The <br /> letter was addressed to Commissioners of the Department of Fish and Game,Department of Conservation <br /> and Recreation and Department of Environmental Protection to be copied to Governor Charles Baker. <br /> It was disclosed the Board has requested clarification on the intent of this project, however information <br /> has not been made available. It was noted the MA National Guard has indicated they would be available <br /> to attend the Selectmen's Meeting of August 9, 2021,but a brief specific to the proposed gun range would <br /> be required to be coordinated separately. <br /> Most towns abutting the base have opposed this project because of the critical environment on Cape Cod <br /> and the need for clean drinking water. The letter states the Guard has completely ignored the <br /> overwhelming public opposition to this project and have failed to gain the public's trust as responsible <br /> stewards of the reserve. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to approve the Letter opposing the Multi-Purpose Machine <br /> Gun Range proposed by the Massachusetts National Guard. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Weeden. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Sherman, yes Selectman Weeden, yes Selectman Gottlieb,yes <br /> Selectman Cotton, yes Selectman O'Hara,yes Opposed, none <br />
