Mashpee Select Board <br />Minutes <br />February 13, 2023 <br />APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS <br />Public Comment: (continued) <br />Town Manager Rodney C. Collins responded to the comments made by Mr. Dembroski for clarity. It was <br />disclosed that overall, the Town of Mashpee is in very good financial shape. The Town has identified its <br />focus on the priority of wastewater, and is making preparations for clean water. At the last meeting it was <br />stated there is concern with the availability of funds operationally in fiscal year 2025 given the fact the <br />budget is historically rising as a direct result of various cost increases. The Town is not able to make the <br />transfer of one revenue source to another. Community Preservation Act funds cannot be used for <br />wastewater or for operational purposes. Disc golf is therefore not a bigger priority than wastewater. <br />In closing, Lynne Barbee of Surf Drive made a public service announcement on the Local Comprehensive <br />Plan (LCP) workshops. An issue came to light regarding the shortage of drivers who are much needed to <br />transport seniors and others to various appointments. Further information can be found by calling the <br />Senior Center/Council on Aging. The commitment to transport those in need is flexible. <br />Public Hearing: New Livery, Vehicle for Hire Service Application, Amy Perry Erickson: <br />The Mashpee Select Board acting as the Local Licensing Authority for the Town of Mashpee opened the <br />Public Hearing on the application of Amy Perry Erickson for the operation of (1) vehicle for Livery/Vehicle <br />for Hire Service. The Hearing notice was read aloud into the record for informational purposes. <br />Ms. Erickson was in attendance to further review this request with the Select Board. Ms. Erickson indicated <br />the main focus of this operation is to transport persons to the Logan and T.F. Green Airports. <br />It was disclosed no personal shall engage in the business of transporting persons for hire in a vehicle, <br />whether a taxi cab or livery, without having obtained a permit from the Select Board to include the <br />designation of the number of vehicles to be used under such permit. The applicant is also required to submit <br />a copy of the vehicle registration and a certificate of liability insurance to the Town of Mashpee. <br />The vehicle to be used by the applicant is also required to be inspected by the local Police Department. It <br />was agreed the applicant would contact the Town Manager's Office to review the process to ensure all <br />procedures are in place. <br />Being no public comment, the Select Board motioned as follows; <br />Motion made by Selectman Sherman to close the Public Hearing. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br />Roll Call vote: <br />Selectman Weeden, yes Selectman Cotton, yes Selectman O'Hara, yes <br />Selectman Sherman, yes Selectman Wyman -Colombo, yes Opposed, none <br />
