To add an article on the October Town Meeting warrant to authorize the Town of Mashpee to purchase Gooseberry Island and authorize the Town Manager to enter into Negotiations with the owner for said purchase

Yes: Gottlieb, Sherman, WeedenNo: Cotton, O'Hara

From the minutes

“Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to add an article on the October Town Meeting warrant to authorize the Town of Mashpee to purchase Gooseberry Island and authorize the Town Manager to enter into Negotiations with the owner for said purchase. Motion seconded by Selectman Sherman. Comments made during the discussion revealed there is an overriding public interest in this property. Through CPC funds the Town has the ability to purchase this property which is of value and has been a priority parcel for acquisition for the past 15 years. With the current status of the bay and watershed with accumulated potential and detrimental effects on public health and with the benefit of shellfish this may be a good approach. However,the subject property is currently in litigation and it may not be in the Town's best interest at this time to pursue this undertaking. VOTE: 3-2. Motion carries. Roll Call Vote: Selectman Cotton, no Selectman O'Hara, no Selectman Sherman,yes Selectman Gottlieb,yes Selectman Weeden,yes Opposed, (2).” (Motion: Gottlieb, second: Sherman)
