Mashpee National Wildlife, annual meeting will be October 5 at the Library. <br /> <br />Update/Signatures: Childs River Conservation Area Land Lease to the Falmouth Road <br />and Gun Club (tabled for end of hearing Agenda) <br /> <br />The Agent stated this is a restoration effort that is a piece of Conservation Land that was <br />requested by the Falmouth Rod and Gun Club to be leased out to them so they could do <br />some restoration at the Charles River that used to be a herring run. The Club approached <br />the Commission and proposed a 30-year lease of the land. The reason they are spiriting <br />this is because the opportunity for grants is much higher for a nonprofit as opposed to a <br />municipality. <br /> <br />Ken Bates from the Rod and Gun Club reviewed the history and stated he was requesting <br />six copies of the lease to be signed by the Conservation Commissioners. He said their <br />intention is to create a cold-water fishery. He noted it is a 1.8 million dollar project and <br />they have grants totaling around $900,000. US Fish and Wildlife are donating the <br />$350,000 culvert and will also be donating $75,000 for construction. The Commissioners <br />signed the lease. The Agent noted on photos the parcel discussed where all the <br />restoration will take place. <br /> <br />Motion: Mr. Smith moved to enter into Executive Session to discuss Gooseberry <br />Island with respect to litigation as an open meeting may have a detriment effect on <br />the litigating position of this public body. Seconded by Mr. O’Neill. Roll Call Vote: <br />Mr. Smith, yes; Mr. O’Neill, yes; Mr. Dalton, yes; Mr. McKay, yes. Vote unanimous <br />4-0 <br /> <br /> <br />
