6 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> February 22, 2021 <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Update Discussion and Possible Action Relative to COVID-19: <br /> To date there has been 659 positive cases of COVID-19 with 27 persons in isolation. There are no reported <br /> cases on this date. <br /> Correspondence was received from the Board of Health regarding notice received from the Department of Public <br /> Health on February 17, 2021 advising that individual municipalities are not eligible to receive dosages of the <br /> vaccination. Regional site locations in the State of Massachusetts will receive vaccinations administering at <br /> minimum 750 shots per day, 5 days per week. Regional sites will be open to all eligible persons in the state. <br /> Through a regional collaborative effort, local homebound and low-income persons would receive on site <br /> vaccinations. <br /> Update Discussion and Possible Action Relative to Wastewater Proiect(s): <br /> Discussion of and Approval of Adding Articles to the May 3 2021 Special and Annual Town Meeting Warrant: <br /> Additional articles to be considered for the May Town Meeting warrant include a Flow Neutral Bylaw. The <br /> Board is awaiting an opinion from Town Counsel. This may be achieved through action by the Board of Health <br /> or by Sewer Commission regulation. A detennination should be provided by the next Select Board Meeting. <br /> The Town is also awaiting an opinion from Town Counsel to ensure there are no requirements for <br /> Legislation under the mandates of Article 97. One of the six proposed pump station sites is proposed to be <br /> located on unrestricted conservation land off of Mashpee Neck Road. If this is not an option a site has been <br /> identified directly across the street on property owned by Willowbend. A Town Meeting article would be <br /> necessary to obtain an easement if this is the selected site location. <br /> It was recommended the Department of Natural Resources be directed to review in-house data on the nutrient <br /> loading of Mashpee's lakes and ponds and possibly provide an analysis that would assist in remediation plans. <br /> If the DNR lacks the capacity to conduct an analysis, it may be feasible to authorize funds for outside consulting <br /> services to conduct additional studies to bring forth solutions to remedy the degrading lakes and ponds in the <br /> Town of Mashpee. <br /> Discussion of Comcast Contract Negotiations: <br /> Select Board members were requested to participate in negotiations for contracted cable services provided by <br /> Comcast. Select Board members John J. Cotton and Carol A. Sherman will partake in the negotiation process <br /> planned to be held in mid-April. <br />
