NEW BUSINESS <br /> Ted distributed a copy of the report "The Cape Cod Economic <br /> Base" prepared for the Cape Cod Commission by Edward Moscovitch, <br /> and also an article from the July 20 , 1994 Cape Cod Times <br /> entitled "New Group Aims to Lure Business. " The latter article <br /> deals with the creation of a corporation to help bring business <br /> to the Cape. <br /> Sid noted that Steve Innis needed to leave the meeting at <br /> 8 : 23 p.m. <br /> Paul Reynolds reported on the meeting he attended for the SE <br /> Massachusetts office of Business Development. He met many <br /> people, including Maria Gooch from SEED who helps businesses <br /> get loans. SEED helped SEAMAP in their move to Mashpee. Sid <br /> showed the article regarding Bourne giving a Mashpee business <br /> space and asked members if we should write a letter or editorial <br /> in response; the committee responded not to. Paul suggested <br /> planning a welcoming party to draw attention to Mashpee. Sid <br /> was not sure we can do this and recommended putting this on <br /> the agenda for the next meeting for discussion. Sid further <br /> stated that he felt this should be handled by the Chamber. of <br /> Commerce. A motion was made, seconded and unanimously in favor <br /> to have Paul Reynolds look into whether any efforts have been <br /> made toward a PR effort to attract business to Mashpee. <br /> Sid presented the members with a zoning map and town codes and <br /> briefly explained the zoning to them and will discuss it in <br /> further detail when the "Guidebook" is available. <br /> Paul gave his computer report stating that we bought the computer <br /> that runs MAC/IBM programs; it' s all set to go. As soon as <br /> we hire a coordinator, we can begin programming. <br /> COORDINATOR POSITION <br /> Sid reported there are nine applicants for the position, and <br /> the committee needs to review the nine resumes received. It <br /> will be necessary to narrow the choices down to three or four <br /> candidates. Sid stated the need to look at the parameters of <br /> the position. Ted_ recommended devoting the thrust of the next <br /> meeting to paring down applicants, and to put their educational <br /> background on the back burner. Robert Govani stated we want <br /> to pick someone knowledgeable in this area. Paul Reynolds <br /> recommended a tentative timeline and development of criteria <br /> and a list of questions so that the committee has a profile <br /> of what they are looking for .in a candidate. Paul felt computer <br /> skills are very important since we bought a $2 , 000 computer <br /> last year. It was suggested to distribute resumes to each member <br /> to review for the next meeting. Ted asked what are the list <br /> of priorities for the committee. He felt this was a high priority <br />
