The petitioners indicated that the purpose of the Article was to bring the Mashpee Water District and the Town <br /> elections together so as to maximize participation in the elections and minimize voter inconvenience. The Mashpee t, <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 /> � a V i ' <br /> _ G' ��- "1 .-✓Vl C ' y +� gra <br /> 4 r <br /> rAoci in e, MC4-5h9e e- <br /> 7tall!a S11Q AoL 7) <br /> DeLrk id pn-4 CV8 <br /> 9 <br /> 10 <br /> -+ h <br /> .?tpz'},u� '�� Yr•� j�'�.:fi.='}`�e�'1;�t�1f1�f� ,L"�k�' �� t r, "�i�' '���.1�;1'`.}elG kj-i{�u� jJ��`r�.rs5 �r{�K 1�Ar3�� y`N'4z�,;>'.1 �/i��['„H'A2 le jl s'kY i °� y7 <br /> is � � <br />
