we want that facility and we want to maintain it for base use as well. They understand how important it is to Mashpee and we want to work with other towns on letting them know how important that facility is. Mr. Fudala said the Air Force tried to get rid of all of the utilities on the base and it didn't work out. We can send a letter to the Selectmen stating should this fall thru with Mass Development, we continue to work with the other three tows on acquiring and maintaining and operating the wastewater facilities. He said right now he is not 100% certain Mass Development will back out but Andrew Gottlieb will be looking into it. Once we get clarity,then we send out letters and ask the Selectmen to join in with the other tows. If Mass Development backs out of it, the Sewer Commission is recommending that Mashpee proceed with the other three towns. Motion: Mr. Lyons moved that if Mass Development backs out of the base we will get together with the Selectmen and the other three towns to acquire, maintain and operate the wastewater facilities at the base with the intent of expanding the facilities to service the towns.

Chairman Fudala said money that is left was to go to UMass Dartmouth. We were hoping to use it instead for representation by GHD on final Commission DRI approval of our full plan. The Chair stated he talked to the Cape Cod Commission and they said there will be no public meeting,this will be a staff level review. They have everything they need because of the DRI process. At this point, we have nothing to spend the money on. He suggested a motion to agree to sign off on the State's Project Completion Certificate because our project is done.
