'�waw�araup�"'a <br />16 Great Neck Road Worth <br />Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Faulkner commented under emerging issues, they should include the new homeowner survey <br />questions from the CCC. This may be the future, people who are moving here, the demographics are <br />clear it is older people and we are losing the school population. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated if that data is already available he does not understand the value in asking again. <br />Ms. Waygan brought the Boards attention to a question everyone liked, about why did you come here. <br />They had something like that in the previous survey. She hasn't read this matrix in full, but we do want <br />to ask what drew people to Mashpee, what keeps people in Mashpee. Is it the connection with an <br />ancestral homeland, family, schools, or nature? We would modify that because we want to <br />acknowledge that some people's families have been here for thousands of years. <br />Ms. Faulkner alluded to that survey saying just that, many people owned land and they are legacy <br />people, 25 years or more, a large number. <br />Ms. Waygan identified question 39, factors in deciding to purchase, as a major question. It would be <br />factors of living here. <br />Mr. Lehrer would like to caution against taking valuable survey real estate for questions that get at data <br />that is already available to us. When going through we asked ourselves is this question asking for an <br />answer or does the data already exist elsewhere. If that answer was yes, we removed it from this <br />survey. <br />Ms. Faulkner stated this is about people who just moved here, new homeowners. <br />Ms. Waygan stated that question should definitely be in there. <br />Mr. Balzarini thinks the survey is long. He would like to break it down to 15 questions taking each <br />subject and combine it. This survey people will put aside due to length. They are important questions, <br />but one answer. <br />Mr. Lehrer does not disagree, this is taken from the direction of the Board. He feels every question <br />there adds substantive value and will provide good data, he doesn't think there is an issue in <br />consolidating. He thinks there is a benefit to reducing the amount of time it will take people to complete <br />the survey. <br />Ms. Waygan answered Mr. Balzarini by stating this is just the first round, and this has every single item <br />that was discussed. She went on to ask Ms. Sweet how many email addresses are on the contact list. <br />She referenced the new round of emails collected from the June workshop and inquired if those were <br />added to the list. <br />10 <br />
