would be available to assist the Board during a gap and Mr. Lehrer responded that the Board <br /> could inquire about his availability. <br /> Mashpee Commons Development Agreement- Although the Planning Board would <br /> serve as the lead group for negotiations, the Chair reported that he had been approached by <br /> Board of Selectmen Planning Board Liaison, Andrew Gottlieb, regarding participation in <br /> negotiations for the Mashpee Commons Development Agreement. It was the Chair's opinion <br /> that it would be beneficial to include a representative from the Board of Selectmen to participate <br /> in the negotiations. There was consensus from Board members, including Ms. Waygan, who <br /> cautioned against any conflict of interest. <br /> MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion that the Planning Board's Selectman Liaison <br /> attend the meetings. <br /> There was discussion regarding adding "or a representative"to the motion. Ms. Waygan agreed, <br /> in the event there were individuals with a conflict of interest, when it would not be appropriate to <br /> have anyone receiving money from Mashpee Commons participate in negotiations. <br /> Ms. Waygan offered the motion to add a member of the Board of Selectmen that has no <br /> conflict of interest, has not taken any money as campaign donation or campaign <br /> contribution from a principal of Mashpee Commons, does not work for a company that <br /> takes money from Mashpee Commons, or does not have business transactions to benefit <br /> from Mashpee Commons. <br /> It was the Chair's opinion that"no conflict of interest" would be sufficient, as anyone could have <br /> made a purchase in a store at Mashpee Commons, but Ms. Waygan responded that it was not the <br /> same as her prior statement. Mr. Fulone inquired whether there was a conflict of interest for the <br /> Liaison and the Chair responded that the Conflict of Interest Law was in place to address the <br /> matter, and if it became an issue, it could be discussed as a group. Ms. Waygan felt that it was <br /> important for the wording to be included in the motion though Mr. Fulone suggested it could be <br /> redundant. Mr. Balzarini agreed with the more restrictive wording. There was further discussion <br /> regarding potential vendors and financial benefit. There was consensus to make the motion. <br /> MOTION: Ms. Waygan made a motion to expand the negotiating team for the <br /> Development Agreement with Mashpee Commons,with one member of the Board of <br /> Selectmen, provided that Selectman has absolutely no conflict of interest, and has no <br /> financial dealings with Mashpee Commons. Mr. Balzarini seconded the motion. All voted <br /> unanimously. <br /> There was consensus that it would be helpful to have the Selectmen involved early in the process <br /> since they would be voting to approve the agreement. Mr. Balzarini inquired whether additional <br /> parties could be involved and the Chair confirmed that others could join at the invitation of the <br /> Planning Board. Ms. Waygan noted that the negotiation team had now been expanded to 6 <br /> voting members and recommend that Mr. Hansen be promoted to serve as full member on the <br /> negotiating team in order to have an odd number of voting members. <br /> 4 <br />
