16 Great Neck Road North <br />.9vlashpee,-Massachusetts 02649 <br />Sign signatory page for the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds and Land Court <br />Registry. <br />The signatory page was passed around for Board members signatures. <br />Update and discussion with Chad Smith, Sewer Commission Chair, relative to the <br />upcoming August 11, 2023 deadline for State Revolving Fund (SRF) Application to <br />Mass DEP. <br />Mr. Smith stated this is a very different conversation he is having after the devastating blow to <br />lose Ray Jack. The support from likely and unlikely sources has been immediate. It is a great <br />burden that was left and none of us are civil engineers. Mr. Smith has stepped in to be the <br />communication and the Town Manager has picked up day to day funding. What we have done <br />is wrapped all considerations into one team effort surging ahead. At the Select Board they <br />introduced a plan to proceed and address funds to keep this project rolling without the strong <br />guidance we had. He would like to say more but there is more work he will be doing and the <br />Town Manager's office will be doing. They plan to present the scope Monday night and it will <br />not be easy, he speaks only as the Chair tonight. The Commission has not convened since <br />his passing, this was done as emergency response efforts. <br />Ms. Faulkner commented that he can appear before the Select Board and take questions and <br />the Planning Board can meet with him again in the future. <br />Mr. Smith said they have some well thought out ideas and it's the appropriate thing to do to go <br />to the Select Board first. For those that are concerned, a contractor came in and gave a <br />thorough insight into what to expect. When you see the stake that's when you call a contractor <br />and get multiple estimates, then the contractor will place the stake. There will be time to get it <br />done. There is a 90 day extension. Relax for now, when you see that stake, make the call. We <br />know this is already a burden on households. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated his office gets numerous calls about the sewer. One was from a man who <br />just moved here in the phase 1 zone and during road construction his stake showed up. He <br />was concerned he missed his opportunity to move it. The road had been patched, and the <br />stake was in the ground, but road work does not mean last opportunity to meet. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Discuss Planning Board priorities to bring to the Charter Review Committee <br />Ms. Waygan brought forth the idea of having flexibility with respect to appointment of boards, <br />committees, and commissions. In the case of long term vacancies of six months or more, the <br />Select Board could offer the position to an elected official. She offered a compromise because <br />it was not well received at first. There will need to be some type of language so they could be <br />appointed if there were chronic vacancies. <br />11 <br />
