4.Septic System Status. The Cape Cod Commission has rejected the plan to have the Senior Center septic system linked up to Mashpee Commons, because the Senior Center does not represent regionalized usage. Ernie Virgilio reported that he has been working diligently toward resolving the issue. Ernie, along with a Coastal engineer and Glenn Harrington have a meeting next week in Taunton with the DEP to discuss a waiver that may be required for hookup to the Mashpee Commons septic system. A pumping station will be required for the septic system to service the Police, Fire, Boys& Girls Club, and Senior Center. 5.Permanent electric power will soon be installed on the site. There will bean additional cost of$3,789, an estimate from Statewide, for a 6' x 6' manhole to take three wires through the complex. This will come out of contingency funds. 6.The Water Dept. is billing the Senior Center$2,544 for hookup, including a$500 development charge, $1500 for meter installation, $120 for a fire sprinkler connection, and a one-day$120 inspection fee. The committee unanimously approved the use of contingency funds to pay for the Water Department hookup fees, and the permanent electric power installation fees. 7. Iry reported that a meeting was held last week with the contractor and Hufcor re: installation of the three movable partitions.

Ed reported that Bud Abbott had discovered that the fountain for the patio area was not going to be donated to the Senior Center. After discussion about the cost to purchase a fountain ($1400), and the added expense to provide 2800 feet of electrical wiring, a concrete base, and a pump for a fountain, the committee decided against having a fountain.
