SOUTH CAPE BEACH JULY 23,9 1996 PAGE FOUR Iv DISCUSSION of to ACRE SITE, Morris explained that Nick Vontzalides had made the statement that under the terms of the December, 1990 Agreement, no-thing could happen until the New Town Beach was either accepted or rejected by the Town. It has been rejected, but there is still a four year period remaining. M. Kirsner stated that he disagreed with Nick's opinion. He has researched the Agreement and read it over very carefully and found that the Ten Acre Site was especially reserved in that agreement. In Nor. Kirsner's opinion, DENT is under a firm, unconditional obligation to go forward on that; -o, e will proceed. Mr. Kirsner suggested that he would establish a meeting with Nick, and perhaps with the Commissioner, in Ma hpee so that all com- mittee members can be present, so that the committee can begin to mere for- ward on that -particular issue. M. Kirsner continued, that should include the improvement of the Access Road. The Agreement further states, "The State will make every effort through the Legislature to try to accomplish transfer of legal title t the Town of Mashpee of this area of land. If, in the event that does not succeed, in such case the' State or DENS will execute a lease for 99 years for $1.00 to the Town of Mashpee." Morris stated that he will go forward as indicated. Bill Martiros brought up that he would like to discuss at some future meeting, the Dead Neck Handicap Access Road. Since that was part of the Agreement for the committee to provide access to handicapped citizens. Bill stated that Christine Gault was under the impression that that access had to be kept closed for the whole steer season, which would be the time when the handicapped would want to use it. That is a controversy that should be resolved. Chu. Kirsner stated that we will discuss that in depth at the next meeting. Morris explained, relative to the By-Laws, those recons are in a warehouse and he has ordered all of them. If he is able to get hold of thein, he will pass on copies to all of the members. hm. Kirsner explained that it is part of the 1951 Agreement that the Agreement becomes part of the Act. we have, as far as I know, legislative existence. We are the only committee in the nation that exists in that sense, legislatively. In order to have the committee removed, they would have to file a motion to amend, and they are not likely to do that. Having no further business before it, the meeting adjourned at 89.00 p. m. espectfully submitted, a Barbara Gannon Board Secretary
