Mr. Bates indicated that a special meeting was held on June 27, 1998 to discuss this matter. The motion: "Move that the Board of Directors of the Popponesset Beach Association work with the Town of Mashpee and do all possible to assure proper enforcement of"No on Street" parking regulations,"carried by a margin of 285 to 61. Selectman Frye opened the discussion to obtain public comment. Fred Blythe, Wading Place Road urged the Board to enforce the no parking restriction in an effort to provide safety in the community. Discussion followed.
