Mr. Dunn asked if the changes/savings affect the SRF. Chris Gallagher said no, you don't have <br /> to spend the amount you qualify for, the money just has to be in the scope of the original SRF. <br /> We're getting the same product, just cheaper. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb said we need the 2 condos to make the project worthwhile. Ms. Malone agreed that <br /> we have to incorporate them. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb asked if there's sufficient time for GHD to do pressure for Sea Oaks and gravity for <br /> Summerwood, per Chris Gallagher's suggestion. It has to be bid out and part of the SRF. He'll <br /> find out where legal is on the discussions with Summerwood. Mr. Lyons asked if everyone was <br /> in agreement on this, everyone said yes. <br /> Mr. Lyons said some buildings have 6 households and asked about the pumps. Chris Gallagher <br /> answered that each building would have 1 grinder pump instead of 1 septic. He worked with Mr. <br /> Lyons' contact in Chatham and compared what we have to what they've done and modified it to <br /> work for Mashpee. <br /> Discussion: Phase 2 and future sewer areas: <br /> Mr. Lyons said we need to make the public understand that we're just getting started. The 25 <br /> year sewer plan was designed to assist with other efforts like shellfish, fertilizer, etc... we're <br /> trying to get this done in less than 25 years, but still needs to work with everything else. <br /> Chris Gallagher said the idea is to build a plant, and then get everything to that plant. It's going <br /> to be a long process and we need to get some numbers/estimates on it. Mr. Lyons said we need <br /> to know what each option will cost us so we can go to Town Meeting. <br /> Mr. Gottlieb said we need to address the ponds as valuable water sources. We'll need to work <br /> with Sandwich on that, they have concerns and are ready to move. Sandwich and Barnstable <br /> are part of the IMA, that gives us the framework. We have an opportunity to take advantage <br /> and accelerate, I think we'd have a lot of support at the spring Town Meeting. The Sewer <br /> Commission should schedule a meeting with Sandwich and I'll go with you. <br /> Schedule Subcommittee meeting: <br /> The Commission decided that if meeting more frequently, the need for a subcommittee no <br /> longer exists. <br /> Town Engineer Report: N/A <br /> Correspondence: N/A <br /> Additional Topics: <br /> (This space is reserved for topics that the Chairman did not reasonably anticipate <br /> would be discussed.) <br /> Ashley Fisher, from DNR gave an update on the Mashpee River. They deployed staff to remove <br /> oysters that were dying because of algae blooms. This isn't something new, it happened in the <br /> 90's, but is reoccurring again. We really need to get sewering. Mr. Lyons said we're moving as <br /> fast as we can. We can have the plans ready so when the money is available we can get <br /> moving. Ms. Malone asked Ashley Fisher if we could get some photographs of the <br /> algae/damage. Most people can't process the numbers, a visual really helps. <br /> Mr. Lyons suggested that going forward, each member of the Commission gets the floor at each <br /> meeting to comment on anything they feel is necessary. <br />
