be a Resource Plan for the ACEC. Mr. Tomaino added that having the Conservation Commission as a first or second layer would be helpful. In response, Mr. McManus needed clarification of what type of involvement would be required from the Conservation Commission. Ms. Fisher noted the Conservation Commission RDA would depend on whether there was intent to attach a 10A to land – under the Wetlands Protection Act. Ms. Fisher finished that the annual mooring fee would still apply. Mr. McManus noted that a NOI would require a condition that the 10A cannot be maintained in perpetuity or transferred over, which was problematic since an Order of Conditions needs to be recorded against a deed. Ms. Fisher noted that 10A floats in Falmouth do go through the Conservation Commission and suggested speaking to Falmouth about what they do. Mr. Tomaino concurred. In response to Mr. McManus, Ms. Fisher original the intent of 10A was to add dock space. Mr. Tomaino noted that they were now being used in other ways like putting a trampoline on them. Mr. McManus lamented the introduction of piping to stabilize the 10A float and other mechanisms detrimental to the environment, noting such mechanisms were a violation. Mr. McManus noted the Conservation Commission does not allow 10A floats on plans since there were so many examples of violations in the ACEC. Mr. Tomaino noted if they do this right there won’t be so many problematic 10A floats.  Informational “Pop-ups”& Scheduling – Octoberfest Ms. Fisher asked if there was someone who could hand out handbills at the event (this Saturday). Ms. Fisher noted that the event is from 9 to 4. No one was available to go, but Mr. McManus thought he could speak to Dan Kent and Ms. Fisher thought she could ask Peter to hand out flyers too. Mr. Tomaino indicated he would speak to Mary Bradbury as well. NEW BUSINESS  Discussion of the Look and Feel of the Plan - LCP Ms. Fisher wanted to talk about the look and feel and lamented about Mr. Lehrer’s absence.

However, Ms. Fisher expressed flexibility of Mr. Lehrer speaking in the future about the Plan and submission to UHI  Review of Draft Section: UHI Update Updating the Committee, Ms. Novelly stated UHI is updating the background section adding that the Committee member interviews have been very helpful as well as the Public Meeting. Ms. Novelly stated that more information was necessary before sharing a final draft. There is a need to do an engagement with Mashpee Wampanoag and Mashpee Village prior to completing UHI’s work. \[Ms. Fisher thought it was important to have approval at the Town level and the Mashpee Wampanoag level – setting a good precedent going forward.\]
