Town of Mashpee Sewer Commission <br /> t <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> that Summerwood had already contributed land for the project,so residents should not be left with a <br /> degraded visual environment. Ms. Harris thanked her for her comments and confirmed her concerns <br /> would be noted. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Nothing discussed <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> Phase Two Next Steps <br /> Monthly engineer update-GHD <br /> Mark Drainville of GHD provided a monthly status update: <br /> • Application submitted to the State Revolving Fund (SRF). <br /> • SRF review is nearly complete, with only one pending town signature. <br /> • Final signatures scheduled for the following week; project remains on schedule. <br /> Mr. Drainville reported on the status of the Phase 2 project. He reminded the commission that during <br /> his last appearance, GHD had been seeking approval to submit the project to the State Revolving Fund <br /> (SRF)for financing.The application was submitted and has since been under review by SRF,which is <br /> responsible for approving loan applications and providing principal forgiveness funding support. <br /> Mr. Drainville explained that SRF had already reviewed the submission and returned with some follow- <br /> up questions which GHD addressed. As of that very morning, only one outstanding item remained, <br /> which was simply a matter of securing a signature from the town side. He assured the commission that <br /> this was a minor requirement and that the application otherwise appeared on track. <br /> Mr. Drainville confirmed that the Mashpee Town Manager is scheduled to sign the final contracts the <br /> following Thursday, enabling the project to meet the end-of-August deadline. Once the contracts are <br /> signed,the project will proceed into the pre-construction phase, at which time he would be prepared to <br /> provide further details and updates. <br /> Summerwood Final Paving <br /> • Research required due to lack of clear records left by his predecessor. <br /> • Original documents, supplied by GHD, confirm curb-to-curb paving obligation. <br /> • Summerwood management thanks commission: residents raise additional safety/landscaping <br /> concerns. <br /> Wastewater Superintendent Jared Meader explained the difficulties he faced in clarifying obligations <br /> due to the passing of his predecessor,which left him without firsthand knowledge of agreements. Initial <br /> reviews of the order of taking filed by the town suggested that paving was not explicitly required. <br /> However, upon further inquiry with the town attorney, Mr. Meader was told that unless drawings <br /> indicated otherwise,the town would not be obligated.This prompted Mr. Meader to request further <br /> documentation from GHD,who provided the complete project packet, including original drawings. <br /> These drawings clearly showed that the town was, in fact, responsible for curb-to-curb paving, including <br /> parking areas.With this discovery, Mr. Meader supplied Summerwood with a highlighted map indicating <br /> the specific areas covered under the obligation. He reminded residents that any additional paving <br /> beyond the contract requirements would need to be arranged at their own expense but recommended <br /> coordinating promptly with contractors to avoid uneven or mismatched paving surfaces. <br />
