16 Great Neck Road North <br />.wlashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Waygan would like a policy that considers the financial impacts and benefits of town <br />programs and services. One action would be to make sure our Finance Department is staffed <br />and FinCom has the resources it needs. We also need to have a robust Capital Improvement <br />Plan process. <br />Goal FS6: Nurture and enhance continued education and life-long learning for Mashpee's adult <br />community. It was mentioned this could go under previously merged Goals FS2 and 3. <br />Ms. Waygan added a policy to make educational opportunities accessible to all. An action <br />could be to increase the budget, they often do 6 week classes. We have a lot of educational <br />programs at the Public Library, we should support and increase those. She suggested they try <br />to attract other educational opportunities into Mashpee via Woods Hole, CCCC, Local theatre <br />and artcenters, the Chamberof Commerce, and othercommunity partners. <br />Goal FST Ensure Mashpee community members are as physically, mentally, and emotionally <br />healthy as possible. <br />Mr. Lehrer noted this was a cross sector departmental goal. <br />Ms. Waygan noted supporting the Recreation Department opportunities as well as the Human <br />Service Department programs. She suggested reaching outto Community Health Centerto <br />inquire aboutan action plan they might have forthe town. It may be as simple as all local <br />residents can go there and apply for Mass Health. <br />Mr. Oakley commented to support initiatives put forth by the Recreation Department. <br />Ms. Waygan also suggested to ensure health pamphlets are available at Town Hall or all <br />public buildings. <br />Mr. Lehrer added awareness of where and who their local medical resources are. <br />Goal FS9: Provide the most accessible and interconnected trail network in the Commonwealth <br />throughout Mashpee's conservation lands to maximize safe enjoyment of nature and the <br />outdoors. <br />Goal FS10: Improve, maintain, and monitor Mashpee's ponds, coastal waterways, and <br />coastline in pristine condition thatallows all users and adjacent property owners to benefit from <br />its natural beauty without conflict. <br />Mr. Richardson noted some natural beauty is not there or is inaccessible, we don'twant to <br />maintain and monitor, we want to improve. <br />4 <br />
