16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Wells stated they are in order of what is being worked on. Transportation is lagging behind, natural <br />resources, open space and recreation are almost finished, and housing is well on its way. <br />Mr. Balzarini asked what sustainability means. <br />Ms. Wells answered that sustainability addresses anything about building resilience on the front of <br />municipality in the face of climate changes. <br />Ms. Waygan inquired further if energy meant carbon footprint or energy uses by the Town. Ms. Wells <br />stated yes. <br />Website Update: <br />The contract with CitizenLab is with the Town. The launch date, if all goes well, will be mid -March, <br />contract depending. There are some workarounds that can be done to not delay community <br />engagement. For example, the town website can act as a platform for information. <br />Mr. Balzarini asked how the website will be advertised. He is worried people in his age group will not <br />know how to obtain information off the virtual platforms. <br />Mr. Lehrer explained that the engagement in digital space is supplemental to in person events. When <br />the website is up and running the tools should be relatively user friendly. Once a URL is in place it will <br />be in the newspaper, mailers, business cards, etc. This is a way for citizens to engage from anywhere. <br />Mr. Lehrer also wanted to clarify, CitizenLab provided a contract and Counsel has issues with the <br />contract. He has a meeting to remedy the issue, but it's critical to get this platform launched congruently <br />with the opening workshops. If procurement is delayed longer we will utilize amenities in Town Hall, like <br />the website, to get the information out. It won't be as interactive, but Weston & Sampson has tools to <br />promote interaction. The procurement issue is out of our hands but this is the utmost priority. He <br />anticipates it will be worked through first thing tomorrow. <br />Schedule Update: <br />They are hitting targets, and getting ready for the public launch in mid -March. They continue to utilize <br />online resources and making printable documents for the public. They will continue to work with Mr. <br />Lehrer to identify location and time for the Public Kickoff that will launch the whole effort. <br />Mr. Fulone wanted to follow up on Mr. Balzarini's point about keeping people apprised. He asked if <br />there will be a "coming soon" advertisement or something to be watching for in mid -March. <br />Mr. Lehrer noted that the Board will need to identify topical areas and identify a location and date for <br />the kickoff. Next meeting is March 2, 2022, two weeks before the mid -march point. He would like to ask <br />of a suggested method, press release, PSA, or any literature, he would take direction. <br />Chris Ball from Mashpee TV offered Mashpee TV as an outlet to promote this movement by putting out <br />PSAs. <br />3 <br />
