Ms. Waygan <br /> asked if Joint Base Cape Cod has any plans to remove and remediate what is contaminating our drinking water. <br /> Michael Rapacz was in attendance representing the Mashpee-Wakeby Lake Committee urging the Town to <br /> accelerate the sewering program to over 10-12 years versus a 25-year program. At the last Selectmen's Meeting <br /> Dr. Howes spoke of the bleak state of estuarine water quality in Waquoit and Popponesset Bays along with the <br /> cyanobacteria contaminating the freshwater ponds. It was the recommendation of Dr. Howes to speed up <br /> sewering now to address the Town's water quality problems. Mr. Rapacz read aloud a letter with respect to this <br /> regard. <br /> In other matters Arden Russell Cadrin commented on her memorandum to the Select Board Chair Carol A. <br /> Sherman dated August 9, 2021 regarding the Mashpee Commons Development Agreement. Ms. Russell <br /> discussed the Mashpee Commons Development Agreement process as it has been five months since the March <br /> 5, 2021 deadline for Mashpee Commons to submit a completed Development Agreement application. <br /> Questions were asked as to why the applicant now has until June 2022 to submit a completed application. It was <br /> strongly recommended that all review of the Mashpee Commons expansion project be halted until there is a <br /> certified and complete Development Agreement for this project. <br /> Chairman Sherman responded by stating the Town will not move forward with any zoning changes until a <br /> Development Agreement has been received. <br />
