This Board of Selectmen has learned how to effectively meld our differing world views and function as a cohesive group focused on what is best for the Town of Mashpee. At a time when governance feels like it is breaking down at all levels and civil public discourse is disappearing, the Mashpee Board of Selectmen takes great pride in being a body where differing views are embraced, debated, and lead to decisions intended to unify and strengthen the community. 2016 is another year where the government of Mashpee has demonstrated its ability to govern responsibly and in the best interests of the people who have entrusted us with this awesome duty. As a body, our sincere thanks go out to the many volunteers who served on our Boards, Committees, and Commissions in 2016. The five of us are indebted to Town Manager Rodney Collins; Assistant Town Manager Wayne Taylor, and Administrative Assistant Christine Willander for their daily efforts in support of the Board, and for their commitment to serving the residents of Mashpee. Respectfully submitted, Andrew R. Gottlieb, Chairman John J. Cahalan, Vice -Chairman Thomas F. O'Hara, Clerk Carol A. Sherman John J. Cotton Mashpee Board of Selectmen 10
