Old Business Planning for Public Meeting #2 \[Public Engagement\] It was agreed that having the meeting in July would make sense. It was thought there would be more participation. Everyone felt that public meeting #1 was a success. The New Seabury area and population needs to be more involved in the process. The members discussed formats drop in or formal presentation. Ms. Fisher suggested having a flyer and posted around town. They would also utilize existing homeowner email addresses to get the word out. The idea was for different tables to leave comments or have an email address to send comments to. It was suggested that there should be a drop in for the transfer station. \[collocated with other areas or events as well\] The idea is to get more input. Ms. Wyman-Colombo suggested that a meeting at New Seabury to get seasonal residents should be structured and brief, but more formalized. Ms. Wyman-Colombo liked the transfer station area idea as well. Regarding tables, it was suggested that the goal was to have people move from table to table instead of lingering at one table. The document produced from the last meeting was several pages long. The suggestion was to make the document into a 1-page document that could be sent out with each department having 4 or 5 main bullet points. Mr. Cook noted seeing a notice would indicate that something is going to change. However, Mr. Lehrer noted it was for the community to define action items (or status quo). Ms. Fisher reiterated that it was a 2-year planning process and action items would be identified and added. Ms. Fisher noted that the planning process never really ends. However, the Commonwealth will follow up once the plan is approved to see where the Town was. (10-year renewal review) Mr. Lehrer noted that there should be some sort of baseline items identified. The action plan Ms. Fisher put forward was brainstorming for locations. (Transfer Station, Chamber of Commerce, Community Picnic, Stop & Shop, etc.). It was suggested that the Committee could alternate between locations.
