Proposed Walking Trail on Mashpee Neck Road (continued) explained the trail would meander down the road so that no trees will have to be removed. As to signage, DPW will look at need for signage, if any, when the trail is completed. Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to support the proposed walking trail on Mashpee Neck Road. Motion seconded by Selectman Cook. VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0 COMMUNICATIONS AND CORRESPONDENCE: Mashpee River Update: Town Manager Joyce Mason said Mr. Hanks reported the first round of testing has been completed and they should have findings in a week or two and then another round of testing would be done. After Joyce Mason hears back from Mr. Hanks, he will be placed on the Selectmen Meeting Agenda. South Cape Beach Update: DPW Director Greg Taylor said they are looking at beach nourishment holding as it is. He reported they are looking to pool together use of GEO- Tubes and GEO-Mats as a combination beneath the pavement to be permitted for future use so that when a storm does occur and we need to do replacement we can put more than just sand back there. But we have to have the approval in advance in order to be able to use it; we can't have it approved as an emergency order at the time of the concern. Greg said we would need to continue nourishing. The new order is different; it is not within beach'area it is underneath the pavement. As noted in Greg Taylor's January 5, 2007 memo (attached), Conservation Commission approval extending the Beach Nourishment permit to February 13, 2010 was recently received. Greg has started talking with BSE group because they've done GEO work. NEW BUSINESS: South Mashpee Fire Substation Owner's Project Manager: Town Manager Joyce Mason asked the Board of Selectmen to authorize her to enter into contract negotiations with Pomeroy Associates for the purpose of their serving as the Owner's Project Manager for the South Mashpee Fire Substation project as outlined in her January 4, 2007 memo (attached). Two questions were raised: Can contract be negotiated and can we select Clerk of the Works? Town Manager responded"yes"to both.
