5 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> August 10, 2004 <br /> sPlanning Board/Cape Cad Commission�DCPC: (continued) <br /> Mashpee Fire Chief George Baker suggested the Town move forward to <br /> review current issues, permitting procedures and enforcement. In his <br /> opinion,the Town is not exercising its practices and procedures taking <br /> costly time to educate versus utilizing the practice of stronger court and <br /> enforcement procedures. <br /> Chief Baker recommended the Town make a leadership decision to first <br /> prioritize and identify issues of concern using the Total Quality <br /> Management(TQM)process to determine the appropriate direction for the <br /> Town. The determination of a DCPC nomination would then become <br /> another tool for the Town to consider after the initial process is identified. <br /> As an example, Chief Baker made not of proper mitigation planned in the <br /> area of Quinnaquisset Road and Route 28 that successfully contained a <br /> recent oil spill. Priorities identified by the Fire Department include fire <br /> sprinklers, water trucks and egress. If water quality is deemed the major <br /> issue, it was suggested the Town work with the Water Department to build <br /> upon a plan for the Town. <br /> When asked who is responsible to draft a plan, Ms. Fenn indicated that it <br /> would depend upon the amount of assistance a town would require. It was <br /> noted that the Commission drafted implementing regulations for the Town <br /> of Bournedale. The Town of Sandwich completed their own application. <br /> Planning Board Chair Beverly Kane stated that a DCPC would become the <br /> tool to allow the Planning Board time to review the problems the Town is <br /> facing. The DCPC would provide for structure that the Town is missing. <br /> She suggested the Town consider a Town wide DCPC to serve as an <br /> umbrella to address the issues. <br /> Tom Fudala,the Town Planner recommended to determine the types of <br /> districts of critical planning concern that the Town is attempting to <br /> accomplish and then proceed in that direction. <br /> Joyce Mason, Town Manager strongly recommended that a planning <br /> session be conducted with applicable regulatory boards to review priorities <br /> for the community. Ms. Mason indicated that it is important to review the <br /> financial impact and stability of the Town. Revenue impacts and growth <br /> are used in bond ratings which give strength in the ability to repay debt. <br />
