3 <br /> <br />Board of Selectmen <br />Minutes <br />December 21, 2015 <br /> <br />COMMUNICATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE <br /> <br />Letter from Mashpee Housing Authority Director, Leila Botsford, regarding Housing Assistance <br />Program/CPC: (continued) <br /> <br />Selectman Gottlieb and Sherman indicated they would meet with the Housing Authority Director and its <br />Board of Commissioners at their regular meeting to review and clarify the proposed budget and criteria to <br />quantify the success of the last funding round. <br /> <br />Previously, the Mashpee Housing Assistance Program received CPA funding at the May 2012 Town <br />Meeting in the amount of $300,000, a grant award of $100,000 per year to develop the Housing <br />Assistance Program. An additional funding request in the amount of $330,000, a CPA award of $110,000 <br />per year was supported by the CPC to continue the program in 2015 for an additional three years. As a <br />result of unresolved questions, the funding request was denied by the Board of Selectmen and removed <br />from the May 2015 Town Meeting warrant. <br /> <br />It was agreed this is a significant amount of funding requested by the Housing Authority to continue the <br />Housing Assistance Program. In normal process, Department Heads meet with the Board of Selectmen at <br />the time of the warrant review to further substantiate requested expenditures. Mrs. Botsford will be <br />requested to meet with the Board of Selectmen at that time. <br /> <br />Mashpee TV Annual Report to the Board of Selectmen, Fiscal Year 2014: <br /> <br />In accordance with the Agreement between the Town of Mashpee and Mashpee Community Media <br />Center, Inc., d/b/a Mashpee TV (MTV), the Board of Selectmen received the Annual MTV Report for <br />fiscal year 2014. <br /> <br />The report contains year-end financial statements, the upcoming budget, a three-year budget plan, the <br />hours of programming and cablecast, notable events, actions and programs as well as training classes <br />offered. <br /> <br />Upon review, the Board of Selectmen indicated they are pleased with the current policies and procedures <br />of MTV.
