Commissioners authorize consent agenda that includes MassDevelopment contract to support base master plan update
Summary
At its Oct. 22 meeting Barnstable County commissioners approved the consent agenda (items 8A–8I), which included a contract with MassDevelopment to have the Cape Cod Commission provide support services for a master plan update related to the regional base and surrounding communities; details of the contract were not specified on the record.
Barnstable County commissioners voted on Oct. 22 to authorize the commissioners’ consent agenda items 8A through 8I as listed on the meeting agenda. The voice vote was recorded in the meeting without a roll call.
During commissioners’ reports a member noted that the consent agenda included a contract agreement with MassDevelopment and the Cape Cod Commission to provide support services for a master plan update tied to the region’s military installation and surrounding communities. The board member described the Cape Cod Commission’s past role in the 1998 master plan and said the new contract will support a refreshed plan that identifies county investments, opportunities to collaborate with the base and communities, and potential wastewater and clean‑water strategies.
The meeting record did not include the contract text or the contract number; the board member said the arrangement had been under discussion for some time and that MassDevelopment would take part in the master plan update. The item was approved as part of the consent agenda, which the board authorized by voice vote.
Ending: Commissioners said they will review the master plan update work at upcoming municipal leader meetings and requested staff follow up with details of the contract and the schedule for public briefings.
