ro <br /> MASHPEE SEWER COMMISSION <br /> TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2008 <br /> MASHPEE TOWN HALL <br /> Members Present: Don Desmaris, Tom Fudala, Matt Berrelli <br /> Also Present: Gerry Potamus, Falmouth <br /> Stearns and_Wheler update: <br /> The consultants have satisfied the requests of SMaSt who now have a database they <br /> can use. The review process can begin. There is no completion date set. <br /> The'5 scenario versions were sent to SMaST in March. <br /> A quote regarding this project in the CC Times made is seem that SMaSt was being <br /> unresponsive. Tom said the quote was incomplete and he wants to clarify that <br /> statement tonight; that is not the case. <br /> The subsurface investigation is on hold. The Sewer Commission told S & W to pursue <br /> State archeological and Natural Heritage on all the potential sites. They have not put a <br /> package together yet for those submissions. The species of concern is the eastern box <br /> turtle and grasshopper sparrow. <br /> Hopefully the investigation work will be allowed but a facility would require much more, <br /> in depth work. <br /> Regina Villa: at the last meeting, everyone agreed RV would provide a proposal for 3 <br /> brochures and work on a website. <br /> Gerry Potamus, said in Falmouth, they have a separarte web page which their in house <br /> GIS department set up. He does not know how many hits it has gotten. <br /> Tom has sent all the SRF paperwork into the State. Loan re-financing should be <br /> complete in December. <br /> Meeting with Selectmen: <br /> S & W sent them the executive summary from the scenarios. Tom thinks they need <br /> something briefer and something that explains the entire project. <br /> Matt thinks the Fin Com wants to know more about the costs. Tom said they already <br /> received the spreadsheet. <br /> A subcommittee is being developed to look at funding options. That is part of S & W <br /> contract, to make recommendations for funding. <br /> The Sewer Commission has authority over fees and charges. <br /> There was an editorial in the Mashpee Enterprise supporting the concept of the Water <br /> District participating in a sewer district. Tom said maybe this will have an effect on the <br /> other water district commissioners. <br /> Matt said we are not asking them to become a Sewer District without proper support to <br /> do it. The mind set has to change. <br />
