H <br />Mashpee Select Board <br />Minutes <br />June 6, 2022 <br />APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS <br />Discussion mus .. �.. ppw _rol.aosed Great RiverBoatRamp Parking Recreation Director Mai°_,Bradb T ; <br />and A .rovalm of Pmmm <br />Mary K. Bradbury, Recreation Director was in attendance to review a proposed pilot program with the Select <br />Board to provide Summer Gate Attendants at the Great River Boat Ramp. Fees would be charged to offset the <br />cost of staffing at the site. A $15 fee is proposed to non-resident and non -sticker holder patrons to launch <br />watercraft vessels. A $25 fee would be imposed to park associated vehicles along the straight-away entry road <br />as posted. Non-residents and non -sticker holders would not be allowed to park in the designated resident <br />sticker -holder parker area located adjacent to the boat launch site. <br />Ms. Bradbury explained this is an enforcement issue. Non-resident and non -sticker holder trailers and <br />associated vehicles are parking in the resident sticker holders only parking spaces. The violations have not been <br />enforced and this has created high -use of the boat ramp, traffic congestion and frustration from resident sticker - <br />holders. <br />To move forward collaboratively two staff members are proposed in the pilot program during beach season <br />hours with an emphasis on weekends. A shed, table, chairs and items of like would be required. Funding <br />would derive from the fees. If supported by the Select Board, the start cost is estimated at $5,000. <br />It was noted the Town is receiving a good pool of candidates for seasonal positions. In this program, staffing <br />would not be taken from other areas. In the future the Town may consider additional staffing to monitor the <br />Ockway and Baker boat ramps. <br />Motion made by Selectman Weeden to authorize the Recreation Director to move forward with the <br />Summer Gate Attendant proposal at the Great River Boat Ramp if seasonal staffing is adequately <br />provided. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman Sherman. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br />Roll Call Vote: <br />Selectman Gottlieb, yes Selectman Weeden, yes Selectman Cotton, yes <br />Selectman O'Hara, yes Selectman Sherman, yes Opposed, none <br />
