MASHPEE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION MINUTES <br /> OCTOBER 2, 2007 <br /> Present: Joe Noonan, Robyn Simmons, Rene Read, Bob Walsh, Bob Cobuzzi, Terrie Cook, <br /> Joyce Mason. <br /> Joe Noonan opened and chaired the meeting at 4:00 p.m. <br /> The Minutes of September 4, 2007 were unanimously approved as amended. <br /> Joe Noonan reviewed the Minutes as a follow up to whether any actions were taken. <br /> Bob Walsh will represent the real estate side of the membership. <br /> The Committee would like to attract a tribal member to fill its vacancy since federal funding may <br /> require it. Alice Lopez just received a grant for the tribe. Rene will consult with the tribal leader <br /> to get a recommendation. <br /> Iyle Hasley has submitted a letter of interest in becoming a member of the Committee. <br /> The Committee voted.to change the time of the meeting from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to make it <br /> more convenient for business people to attend. <br /> The EDIC website has been updated. Joe Noonan suggested changing the font to a larger size <br /> and adding some paragraphs. <br /> The Town is collecting information from Committees for the preparation of a handbook of <br /> Boards, Committees, and Commissions. <br /> There was nothing to report on the Cape & Island Self-Reliance group meeting since n.00ne <br /> attended. Rene will try to find out when they meet next. <br /> The Regional Technology Development Corporation helps to make grant money available, such <br /> as the grant Falmouth received for their Marine Park. We will name a representative at the next <br /> meeting to attend their monthly meetings. <br /> We will schedule a meeting with our Town Counsel to discuss 501 c and Ch.40d laws and surety <br /> bond issues. Rene will check to see if he is coming to Town Meeting on Monday, October 151h, <br /> so that perhaps some of the Committee members can meet with him earlier in the day. He comes <br /> once a month, and Rene will get his schedule so'we can arrange to meet with him during the next <br /> available time. <br /> Terrie Cook suggested the Committee focus on one particular goal, like the hotel/conference <br /> center. We can revise the RFP from three years ago and send it out to trade groups and central <br /> register. <br /> We are most likely looking for bids to build a hotel/conference center from a hotel chain. <br />
