municipalities, private conservation trusts or other entities or persons in connection with the
<br /> purchase and management of such land and its preservation for conservation purposes, including
<br /> the grant of conservation restrictions on the land; and finally, to see if the Town will authorize
<br /> the Board of Selectmen to enter into agreements and execute any and all instruments as may be
<br /> necessary on behalf of the Town to effectuate said acquisition, sale, transfer or preservation; or
<br /> take any other action relating thereto.
<br /> Submitted by Board of Selectmen
<br /> Explanation: This, article re-writes Article 12 of the October 1, 2001 Town Meeting to allow
<br /> for the purchase of all property owned by the developers of the proposed "Cape Club" golf
<br /> course and/or within the boundary of the proposed development 'including a parcel not
<br /> contiguous to the original site. Additionally, the new article adds language that will allow for the
<br /> possible purchase of the entire proposed golf project in a joint venture with the Town of
<br /> Barnstable and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under terms, and conditions to be
<br /> negotiated. Language in the original article unintentionally precluded acceptance of$3,200,000
<br /> of State funds and a cooperative management agreement with the Town of Barnstable that may
<br /> be necessary for the purchase of the entire parcel. The present article accommodates as many
<br /> scenarios as possible while continuing to allow for the possibility that Mashpee alone can
<br /> purchase any portion of the proposed project should it become available.
<br /> Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval.
<br /> Motion made to dispense with reading of article.
<br /> Motion to dispense with reading of article passes at 7:40 p.m.
<br /> Motion made by David Leveille.
