It was noted that these are special public meetings, to be held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, <br /> the first on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. Peter Thomas said it is important that these special <br /> meetings are like workshops, but need to have an outline to follow so we can keep on track and <br /> not let the public control the flow of the meeting. <br /> Ashley will forward regulations from a town similar to what she would like Mashpee to have,to <br /> committee members prior to the meeting. <br /> Area availability will be conducted through shellfish surveys over the next couple of months. <br /> Ashley Fisher will bring to the board once the data is collected. There are 3 potential farm sites: <br /> Great River, Hamblin Pond, and Jehu Pond. Ockway Bay is always a possibility. The Tribe's <br /> site is up in the air.No one is managing the grant,there's a potential for disease if not managed <br /> properly. <br /> Bill Holmes asked what control we have over what they do. Ashley Fisher said because of <br /> the land situation she is staying out of it. They are obligated to grow a certain amount of <br /> oysters. They met the minimum production of what Mashpee requires. Dick Cook said <br /> that's planting, not harvesting. Peter Thomas commented it would be nice to know.

Ashley Fisher said it is 8 acres on prime site <br /> currently not being utilized to its full potential. <br /> Aquaculture Upkeep and Float <br /> Ashley Fisher is talking with the Harbormaster about edits. <br /> New Business <br /> Elect Committee Designations <br /> Peter Thomas announced he will not continue in the role of Chairman of the Committee. There <br /> was discussion about Dick Cook taking on the role. Dick wanted it noted that his only <br /> apprehension was he had been newly elected to the committee and didn't want to step on <br /> anyone's toes. Bill Holmes and Darryl Christensen both stated that they were not interested in <br /> the position. <br /> Bill Holmes motioned to elect Dick Cook as Chairman, seconded by Darryl Christensen. All <br /> voted unanimous in favor. <br /> Peter Thomas has been playing phone tag with Andrew Gottlieb in regards to a liaison. <br /> (This space is reserved for topics that the Chairman did not reasonably anticipate would be <br /> discussed.) <br /> Ashley Fisher had two reports to handout: <br /> Bohnenberger Equipment Layout- Visual aspect is important in this particular grant and they <br /> came up with a gear layout that made everyone happy. <br />
