Deputies Andro, Bobby, and Rick San Angelo are all actively patrolling, and assistant harbor <br /> masters have been directed to monitor known hot spots and closed areas. He encouraged any <br /> committee members or public observers to report suspicious activity directly to him. <br /> Chair Thomas shared a recent experience at a local shellfish site where he observed Deputy <br /> Tyler interacting with a family. Chair Thomas praised Tyler's professionalism and respectful <br /> demeanor, noting how the family appreciated being educated, not reprimanded. Chair Thomas <br /> stated it was rare to hear compliments in public service and emphasized how these positive <br /> experiences help foster community trust. <br /> The Shellfish Constable agreed, adding that he is working to streamline the shellfish <br /> regulations from 28 pages down to 7 as his goal is to increase compliance by making rules <br /> more readable and easier to understand. <br /> Additional Comments and Observations <br /> Chair Thomas commended the team for their success with rapid oyster growth. He attributed this <br /> to consistent upweller maintenance, especially during high summer temperatures. The Shellfish <br /> Constable confirmed that gear is cleaned every three days, an essential practice when water <br /> temperatures exceed 78°F. <br /> Chair Thomas also reiterated concerns about the Mashpee Neck ramp, noting that eventually <br /> someone will need to take responsibility for the poor construction. He mentioned that in most <br /> projects, a Clerk of the Works is responsible for certifying that construction meets design <br /> specifications and suggested this issue might escalate if accountability is not addressed. <br /> ADDITIONAL TOPICS: <br /> N/A <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> MOTION To adjourn. <br /> Motion by: Chris Avis Seconded bv: Daryl Christensen <br /> Vote: The Motion passed unanimously. <br /> Meeting adjourned at 6:23pm. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Gina Gonsalves <br /> Board Secretary <br /> List of Documents: <br /> • Meeting Minutes of May 13, 2025 <br /> • Shellfish Constable Report- June 2025 <br /> 5 <br />
