6 <br /> Mashpee Select Board <br /> Minutes <br /> July 18, 2022 <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> Tribal MemberIssues: (continued) <br /> There is also a concern regarding boats and jet skis using the pond as contributors to the cyano <br /> bacteria blooms. <br /> It was agreed the Town and Tribe would form a working group to bring forth vetted proposals to <br /> the Select Board for adoption. Specific issues would be discussed further on a case-by-case <br /> basis. <br /> The Tribe having access to Aboriginal Rights has issues regarding locked gates. Collaboration is <br /> required to review access to the roads and wooded areas for hunting and foraging. Open space <br /> acquisition is identified and prioritized by the Tribe. <br /> It was noted in the past there has been illegal dumping,and securing gates at night has alleviated <br /> this concern. The gated area is open during the day, and locked at night. The areas could be <br /> shared, monitored and policed. <br /> Affordable Housing is a concern especially for the Tribal Elders. It was requested the elders <br /> have first preference over non-residents for affordable housing. It appears the elders are <br /> sectioned in one facility on Old Barnstable Road, and not in other senior living establishments in <br /> Mashpee. The Tribal Council requested a change in process as to how Tribal members <br /> applications are received. <br /> The Tribe is interested in securing 12 acres of Attaquin Park to restore the village where many <br /> young Tribal members have a sense of connection. The project would be consistent within the <br /> Town's Historic District. The facility lies near the One Room Schoolhouse and may someday <br /> become a historic destination in the Town of Mashpee. <br /> It was agreed the concept would be further considered with possible Community Preservation <br /> Act funding. <br />
