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 <br /> Water District Board of Water Commissioners supports these goals. E <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 /> OL- f; <br /> aGq <br /> 4 AM s �'9ti��'otQA� $+ xxx-Cw"Vk 0al (�J 1c l��c 3�PCSt�icK � it-/��y6L Atft1 ,GC.ti.� f <br /> g 30 6 t44, ree,7 e azo g <br /> S f <br /> t`4G f'y�''r�#�`���'�3 <br /> ` <br /> 7".t����`Yt`•y`.d�'-'*r i.''7 ��t.:.'i! ,eiy#' `Yr.��r14z,,r`"l 'i� y .,f+a�,.� -.r',.Iref-✓,:f t.l+zsl r ' "�✓) lji#''7J n 4-Jlx z�;�:�`£ j�. j a Y z t.v�� i�..� <br /> ...�1!#� S z'�d s�A3r�i�}�,�3??r�za''� r��i�'' �#Z r z d � 1 �z 34 k� r@�'tw u� 12.(}3 fY '�Y"Ft�I&�I i+.,<Yt a J {<?5��>� s�1}t'�: rr�.k J� u,✓u.�J P 5�2°�+y,f ai£ "...a..✓•"�� <br /> rtt' <br /> # <br />
