3 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> . Minutes <br /> June 6, 2005 <br /> APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: <br /> Public Comment: (continued) <br /> William Martiros indicated that he has lived on John's Pond since 1968. <br /> He asked why the Town does not follow the same rules that are laid out <br /> for the maintenance of the flume at John's Pond. Mr. Martiros made note <br /> of the initial permit which pre-determined the height level in the pond. <br /> Ralph Marcelli suggested that a committee be formed to manage the level <br /> of water flow at the pond. <br /> In response, Selectman Green indicated the Town is taking prudent steps <br /> to lower the water levels as fast as possible. It was noted that 926,000 <br /> cubic feet of water flows out of the pond and into the river daily. The <br /> Mashpee Wakeby Pond is in the middle of a water zone of contribution <br /> that encompasses 4018 acres,which means the pond is collecting water <br /> from areas outside of Mashpee. <br /> The Selectmen did not get into further detail as the matter was not an <br /> agenda topic for discussion. Perry Ellis, Harbormaster/Herring Warden <br /> was present,but did not comment at this time. <br /> Joyce Mason,the Town Manager stated that Mr. Ellis would remove an <br /> additional 2x4 board on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week once the <br /> Department of Public Works has removed the sand build-up that is <br /> partially blocking the dam. <br /> For the record, it was stated the Harbormaster/Herring Warden maintains <br /> control of the water level at the ponds. <br />
