Engagement and put the option in to continue with the consultant to do the entire Comprehensive <br /> Plan Update. The town of Mashpee has allowed $150,000 for this project which made Mr. <br /> Lehrer feel that perhaps it was best to write an RFP for the full scope of work since the funds <br /> have been appropriated. He then asked the Board for their thoughts as to what their thoughts are <br /> in proceeding. Ms. Waygan had provided comments to Mr. Lehrer on his Action Plan. Vice <br /> Chair Callahan thanked Ms. Waygan for the information that she had provided from the Town of <br /> Yarmouth. He found the information very helpful and made great points. He then commented <br /> that he had 15 ideas on how to reach out to the public with the ongoing pandemic. Mr. Callahan <br /> concurred with Mr. Lehrer on the point of issuing the RFP for the full scope of the project and <br /> opened the floor for comments. Ms. Waygan said this a huge project and suggested that perhaps <br /> both pieces could be included in the RFP but suggested asking for a lump sum bid for phase one <br /> the Visioning piece and Phase 2 for the update of the LCP. She said she would award in such a <br /> way after the completion of Phase 1 then decide whether to issue the 2nd phase. This would <br /> allow the option whether to proceed with the same consultant or to choose another in the event <br /> their performance is unsatisfactory. It would allow some flexibility. Mr. Lehrer wanted to be <br /> clear as to what the consensus of the Board was and as to if the Board was in agreement with <br /> breaking down the RFP into two pieces. Vice Chair Callahan reviewed minutes from the <br /> January 6 meeting to review the previous Board vote. He confirmed that it had been a unanimous <br /> vote. He then asked if anyone had anything further to discuss on this subject. Mr. Balzarini <br /> pointed out that they still needed to discuss a name for the project. Board members had <br /> submitted their ideas into Mr. Lehrer. Mr.Callahan commented that he liked the name that Mr. <br /> Fulone had submitted—"Mashpee's Vision—A Proud Past and A Promising Future." Mr. <br /> Balzarini said this would be his first choice. Ms. Waygan agreed but added that she also liked <br /> Mr. Lehrer's suggestion of"What's Next? Visioning for Future Generations." Mr. Lehrer <br /> suggested that the Board take a vote at the next meeting between the top two titles submitted. <br /> Mr. Lehrer then asked Ms. Waygan about her comments on his Action Plan. Ms. Waygan then <br /> commented that you have the Vision piece then you update the LCP. When the LCP is updated <br /> the place type map can be reviewed. Mr. Lehrer said that his thought for incorporating place <br /> types into the Action Plan was to define place types so that particular questions can be asked as <br /> to how people envision certain areas of the town as to how they fit into those place types and <br /> where they would like to see them in the future. He felt it would be a mechanism for people to <br /> see where things are today and where they can go tomorrow. Ms. Waygan said that she felt the <br /> concept of place types should be introduced as it is a new concept and may take a while for <br /> people to process it. Mr. Hanson inquired as to whether the LCP would be introduced or <br /> marketed to the public. He felt most people would not be familiar with what the LCP is. Vice <br /> Chair Callahan responded by pointing out that the plan from the Town of Yarmouth had included <br /> a 15 point marketing plan as to how to reach out to people especially during the pandemic. Mr. <br /> Lehrer said although ideas were discussed previously,there was no formal document to <br /> incorporate these ideas. He said that he when he prepares the Gantt Chart as the Town of <br /> Yarmouth has done,the chart it would include an Engagement Action Plan. This will detail how <br /> we will reach out to people so that they become involved in workshops so that they understand <br /> the scope of the project and the information that we are seeking. <br /> Ms. Waygan pointed out that the place types are typically part of the LCP update and not the <br /> Visioning piece. Mr. Balzarini said that the Board may need to focus on certain areas more than <br /> others. Some areas may be very outdated while others may not be and the project should be <br /> 2 <br />
