The items were: a proposal for engineering services for Ockway Bay Docks, 664 <br /> Great Neck Rd Mashpee and the proposed changes to Mashpee Mooring Rules and <br /> Regulations. A motion to move the business forward was made by Don MacDonald, seconded <br /> by Dick Noonan. <br /> At this point a second motion was made by Gregg Fraser to move the Great Neck Rd project <br /> forward for discussion purposes only, with no subsequent vote on the matter. After discussion <br /> he withdrew his motion. Following that there was further discussion whether this item should be <br /> on the agenda as a last minute addition without a formal motion. A motion was made by Dick <br /> Noonan to add these two items to the agenda for discussion. This was seconded by Don <br /> MacDonald and unanimously agreed to by all. <br /> At this point a broad discussion took place on the issues surrounding the Great Neck Rd <br /> Project. Issues covered include the overrun in the engineering project cost, sources of funds, <br /> the ability and appropriateness of Waterways assistance, the consistency with Waterways <br /> mission and conformance with State Statutes. <br /> Gregg and Steve made the suggestion that given the complexity of the issue and the need to <br /> deal with this matter with compliance to all pertinent rules and regulations this topic be added to <br /> a regularly scheduled meeting that is published publicly. It was agreed by all present to add to <br /> the agenda of a future meeting. Being that this topic is time sensitive it was agreed to schedule <br /> a Special Meeting on Friday 11/20/2020 to review and take action as appropriate. <br /> The next matter to come forward was the review of the new Mooring Rules & Regulations. A <br /> motion to add to the agenda was made by Gregg Fraser, seconded by Don MacDonald and <br />
