Memorial, which had a misspelled name.) 2) The bronze plaque installed on 12/13/05 was subsequently stolen from the Park, and Baker Memorial agreed to replace the plaque free of charge with their first plaque made with the misspelled name, at a cost to the committee of just the installation fee. The committee members donated $110 toward the installation costs. 3) Baker Memorial subsequently sold out to Grafton Briggs who now was in possession of the plaque with the misspelled name. A year later, Grafton Briggs was vandalized, and the plaque in their possession was stolen. 1
