And to assist the Harbormaster in matters such as aids to <br /> navigation and dredging. He emphasized that our role is advisory and not operational. <br /> A question came forward about any position we might have on the dredging of the Mashpee <br /> River. It was agreed that this was not an idea or project that would fall under matters pertinent <br /> to the Commission. <br /> The discussion continued around the potential to apply for grants for dredging projects that <br /> could have an impact on driving economic growth. Ashly noted that the funding we have <br /> received for the Harbor Managment Plan includes a feasibility study for the dredging of <br /> Ockway Bay and the possibility of a Town marina. Ashly noted that the Town of Mashpee has <br /> no transient moorings to attract boaters to our waters. Ashley also noted that we do not have <br /> any restroom facilities at our ramps and only limited pump out capabilities for Waquoit and <br /> Popponesset Bays. All are detriments to attracting boaters and keeping our waters clean. <br /> Communications&,,,Corres ondence: <br /> None received <br /> Old__Busness <br /> Dinghy Selection Process: There was a quick review of the process and a reconfirmation that <br /> there will be only one dinghy tie up spot per household on the Seconsett Causeway and not <br /> one tie up per mooring issued.
