The petitioners indicated that the purpose of the Article was to bring the Mashpee Water District and the Town 'I <br /> elections together so as to maximize participation in the elections and minimize voter inconvenience. The Mashpee <br /> Water District Board of Water Commissioners supports these goals. <br /> However,the manner in which Article 21 was worded creates a great number of problems,financial and otherwise,for the <br /> Town and the Water District. Several legal opinions have been rendered by regular Counsel, Special Counsel, and Bond <br /> Counsel to the Board of Selectmen and the Mashpee Water District on these issues. <br /> The Mashpee Water District is seeking legislation to change its election dates in order to achieve the goal of streamlining <br /> the elections. However,in order to prevent the many issues and financial problems associated with Article 21,this article <br /> would rescind that vote,and express the Town's support of the Mashpee Water District's efforts to change the election <br /> date. <br /> Print Name Legibly Signature Print Street Address <br /> se <br /> 3 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 <br /> 7 <br /> 8 <br /> I g <br /> 10 <br /> rt��P �� e�{'h'�f�. tx+ ��3..J'. .Y'`i;.. s'Y `r, .+fi` v.Y .ri"��, �;•4 � N k w � h "k-y/r'1`'da ✓�`, d l <br /> �.�;>.?drp'1 ✓t�.Y.: :,7Pv.'�,,r;. w�,i�3 �., y ..r�i�"'1`'.. �'J.�'`i+�,�-' h s ..G'�j,> �s?dF ''+k��$;�.r�%,t�,r ��r,'�Nv `7��.., �i <br /> ...T <br /> ce <br /> Fl <br />
