She noted increasing public pressure in Barnstable for the airport to take <br />greater environmental responsibility. <br />LIAISON REPORTS <br />Selectman Cotton o?ered praise to the Mashpee High School Class of 2025 for their recent <br />graduation and commended the smooth and well-organized ceremony. <br />Selectwoman Kelley-Wilson reported that yesterday’s Race Amity event was a lovely <br />cultural celebration, featuring dancing, live music, and many informational tables. <br />Chair Wyman-Colombo announced that tomorrow the Director of Federal Funds will be at <br />4C from 9 to 11 a.m. She encouraged attendance and noted that registration is still open. <br />WATER QUALITY UPDATES <br />Chair Wyman-Colombo expressed anticipation for moving forward with the article in <br />October. <br />TOWN MANAGER UPDATES <br />The agenda included discussion of Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC) topics: the proposed <br />Sandwich Gate closure, the MassDevelopment partnership on a Master Plan, and <br />Barnstable’s request for a feasibility study regarding a joint military/commercial airport at <br />JBCC.
