“Mr. Howell made a motion to extend the lease by one year; so that they can have a coherent discussion and all parties will know what they are doing. Seconded by Mr. MacAskill. Mr. Ballantine asked if they have the power to do that, the way the Town ! Meeting vote is, and the way the lease is written? Mr. Howell said that it is their lease, and they had signed it. Mr. MacAskill said if it was challenged, the could take it up at any time. However, they are asking someone that has had this bog and counting on this bog, to be told to get out just as cranberry growing season is beginning, would be unfair. He agrees with Mr. Howell and is not concerned with what the Conservation Commission comes up with at this point. He said too much time has gone by and the individual there now has been looking at creating educational elements to the bog. He thinks a year will give them the time to be able to spend some time with some real public input. He also agrees that it is there lease, and they can extend the lease. Ms. Amy Usowski, Conservation Agent, said her first comment is not on behalf of the Conservation Commission, and that one year to her is not a big deal. She would like to say that the Conservation Commission had a meeting with Mr. Leo Cakounes last year, and they have been having 4 - 5 hour meetings, with 15 hearing per meeting. She had received Mr. Howell's request and said she would put it on, as soon as they could, and have it on for next week. She said they are interested and it is important to them. She said that the Chairman and commissioners were also on the line and there is not pre-conceived notion that they would not potentially re-lease the bogs or property. Ms. Usowski said that they can do whatever they are legally entitled to do, but she just wanted to make that known. Mr. Howell said that it is not just one instance that has made him angry, this is action by inaction and it has been happening a lot. This was brought up back during the Commission's annual meeting back in December and it was not a suggestion, but something that was a desire of the Board of Selectmen. This has happened over and over again. He is giving a year by extending the lease, but they have to understand that they need to work with the town, it is not a freestanding committee. Unless they have concerns that they should , bring to their attention, they signed the lease. He was on the Board when the lease was first signed in early 2000's. Mr. Powers said that he reviewed the lease agreement and said that there is no language prohibiting or expressing the extension of the lease, nor any references to specific statute. Therefore, generally speaking, it is a lease agreement and can be executed by the Board of Selectmen. He said that it is the Board's authority to do so, and he does not see any reason that the Board ' not to take a positive action on the motion. Mr. McManus said he does not have any problem with extending the lease for a year, but if they are going to renew this lease, it seems there should be some process of putting it out for a request for proposal. He explained that for timing purposes and the ability to put a crop in for anyone new coming in, the request for proposal would have to go out much earlier in the year.

Mr. Brad Chase, Chairman, Conservation Commission, said that he would like to encourage the Board of Selectmen to consider this article. He said that it has been in the works for numerous years and they view them as essential improvements to clarify and improve the language. They do think these natural resources are under a lot of pressure, and they are important to the Town of Harwich. Mr. Ballantine said that he thinks a lot of the comments he has on this is pretty self-explanatory and he supports it. Mr. Howell asked when the hearing was and how many people attended. Mr. Chase said that the first publicized hearing was in 2019 and then they had two publicized meetings in 2020 and then in February 2021, where they voted on the changes. He said three of them were done through Zoom, but they had participation and he feels a lot of them are important improvements. Four meetings are a fair amount of exposure for them. Mr. Howell said the people from the Town have not been able to attend. Ms. Usowski said they were publicized and had a few people from the public attend. They have worked to get the word out there and recently on her recent podcast with the library there was a segment encouraging people to look at and comment on sections of the bylaw. She is also hoping to get together with Channel 18 to do more. She said the commission has worked : very hard and request it go to Town Meeting to let the town people decide. Mr. MacAskill appreciates the commission's work on this and Ms. Usowski's words as well. He said these things really need to happen at the board level .. it has not been a fair year for people to have public participation. He does not think it is worth putting it on this year and we need to educate the public more on these things. They need to come back before us, he does to think it is the time to put it on the warrant.
