review t hem and no response as yet . <br /> Mr . Hanks advised there was discussion whether or not the <br /> Town had adopted the State Harbormaster laws . This was <br /> resolved as in the law there is a comment that states it has <br /> to be ratified by the Town . It has been pint in and has gone <br /> forward to Counsel, to determine if it is legally required . <br /> Dr . Gordon advised- all the articles have been put in . <br /> Mr . Ho eyer stated members should research all the articles <br /> and be prepared to give a strong presentation on Town feetin <br /> floor . Dr . Gordon stated members should attend . <br /> Dr . Gordon summarized the articles submitted: A full-time <br /> harbormaster effective July neva Pickup truc ; transfer <br /> of $20 ,000 to Waterways Maintenance Account; Harbormaster <br /> status; Chapter 170 changes , and a higher speed channel in <br /> oc way Bay . <br /> The money in the maintenance account has been used mainly to <br /> buy buoys and it is proposed to use the second $20 ,000 to buy <br /> buoys and some other safety related items but before it can <br /> be spent , i t rust be transferred . This money comes from the <br /> boat excise tax ; half goes to this fund and the other half to <br /> the torn coffers . This money can only be used with the <br /> permission of the Selectmen . <br /> Mr . Homeye r advised the transferred funds have to be used <br /> within three years or they will revert to general funds <br /> without submission of another article to maintain them . <br /> Dr . Gordon advised one of his major r goals , as chairman , was <br /> to get all of the equipment up to snuff . Where are now three <br /> decent boats , at least one decent outboard , one so-so <br /> outboard , the other so-so minus , and the wreck of a wort boat <br /> but that prevents abuse of the good boats . The floating <br /> arsenal ].s in pretty good shape . The main item needed is a <br /> new pickup truck and the other is to get the rest of the <br /> buoys modernized . <br /> Changes were also requested to Chapter 170 of the Mashpee <br /> code to say "Slow - No Wake rather than 6 MPH No Wake " . The <br /> second part is to see if the town will Vote to add . . ,. . . "Speed <br /> in ocway day will be Slow - No Wake , except for a channel <br /> designated by the Harbormaster " . <br /> It was noted the Finance Committee , as always , is opposed t <br /> the Commissions articles . <br /> Y- . ordham asked ,, i-F there is a channel in oc way Say and <br /> one passes a not her , don 't they have t o slow down- <br />
