AGENDA ITEMS Lombardo Associates The Chairman reported that the SRF Pirates Cove PRB loan application has been submitted to the State on time. Mashpee must now wait to see if the project will be placed on the"Intended Use" list, which will establish whether or not the Town receives funding. A bill from Pio Lombardo for the cost of drafting the application, and in the amount of$5000, has been submitted to the Board of Selectmen. No vote is needed to process the bill as the bill is being processed by the Town Manager. A bill has been submitted to the Sewer Commission by Mr. Lombardo, in the amount of$731.25,to compensate him for his attendance at the August 17a' meeting. The Chair stated that the hours amounted to 3.75 at $125 per hour. Commissioners questioned the bill and the Chair responded that Contract Addendum #1 states that Mr. Lombardo will attend meetings and participate in developing the Town's facility plan at an hourly rate. The Chair further stated that a similar agreement is in place with SMaST where both Dr. Howes and Mr. Eichner attend meetings for a flat fee of$500, but that the Chair did not invite SMaST to attend this evening due to cost and a contract limit of$3000. It was clarified that all consultants attend at the invitation of the Chair. GHD is not paid separately to attend meetings. Upon his arrival to the meeting, Mr. Lombardo informed the Commission that he bills only a small portion of his travel as he has a round trip 3 hour commute.
