Topics discussed:
* Mashpee has not been able to locate a willing participate to fill the citizen position for the management committee.
* Ann Canedy suggested that a trail to the Herring Run is named in memorial of Phyllis Miller
* Have Americorps help with management plan
* Santuit fish ladder was replaced in 2013 from wooden to concrete. RTS funded project. It was supposed to work
for fish passage and water control. Unfortunately, this does not work efficiently for either. Herring volunteers have
observed it. Mass Marine and fisheries also have studied it. The pools turn into a whirl pool and does not let the
herring run pass. It would likely be at the top of herring runs on cape for the most herring run through the ladder on
the cape. On the NRCS radar.
* Barnstable has had issues with inappropriate use of the trails and vandalism.
* Barnstable has a cranberry bog on their side. The bog has been sitting for 15 years a nd likely will not be restored,
but will evaluate the bog to the south.
