Chairpersons. Wayne Prepared a Welcome sheet which included <br /> businesses who began or expanded during 1995; Wayne asked for <br /> any additions from EDC. Wayne prepared a Mashpee Industrial <br /> Park Profile and Status report as it pertains to developed, <br /> . open and other parcels within the Park. Tom stated that someone <br /> mentioned that the Industrial Park may need a sewage treatment <br /> plant; Wayne noted that the threshold is 10 , 000 sq. ft. with <br /> the Cape Cod Commission. Wayne raised a concern re: only <br /> showcasing the Industrial Park and not doing the saiae for other <br /> commercial areas. The Mt. Auburn RFP was distributed, and Tom <br /> asked members to read through it and see if we are getting the <br /> information we agreed upon. Wayne presented Table 3 of the <br /> Work Program with a timeline from July 1995 through June 1996 , <br /> and Wayne stated that he will be working on the following over <br /> the next six months : ( 1 ) strategic plan, ( 2) Industrial Park, <br /> ( 3) Augat. Tom suggested acquiring a list of persons who have <br /> vacation homes in Mashpee and business offices off Cape <br /> (particularly Route 128) for the purpose of marketing Augat <br /> and Industrial Park space. Wayne stated the Web Page is in <br /> progress , and he noted that the Chamber and the State have done <br /> something in this area already. <br /> Discussion on the EDC budget began with Wayne asking that EDC <br /> put in a request for $5, 000 - $6 , 000 for clerical coverage for <br /> two days per week at the ED Coordinator ' s desk. Tom asked Wayne <br /> to design a program and submit it to EDC for consideration to <br /> expand the program. Steve suggested that before we ask for <br /> money, we .should poll the community for senior volunteers . <br /> Tom told Wayne to go ahead and put together a proposal to submit <br /> for Finance Committee review. Tom stated that once the strategic <br /> plan moves along, we will need more marketing. Paul stated <br /> we may want to run this past Bob Whritenour. Tom noted EDC' s <br /> expenses include promotion, advertising, upkeep of signs , <br /> trade shows, etc. , and even if we budget $20, 000 , we need to <br /> keep back $5 , 000 for miscellaneous expenses. Tom suggested <br /> increasing the ED Coordinator ' s hours for promotion of businesses <br /> and adding clerical help. Wayne stated he would like an increase <br /> in his hourly rate to about $15 per hour. Tom suggested that <br /> Wayne talk to other ED Coordinators and get figures from them <br /> for comparison. John O' Brien can help in this area. Toni stated <br /> that Wayne needs to reduce the hours spent doing clerical work <br /> and do more administrative work. Steve stated that Wayne has <br /> not used EDC members recently to help out, which he recommends <br /> Wayne doing more often. Paul stated that Wayne should not spend <br /> more than 10% of his time in data processing; maintaining the <br /> "tool" is not good use of Wayne ' s time. Paul suggested that <br /> by restructuring the ED Coordinator position, perhaps we should <br /> go out to bid. Wayne noted that his current contract states <br /> he receives up to $10 ,_000 (which comes out to $11. 99 per hour) . <br /> Tom noted that 250 hours at about $15 hr and 250 hours at $5 <br /> hr for the remaining 6 months comes out to $5 , 000 (approximately <br /> the remainder in the budget) . Torn suggested that Wayne talk <br /> -2- <br />
