6 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> February 25, 2019 <br /> Discussion of Proposed Town Meeting Warrant Article— 150th Anniversary Committee, Brian Hyde: <br /> (continued) <br /> The proposed theme of the sesquicentennial celebration is Mashpee Shines—Celebrating 150 Years of <br /> Community, Caring, and Culture. <br /> Mr. Hyde reviewed the timeline of events planned from Thursday, May 28, 2020 through Sunday, May 31, <br /> 2020. This includes the reenactment of the Town of Mashpee in 1870 with a play/musical, a presentation <br /> of 150 faces of Mashpee, a birthday celebration, a basketball game between the police and fire <br /> departments, celebrity appearances, a taste of Mashpee, entertainment/concerts,trolley tours, a time <br /> capsule, a military flyover, clambake and concert. Community endeavors also include fundraising events, <br /> and a food/clothing drive to benefit the homeless, addiction, and veterans. <br /> There was concern regarding the funding of this project as it relates to the procurement laws imposed by <br /> the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If the project confirmed to the rules of Chapter 30B regarding <br /> purchasing, funds if supported would derive from free cash. <br /> In considering this proposal and associated costs, it was recommended the event connect with the Town's <br /> Annual Picnic to bring forth a larger fireworks display and possible barbeque. It was recommended the <br /> Recreation Director be consulted regarding this special events project. The Mashpee Chamber of <br /> Commerce was also suggested as a resource for fundraising as well as for sponsorship. The matter was <br /> taken under advisement at this time. <br /> Discussion and Action on Draft#1 of the May 6 2019 Special and Annual Town Meeting Warrant: <br /> The Board of Selectmen took action on Draft#1 of the May 6, 2019 Special and Annual Town Meeting <br /> warrant as follows; <br /> Special Town Meeting Warrant: <br /> Article #1: To fund a deficit in the Snow& Ice Account—TBD: <br /> Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to approve and recommend Article#1. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 4-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Sherman,yes Selectman Cahalane,yes Selectman Gottlieb,yes <br /> Selectman O'Hara,yes Opposed, none <br />
