-2- <br /> Richard reported on the powder post beetle infestation in the schoolhouse. He will <br /> check with Catherine and arrange a date for the treatment which she said will last for <br /> fifty years. <br /> He mentioned that he had seen Brian Weeden at the Library, and Brian said that he had <br /> no objection to renaming the Ancient Cemeteries. However, Ava would like a letter from <br /> him to keep for our records. Richard was told that the Selectmen could vote on this, <br /> and it would not require an Article on the Warrant for the October 2023 Town Meeting. <br /> Richard also brought up that we need to have the CPC signs posted at the War <br /> Memorial and the Schoolhouse stating that some of the funding was from the CPC. <br /> Richard is working with Grafton at Baker Monument to get an estimate on resetting the <br /> stones up at the Bourne Cemetery. Catherine is still working on the landscaping for the <br /> monument. <br /> Catherine will have the Mashpee River signs put up. The one on Route 28 (State <br /> highway) will have to be approved by the State before installing. He would like the <br /> approval of the Commission to have the additional signs made up for the Quashnet <br /> River, and the cost of the additional 4 signs would be $600, but he would like approval <br /> from the Commission before spending the additional funds. Rosemary moved that we <br /> approve spending up to $600 for the four Quashnet River signs, and the motion was <br /> unanimously approved. <br /> Ava brought up the fact that Lenny Pocknett would like to join our Commission, and we <br /> have to see how the new process of approving an applicant would work to get him <br /> approved. The Mashpee Historical Commission would very much like to have him join. <br /> Richard told us that the dates of September 24th or October 8t" would work for the <br /> students who are to receive our 2022 Historical Preservation Awards. We voted to have <br /> the recognition ceremony and our Open House on the same day, either October8 or 9tn <br /> The Awards have been received, and are similar to what we have presented previously. <br /> Members of the Commission should be thinking about suggestions for our Open House <br /> in October, and we will further discuss this at our September meeting. One suggestion <br /> was to display photos of people/faces of Mashpee. Ava set the date as September 14tn <br /> for our next meeting. <br /> Richard made a motion to adjourn, and it was voted unanimously at 6:30 pm. <br /> s <br /> Respectfully submitted <br /> Ann Graham, Sr. Clerk <br />
