d <br />Board of Selectmen <br />Minutes <br />October 4, 2021 <br />Present: Selectman Carol A. Sherman, Selectman David W. Weeden, Selectman Andrew R. Gottlieb, <br />Selectman John J. Cotton, Selectman Thomas F. O'Hara <br />Town Manager Rodney C. Collins <br />Assistant Town Manager Wayne E. Taylor <br />Meeting Called to Order by Chairman Sherman at 6:30 p.m. <br />Mashpee Town Hall, Waquoit Meeting Room <br />APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS <br />Public Comment: <br />Susan Dangle was in attendance representing the Mashpee/Wakeby Pond Alliance. The working group has <br />been proactive and is supportive of the Sewer Commission's recommendation to accelerate the timeline for the <br />projected Phase II wastewater plan. Last week several members of the alliance attended the Town of <br />Sandwich Board of Selectmen's meeting as well as the Town of Mashpee's Mashpee/Wakeby Lake <br />Management Committee meeting in support of clean water initiatives. Additional algal blooms have been <br />reported on the lake surface areas and along the western shores. The Alliance is awaiting the results of the <br />Board of Health's research and it is hopeful this topic would be scheduled as a future agenda topic of review. <br />Selectman John J. Cotton after reading a ridiculous statement on social media stated that it is unfortunate that <br />some material is read by others and believed as factual. Those choosing this type of nonsensical information in <br />their words should be careful of potential consequences. <br />Discussion and Approval of Eminent Domain Orders of Taking for Public Sanitary Sewer Purposes <br />of the Following: Antunes Avenue, Christopher Lane, Egret Court, Rainbow Lane, and Pine Road: <br />The Board of Selectmen reviewed the Eminent Domain Orders of Taking necessary for the laying of pipes <br />on the above referenced roadways for Public Sanitary Sewer and Drain System purposes as approved by a vote <br />of Town Meeting. All owners have been notified by certified mail. <br />Rachel M. Hicks Pine Road in concern for the trees and vegetation asked if the piping was going to be laid in <br />the mid -section or along the side of the road, and if the road would be returned to its original state after <br />construction. Under State financing guidelines the portion of the road that is disrupted is repaired to its <br />original condition. To ensure the road has the least disruption it was recommended that concerns be addressed <br />with Christopher Gallagher the Town Engineer. <br />As an option residents may engage in a taking process for a road conversion from private to public. <br />It was noted that road construction may also provide the opportunity to install water and gas lines. <br />Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to approve the (5) Orders of Taking as referenced necessary for <br />Public Sanitary Sewer Purposes. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <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 />
