M 16 Great .Neck Road.North. 9►lasGyee, Nassachusetts 02649 Mr. Lehrer is pleased to report a small sign along Main St. listing 17 acre parcel for sale on Mashpee Wakeby. He has been talking to the property owners informally and they are firmly committed to selling the piece to the town for conservation. He has yet to have a preliminary meeting along with the Conservation Agent. It will be their goal to file a joint application with the Conservation Commission on the potential acquisition, following a third party appraisal. Ms. Waygan informed him they don't have enough money in the bank to cover these. He will need to start that conversation about bonding. We are going to have to borrow money for those two purchases so close together. There is the park grant, which is state money that reimburses 50% if you do it right. You have to have the capacity to buy it solo because the town reimburses you. Other towns bond out for that purchase and the state reimburses. We used to do it with the Land Bank. The Cape Cod Land Bank ended in 2020. The Finance Department got them in shape so they paid off land bank bills. If we stopped the CPC in 2020 there wouldn't be any debt, the CPC has no debt. She is hoping they will be in support of the bonding. It isn't often these opportunities come up, 17 acres is a huge opportunity.
