9 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> April 5, 1999 <br /> APPOINTMENTS AND HEARINGS: <br /> Jose h Potzka re: Mashpgep Trolley Service: (continued) <br /> It is the consensus of the Board to obtain further information with respect <br /> to the proposal of the CCRTA. The matter will be placed on the <br /> Selectmen's agenda of April 26, 1999. <br /> Public Hearing—Shellfish Hearin : <br /> Selectman Marsters opened the Public Hearing on the proposed Shellfish <br /> Regulations for the 1999 Season. Richard York,the Shellfish Constable <br /> was present to discuss the regulations with the Board and interested <br /> public. <br /> One long-standing agreement is to share Waquoit Bay for shellfishing <br /> with the Town of Falmouth. The other is the acceptance of the <br /> Wampanoag Tribal Identification Cards as alternatives to shellfish permits <br /> (under agreement with the tribe, the Mashpee Shellfish Regulations apply <br /> to tribal shellfishing). <br /> Additional changes include the increase in catch limits for family and <br /> commercial shellfishing informed Mr. York. The changes would also <br /> make our catch limits the same as Falmouth's catch limits which would <br /> simplify the management of Waquoit Bay. <br /> The regulations also propose to allow commercial shellfishing on Sundays <br /> in the winter. Scuba diving for shellfish in Nantucket Sound is an <br /> additional shellfish regulation proposal. <br /> Being no public comment, Selectman Marsters requested a vote from the <br /> Board to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Taylor to close the Public Hearing. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Leveille. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 4-0. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Taylor to.approve the proposed Shellfish <br /> Regulations for the 19" Season as presented. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Leveille. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 4-0. <br />
