write to invite you to participate 'in guidance to the Cape & Islands Seasonal Community,provide important <br /> updates on.Governor Baker's Executive Orders, and share information about recently passed and pending <br /> legislation.o <br /> REGIONAL GUIDANCE TO SEASONAL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS <br /> The Cape & Islands Legislative Delegation has been leading an effort to convene healthcare, business, and local <br /> government across the Cape & Islands in anticipating how we respond to the expected population influx of <br /> seasonal residents that weW1011 see in the weeks ahead, These efforts are meant to compliment and su port the <br /> p <br /> Governor's Executive Orders and guidance from the Baker-Polito Administration. The goal i's to have uniform <br /> 0 1 <br /> information for seasonal residents coming from all entities of authorityin the region; the-a'i*m 'i's to speak <br /> with one consistent message. <br /> Attached is guidance that the legislative delegation has developed with area hospitals (Cape Cod Hosptial, <br /> Martha's Vineyard Hosptial, Nantucket Cottage Hosptial) and the region's three Chambers of Commerce. <br /> Suggested edits may be considered although reaching consensus with such a large group of stakeholders takes <br /> time; the region's hospitals and chambers of commerce all agree with the language attached. We are <br /> extending an opportunity for the-Cape & Islands' 23 municipalities and Barnstable and Dukes Counties to Join <br /> in signing onto this guidance. We also intend to invite Cape Cod National Seashore, transportation carriers, and <br /> other stakeholders to sign onto the guidance in the coming days. The guidance will be updated asinformation <br /> becomes available (e.g. extended date of Essential Services order). We will also seek to translate the guidance <br /> 0 <br /> into Portuguese and Spanish. <br /> I wanted to share the guidance with you and invite your municipality to sign on. I understand that it may <br /> take several days to circulate this within town leadership. To sign onto the guidance, please email Katharine <br /> Thibodeau from my staff: Katharine.Thibodedu,�_i)rnasenqt Please include the seal/logo of your <br /> municipality so we can include it in the guidance as it is updated. <br /> A BIG thank you to.Rep.
