<br />Town report-the committee read over the draft of the EDIC letter for the Town Report Pamela McCarthy <br />wrote. Patrice Pimental moved it be approved, Robyn Simmons seconded. The committee approved <br />the letter. <br /> <br />108 Commercial Street-Carol updated the committee on the January 21, 2010 Board of Selectmen's <br />meeting and shared a memo the town planner submitted to the Board. 108 Commercial Street, which is <br />directly across from the Community Health Center of Cape Cod, has drawn some interest from a couple <br />of businesses. Evan Lehrer outlined three different ways to proceed (mixed use, subdivision between <br />commercial and residential, single use). The town manager will form a working group to asses the <br />options for the property and bring a recommendation to the Board. <br /> <br />Mass Bankers Financial College-Patrice Pimental is taking courses through the Mass Bankers <br />Financial College at Babson for work. She talked about what she learned, and how it ties into her <br />committee work and her work in the Chamber of Commerce. She said that in addition to supporting <br />small local businesses, we need to think bigger and bring in more technology, medical, and other <br />companies that have high-paying jobs with longevity. She also talked about the need for housing <br />diversity, and how a lack of that makes it difficult for employers to retain employees. If a retiree cannot <br />get a mortgage after selling their home, they will be less likely to sell it and thus a young family will be <br />unable to buy it. <br /> <br />Economic development section of Mashpee's comprehensive plan-the town is starting another <br />comprehensive plan. The last one was twenty years ago. The EDIC will need to work on its section and <br />will likely need to contribute some money towards paying a firm to do the in-depth research the report <br />will require. The entire plan will probably take two to three years. <br /> <br />Communications and Correspondence: <br /> <br />Carol Sherman asked that the directors and officers insurance coverage be added to the agenda. <br />Pamela McCarthy moved it be added, Patrice Pimental seconded, and the board approved it be added <br />to the agenda. Carol Sherman said the premium for the directors' and officers' insurance for the year is <br />$1,359 and is due on 2/21/2020. Pamela McCarthy moved the committee approve the payment; Patrice <br />Pimental seconded the motion. The committee approved the payment. <br /> <br />Next meeting: <br /> <br /> <br />Tuesday February 25, 2020 at 6:00 PM. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:40. <br />Respectfully submitted by Pamela McCarthy <br /> <br />
