�"�w�uu�mve <br />16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, Nassachusetts 02649 <br />areas. After the brief description of public works department, police, fire, emergency management, add <br />a brief description of human service department, library, and senior center. Also in the brief description <br />of schools, after "providing a high level of educational services" she would like to add and human <br />services. They have a school nurse. They offer a lot more, some schools offer food pantries. She <br />doesn't know of the focus group with the School Committee yet. Under section 8.3, under Town Hall, <br />add a section for the Human Service Department. We should add a section on the Harbormaster and <br />Shellfish Warden. The rest of the plan should be sent around again to all these different departments <br />for updates. She thought it was super interesting how many staff people work in some of these <br />departments. Then in some departments you have stats about how many people they serve, it would <br />be nice to see the staffing layout for every department. It would be interesting to see data like how <br />many calls the police and fire respond to, or how many kids are graduating from our schools, those <br />kinds of things. <br />Sustainability <br />Ms. Waygan emailed more comments to Mr. Lehrer prior to the meeting. It's a Planners guide for how <br />to deal with climate change. In the first sentence she wanted to strike development patterns and <br />replace with land use patterns. Some sustainability stuff is to buy open space. There is a different word <br />that could fit in there but she didn't want it to be development patterns. We should add that in 2020 <br />Town Meeting declared the town a climate emergency. In the sentence that says town of Mashpee has <br />initiated planning efforts, she wants to insert "to reduce climate change" and that will improve its <br />resiliency to these impacts. We noted that the Commonwealth has a goal for 50% reduction in <br />greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked if she said reduce climate change. <br />Ms. Waygan stated yes, we not only have to mitigate and prepare but also prevent. That's the reduction <br />in greenhouse gases. <br />Mr. Lehrer sees the point but they will need to play around with the wording a bit. <br />Mr. Hanses commented reduce the effects. <br />Ms. Waygan says that sounds better, we can reduce our contribution to it. The first bullet point, GHG <br />stands for greenhouse gases. Under section 31, sustainable land use patterns, she wants to introduce <br />the open space. She would like to add to the end of the first sentence "and conservation efforts". The <br />second sentence of paragraph 331 notes table 31 identifies existing regulations that are in place to <br />protect the natural environment and reduce waste in Mashpee. We should add "identifies existing <br />regulations and conservation efforts that are in place to protect natural environment and reduce waste <br />in Mashpee". On table 31, we should add our open space purchase initiatives. That is a lot of money <br />we spend on protection of open space. We should add somewhere our efforts to buy open space. <br />Table 31, add mother acts such as Coastal Zone Management Act, Rivers and Wetlands Protection <br />Acts, and Stormwater Management Statute and Regulations. <br />11 <br />
