I Article 2 To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and transfer from available funds $65,000 to the Mashpee Memorial Park Account, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Board of Selectmen Explanation: The Town of Mashpee, in conjunction with the Mashpee 2000 Committee, a private, not for profit group organized to mark the coming of a new millenium for Mashpee, is working on the construction of a Memorial Park in Mashpee. This small project is an important step for our Town in that it is our first park dedicated to honoring those who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy, and will also serve as a long-standing, inspiring and beautiful gift to the residents of Mashpee. The site of the park is the prominent location at the corner of Great Neck Road North and Route 130, directly across from the Town Hall at the site of"Collins Lot". The park's attractive design includes a memorial to honor Mashpee Veterans who have served in all wars, as well as a platform for outdoor performances and a kiosk for Mashpee events. In order for the park to be a successful project, it is critical to receive community support and funding to aid the Town's efforts. The total cost of the park will be about$130,000. The Mashpee 2000 Park Committee has requested funding from the Town for approximately half of the total cost, with the remainder to be raised through community pledges. Recommendation: The Finance Committee recommends approval. Motion made by Selectman Taylor. Motion: I move the Town vote to appropriate and transfer from revenue available for appropriation$65,000 to the Mashpee Memorial Park Account.
