November 19, 2019

I have reviewed the information pertinent to the hypothetical installation of an AT&T Personal Wireless Services (PWS) omni-directional panel antenna installation on a utility pole. I have analyzed the scenario where there would be one antenna mounted with a centerline height of 30’ above ground level (AGL). This analysis considers the contributions of the AT&T PWS transmitters operating at each of the following supplied parameters:

Table 1: Transmitter / Antenna Data and Supporting Parameters for “Typical” AT&T “Small Cell” Site Transmit # and Remote Radio Antenna Frequency Output Power Antenna Manufacturer - Unit (RRU) / Gain (dBd) (MHz) † (Watts) ‡ Model Number PWS Service (Appendix B) (Appendix A) RRUS-4415 / 1930-1950 4 X 40 7.03 B25 PCS RRUS-4426 / Galtronics / 2100-2180 4 X 60 7.53 B66 AWS GQ2410-06621 (See Appendix A) RRUS-2205 / 5155-5250 2 X 0.316 1.57 UNii

Table Notes † Transmitter (Tx) Frequency: Central transmit frequency used to account for multiple channels. ‡ Maximum rated output power (per channel). Effective Radiated Power is the directional (RF) power (in watts) that would have to be radiated by a half-wave dipole antenna to give the same radiation intensity as the actual source at a distant receiver located in the direction of the antenna's strongest beam (main lobe). ERP It is equal to the input power to the antenna multiplied by the gain of the antenna. (Source Wiki). Personal Wireless Services (PWS) Technologies AWS: Advanced Wireless Services PCS: Personal Communication System UNii: Unlicensed band-ii

Note: The analyses, conclusions and professional opinions are based upon the precise parameters and conditions of this typical AT&T “small cell” installation on a utility pole with a mounting centerline height of 30’ AGL. Utilization of these analyses, conclusions and professional opinions for any personal wireless services installation, existing or proposed, other than the aforementioned has not been sanctioned by the author, and therefore should not be accepted as evidence of regulatory compliance. THEORETICAL RF FIELD CALCULATIONS - GROUND LEVELS

METHODOLOGY

These calculations are based on what are called "worst-case" estimates. That is, the estimates assume 100% use of all transmitters simultaneously, and assume the surrounding area is a flat plane.

The calculations are based on the following information: 1. Effective Radiated Power (ERP) (See Table 1 and Appendix A data). 2. Antenna height (centerline, above ground level (AGL)). Trigonometry was used to determine the resultant “RANGE”, and the antenna depression angle. 3. Antenna vertical energy patterns; the source of the negative gain (G) values. See Appendix B. Most antennas, even so-called “omni-directional” antennas, are designed to focus the RF signal, resulting in “patterns” of signal loss and gain. Antenna vertical energy patterns display the loss of signal strength relative to the direction of propagation due to elevation angle changes.

The magnitude of the RF field (the power density (S)) from an isotropic RF source is calculated making use of the power density formula as outlined in FCC’s OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01: i S = P · G Where: P → Power to antenna (watts) 4 · π · R2 G → Gain of antenna R → Distance (range) from antenna source to point of intersection with the ground (feet) R2 = (Height)2 + (Horizontal distance)2

Since: P · G = EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power), and for the situation of off-axis power density calculations, apply the negative elevation gain (G E) value from the vertical energy patterns with the following formula: S = EIRP · G E 4 · π · R2

Ground reflections may add in-phase with the direct wave, and essentially double the electric field intensity. Because power density is proportional to the square of the electric field, the power density may quadruple, that is, increase by a factor of four (4).

Since ERP is routinely used, convert ERP into EIRP by multiplying by the factor of 1.64 (the gain of a ½-wave dipole relative to an isotropic radiator). S = 4 · (ERP · 1.64) · G E = ERP · 1.64 · G E = 0.522 · ERP · G E 4 · π · R2 π · R2 R2

To calculate the % MPE, use the formula: % MPE = S · 100 MPE Page 2 of 10 Note that any loss along the horizontal direction was neglected which means the results would be the maximum values in any direction. The resultant values are thus conservative in that they over predict actual resultant power densities. The data used to prepare the theoretical RF field calculations are outlined in Table 1.

RESULTS

The results of the %MPE calculations for the summation of the proposed AT&T Mobility RF emissions are depicted in Figure 1 as plotted against linear distance from the base of the proposed utility pole in Barnstable, MA. The values have been calculated for a height of six feet above ground level in accordance with regulatory rationale. Values for 16’ AGL have also been calculated for informational purposes only as it represents the height above ground of a typical two-story structure. A logarithmic scale was used to plot the calculated values in order to compare with the MPE of 100%, which is so much larger that it would be off the page in a linear plot.

Figure 1: Theoretical Cumulative Maximum Percent MPE - vs. - Distance PWS RF Emissions in any Direction “Typical” AT&T Mobility SC Site Mounted 30’ AGL Centerline (See Table 1 parameters)

Page 3 of 10 CONCLUSION

Theoretical RF field calculations data indicate the summation of the AT&T RF contributions on a typical utility pole would be well within the established RF exposure guidelines; see Figure 1. Although the calculations assume a typically low mounting height of 30’ AGL, some applications may require the antenna to be mounted higher. In these circumstances, the increased separation between the ground and antenna would result in an even lower general public RF exposure levels. These results indicate there could be more similar installations at these locations, and still be within Federal and State guidelines for RF exposure. This report provides written proof that the proposed facilities would comply with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. These small cell antenna installations proposed by AT&T would not produce significant changes to the ambient RF environment.

We do expect advocacy of your sectors’ goals within the context of the collective mission. 3. Contribute to meeting goals. Participate by sharing ideas, asking questions, and contributing to discussion. Share your unique perspectives and experiences and speak honestly. If you state a problem or disagree with a proposal, try to offer a solution. 4. We need to think outside of the box for Provincetown to recover. Challenge the idea of “business as usual”- what does recovery look like? Can we go back or is there a new normal? 5. Success depends on participation - share ideas, ask questions, draw others out. 6. Respect others’ thinking and value their contributions. Listen with an open mind. 7. Seek first to understand and agree to disagree. It’s OK to disagree, respectfully and openly, and without being disagreeable. 8. Seek positive common ground and understanding. Speak your truth. Critique ideas, not people. Ask “what’s possible?” 9. Treat everything you hear as an opportunity to learn. Listen for the future to emerge.

These discussions and reactions will then be reflected back to the Recovery Coalition to be incorporated into the planning process

The Recovery Coalition will meet by Zoom as needed but likely once or twice a week in the beginning and much of the work will occur outside group meetings via emails and sharing material to review.

Provincetown Recovery Coalition 11 Sector Constituents

Recovery Outputs Coalition Representatives

We are looking to recommend policies and orders that could be enacted by the Town through the Select Board, Board of Health, Licensing Board, Pier Corporation or Airport Commission, and policies that could be recommended to the Governor, where applicable.

We are also looking to develop operational plans that would be broadly supported to ensure that we can maintain the effectiveness of public health and public safety while permitting residents and businesses to function as freely as possible. We expect to establish metrics to determine the impact of the plans and make corrections as necessary.

Memo

To: Select Board

From: Robin Craver, Town Manager

Date: April 23, 2020

Re: Department Update Report for the April 27, 2020 Select Board Meeting

Administration  Town Offices and Operations: Town Buildings are still closed in response to COVID-19, with staff in the buildings only for critical needs.  Recovery Coalition: Looking towards the future, the Town has formed a group of community partners to start the planning process of how the Town can successfully emerge following the pandemic.  Town Meeting: The Town Moderator has continued the Annual and Special Town Meetings to May 18. The Municipal relief legislation passed on April 3, 2020 allows for the Moderator to issue more than one Declaration of Recess and Continuance provided that each declaration is no longer than 30 days and cannot continue more than 30 days after the Governor rescinds a previously declared State of Emergency.  Town Projects:  Work on upgrading the parking equipment and renovations at Harbor Hill continue.  Veterans Memorial Community Center- The roof repair is near completion, the upgrade to the cooking hood vent in the Multi Purpose Room kitchen is set to start and the solar panel installation has resumed with expectation to be online within the month.  The Eversource battery installation and painting of the exterior of Town Hall are underway.  The replacement of the Airport roof project has had a slight delay due to environmental issues. The airport is now slated to reopen on May 9.  The lowest bidder for the Prince Street intersection/ Bradford Street bike climbing lane has been identified and we are preparing to award the project to them.  Currently negotiating a contract for the former VFW building demolition.

[email protected]  The lowest bidder for the HVAC upgrades at Town Hall has been identified but proposal was outside of available appropriations. Working with Green Communities grant program to try and close the gap.  The Invitation for Bids for the rehabilitation of Pilgrims’ First Landing Park has been prepared and will be advertised shortly.

Building Department  Applications and Licensing: The Building Department continues to review incoming applications, issue, as appropriate, permit applications, and conduct required inspections per 780 CMR MA State Building Code. The Department has reached out to all contractors and have provided them with Guidelines provided by the Commonwealth as to jobsite protocols during this pandemic. Licensing inspections conducted by the Department will occur in a consolidated time frame as businesses are permitted to re-open and will make for an extremely busy time for the two inspectors charged with conducting said inspections. The Department is formulating a plan to accommodate the business owners and maintain a high level of safety while conducting these inspections.  Flood Insurance Program: 2020 is Provincetown’s 5-year cycle visit for the Community Rating Service (CRS) program. Preparation is nearing completion for the upcoming April 27, 2020 virtual meeting with the Insurance Services Office (ISO) regarding the Community Rating System (CRS) program. Participation in the CRS Program gives the community credits that are applied to the Flood Insurance rates offered to Provincetown flood insurance policy holders. Information to provide all of the required documentation is extracted from several departments: their help has been greatly appreciated.

Council on Aging  Communications: The focus of messaging has been to reassure seniors that assistance is available and that they are not alone. In an effort to reach residents who may not have computers or choose not to use social media, the Department is maintaining contact through multiple sources, including PTV, WOMR and our monthly print newsletter. In addition, staff has been making regular check-in phone calls to over 150 seniors to maintain vital connections, reduce social isolation and monitor well-being.  Human Services Providers: All providers with office space in the VMCC are working remotely, with the Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) maintaining access to their medical storage area and continuing home-based medical services.

Emergency Management/Transportation  COVID-19 Response: The EMTC continues coordinating response, recovery, and planning initiatives amongst MEMA, the BCREPC, social service providers, the Board of Health, social service providers, public safety agencies and first responders. It is not yet clear if we have hit peak crisis in Massachusetts yet. Having enhanced current levels of surge capacity, operations are starting to

 Page 2 move away from the initial health care response and further towards policy advocacy, planning for further outbreaks and life post-first wave.  Donations: Local businesses and private benefactors have made donations of essential goods to Town. These goods are being routed to public safety agencies, first responders, and CV-19 cases requiring assistance. They include N95 and KN95 masks, surgical masks, homemade masks, toilet paper, gloves, shower chairs, face-shields, bleach and more. Recipients are grateful for the assistance and departments are heartened to see our community looking out for each other.  Parking Operations: Waiting further instruction from the State, the Department is considering all options regarding the parking season and multi-modal transit operations for the 2020 season. The EMTC will work with Town Staff, the Recovery Coalition and our transportation partners to identify the best courses of action to safely meet community need.

Environment/Conservation  Intermunicipal Shoreline Management Plan: The Environmental Planner and the Marine Coordinator are working with our counterparts in Truro, Wellfleet, and Provincetown, as well as the project contractor, Center for Coastal Studies, on wrapping up our report for the first phase of the Intermunicipal Shoreline Management Plan, as well as developing a scope for the next phase, for which we will again seek CZM Coastal Resilience grant funding in FY21.  B Street Garden: The Environmental Planner worked with members of the Board of Health, as well as the B Street Garden Advisory Group to develop safety protocols for use of the community garden off Browne Street. The Conservation Commission, which manages the garden, approved the protocols on April 21, 2020, and they will be disseminated to the gardeners.

Finance  FY20 and FY21 Budgets: Departments are curtailing spending of remaining FY20 budgets to essential expenditures only in response to the state of emergency, determining potential FY20 revenue losses, and how to avoid or limit an operating budget deficit in the general fund. Deficit spending can be amortized for up to three years on the tax rate recap. The Finance Director is working with staff to review, revise and tighten departmental budgets in response to expected revenue loss during the 2020 summer season.  State of Emergency Reimbursements: COVID-19 specific line items have been added to track all expenditures related to the state of emergency. These expenditures will be submitted to FEMA for 75% reimbursement.

Health  COVID-19 Response: Health Director Morgan Clark, the Board of Health Chair, and Board of Health Vice Chair are working daily on COVID-19 response, preparation and planning for the future.  Remote Services: All of the Health Department’s normal services continue to be offered remotely. Crystal Free and Yoga for Addiction Recovery continue online.

 Page 3 The Health Department’s website Ways to Connect when distancing provides information on how to access these and other services available to the Community.

Housing  Harbor Hill: Of the 28 units available at Harbor Hill, 15 are occupied and 6 move- ins are scheduled for May 1, for a total of 21 units. Three (3) applications are pending, with 6 additional applications in the pipeline.  Deed Restricted Units: The Housing and Economic Development Director is working with the State Department of Housing and Community Development along with Barnstable County on the resale of two deed restricted one-bedroom units to be re-sold.

Library  5th Annual Moby-Dick Marathon: Rather than completely cancel this year’s marathon, the Library reimagined and scaled it back into a virtual event. Over thirty people submitted video recordings of themselves reading their passages and Assistant Library Director, Brittany Taylor, and Amy Davies of PTV, transformed it all into something wonderful.  Operations: Library staff continues to be available by phone and email during regularly scheduled hours to assist patrons in use of electronic resources and answer any questions. Access to and use of electronic resources increases and

 Page 4 our monthly book club is now a weekly Zoom meeting that is well attended and much enjoyed by the participants.  Crop Swap: The Swap continues when items are available and it remains a hugely successful program.

Marine Services  Pier Operations: The Pier/HM office remains closed to the general public but continues to have a presence on the Pier in one form or another. Office phone lines are still open for questions or concerns, and the public can also utilize the secure drop box on the outside of the office.  Applications, Renewals and Permitting: Commercial Fishers Dock permit renewal application forms have been coming in, are reviewed, and dock assignments allocated to the recently renovated floating docks. Completed Applications must be submitted before fishing vehicles can return to the Pier. Mooring renewal applications have also started coming in, with new stickers issued via US Mail. Artist Trap Shed assignments are being confirmed with hopes that the Trap Shed community can open for the season as soon as the Emergency order is lifted. Dinghy dock and beach boat permits are being sold via phone or online and these permit stickers will be mailed once purchased. Kayak rack permits are being sold either by mail or phone.

MIS  Remote Access: MIS continues to support staff who are working remotely. The Department has tools in place that allow for remote assistance, which enables us to control a workstation remotely and troubleshoot from afar.  Remote Meetings: MIS has accelerated the migration of on-premise staff user accounts to the cloud, which activates feature-rich collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams. The Teams platform is currently being used to host various remote meetings - from small departmental gatherings, to large question and answer sessions.

Planning  Remote Board Meetings: The Planning Board, Zoning Board and Historic District Commission are all meeting virtually and continue to hold public hearings.

Public Works  Town Hall Painting: A crew from Dandi’s Contracting is working on preparing the exterior of Town Hall for painting later this Spring. The crews will work on power washing mold and debris from the exterior surface before beginning manual scrapping of loose paint. The storm windows will be removed and glazed to be replaced prior to reinstallation before final painting. The project is expected to be completed by June 1.  Demolition of Former VFW Building: The Town received five bids for the demolition of VFW building, with submitted proposal ranging from $72,500 - $490,568. The Department estimated the project cost at $90,000. The first bidder

 Page 5 was unable to secure bonding for the project and the Town is in negotiation with the second low bidder. If the Department is unable to secure a contract with this bidder, the Town may need to consider performing the work in-house.  Eversource Battery Project: The Transfer Station Battery Project continues with the installation of electrical vault boxes on Route 6, Race Point Road, and the transfer station access drive. A water main replacement will begin next week within the transfer station access road, after which the conduit between the transfer station and Route 6 will be installed underground. The project is on schedule and will be take several weeks to complete.

Recreation  Virtual Recreation Challenge: Beginning on March 18, the Recreation Department created a “virtual recreation challenge” series for the community. Staff has, and will continue to, record a visual demonstration of the activities and then children, families and community members are asked to complete what was demonstrated on the video. The Department posts a weekly video on the Recreation Department’s Facebook page of what the challenge is and each participant has a timeframe of Monday-Friday to complete the challenge. The department has published four challenges to date: Fitness, Dance Moves, Juggling and Drawing. The posts are reaching over 1500 views each week, and the Department is receiving 10 to 15 submission videos per challenge.  Bunny Drive: Due to the pandemic, the Department had to cancel the annual Spring Celebration, a collaboration between Recreation, PTA, Seashore Point and the Pilgrim Monument and Museum. In past years, all four organizations teamed up to provide a free breakfast at Seashore Point, followed by an egg hunt at the base of the Monument to celebrate the start of spring. There is usually a “Bunny” walking around for families to take pictures. The Recreation Department came up with the idea of having the “Bunny Drive” throughout the community so that everyone could wave to the Bunny. Thanks to the generosity of the Police Department, residents were able to see the Bunny in their neighborhood.  Virtual Adult Classes: The Department has transformed one of the adult fitness classes, stretch and tone, to a virtual platform on Zoom. Our volunteer instructor, Bart Murell, expressed interest in providing his class virtually. Thanks to the hard work of the Assistant Recreation Director, Stretch and Tone is up and running on Zoom, with 15-20 people exercising and socializing with their instructor and others in the class.  School Vacation Week Activities: Remote activities were set up for the Provincetown Schools students during vacation week. Divided by three age groups, children were able to participate is structured times with the Recreation counselors and their peers enjoying activities such as crafts and games.

School  Remote Learning: Provincetown Schools launched remote learning on the 2nd day of closure thanks to our technology infrastructure and the incredible work of the teaching staff. The students who receive special education services are connecting with providers on-line for Speech, Occupational Therapy and more.

 Page 6 All of our kids are receiving Art, Musical Theater, Spanish and PE along with their core subjects while our facilities are closed.  Earth Day: The entire school celebrated Earth Day’s 50th Birthday Celebration and received seed packets, posters to color, and kites to fly during the food distribution on April 21. The school provided food during vacation thanks to our volunteer staff members

Tourism Department  Public Relations: Effective April 1, 2020, the Town contracted with Conran PR, the new Public Relations firm. The Department is working with them on the Marketing/PR flow and strategic positioning through the end of this calendar year to dovetail with the response and adaptive recovery strategy currently in place. The Digital Media Selection Committee has identified the most advantageous agency for the Town of Provincetown and the Tourism Department is negotiating an agreement to meet the scope of work requirements.  Event Updates: The Department is in constant contact with the Chamber, PBG, grantees and event producers to provide the most accurate and up to date event cancelations. The PtownToruism.com Events Calendar is updated daily/as needed, and a link for most up to date information on canceled events has been added to the Tourism website. One of the most recent communications is from the General Society of Mayflower Descendants regarding the cancellation of their 2020 CONGRESS and their visit to Provincetown in September.

Town Clerk  Office Operations: The Assistant Town Clerk has been given a laptop to work remotely and will start assuming the responsibilities of the Town Clerk on May 1.  Annual Election: The warrant for the June 9 Annual Town Election will be posted next week and there may be reduced election hours in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Voting: Early and absentee voting will begin May 1.

Consent Agenda – Approval without objection required for the following items: A. Approve due date Extension for 2020 second half real estate/personal property tax bill & tax exemption applications.

Without objection Chair Abramson waived the reading of the consent items and without further objection declared the consent agenda approved.

COVID-19 Update 1. Board of Health Chair Steve Katsurinis and Health Director Morgan Clark:

Health Director Clark - Key Elements of the Governors Stay at Home Order require folks to stay home except for essential activities such as getting food, medical care and exercises. When you are out of your home, you need to stay 6 feet away from anyone who is not in your home. The Governor has given a long list of essential businesses that include groceries stores, banks and construction, those workers also be kept being apart and frequent hand washing. What we are finding in Provincetown is compliance has been excellent, as a result our numbers of COVID-19 are declining even as testing is increasing, the social distancing is working. The predictions are showing that Statewide cases may not have peaked, and the number of positive and those who have lost their lives are still painfully high. Over the past three days, Massachusetts has been the state with the third highest positive results with over 25K people testing positive, we are testing a large number of people with over 160K tested preformed statewide. Number of Positive cases are starting to flatten out but we are seeing incubation periods being long so treating the ill is far from over. Our statewide health care system is managing to serve our sick; we have new field hospitals coming online. Massachusetts has a lower number of cased of death than other states. Locally we are providing extensive range to assistant with individuals in recovery. So those in Provincetown, we provide a range of services tailored to the individual case making sure basic needs are met. Our public health nurses are also preforming contact tracing and quarantining.

Chair Katsurinis – The community has come together in a lot of ways which is really significates for us. The generosity and care we are seeing has become routine. This entire process relies on people voluntarily being cooperative with the rules. Not to say we don’t’ have enforcement mechanism and because we have been, we have saved lives and we are saving our healthcare system from having to ration care. Business owners and individuals have really stepped up and cared, and of course all the social services agencies who have taken care of everyone daily, who have stretched and reached out to help more to work together to make sure we are taking care of everyone. This terrible and scary situation has really brought out the best in people. The way that we operate with the Town Manager and town staff working with the health, emergency preparedness and our first responders, is to regularly connect with our state and county colleagues and they convince local providers and share cross pollinate information to see where the gaps might be and work together to fill those. This coordination is remarkable. We have regular calls and share information. I believe we have no gaps in where we are coordinating and providing services. The reason why the numbers are down in Provincetown is because people are staying inside and cooperating. At the local level all the way up to the state level we are working together and providing services. The other

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 2

threat we are dealing with is mental health; we have literally asked people to change their lives without knowing the end date. All of us are struggling through this, and we are providing mental health services. In our messaging, it is honestly and direct with a thread of Hope. For those who wish to volunteer, you can contact Emergency Management Coordinator Eric Sussman or your local nonprofit. We want to stress social distancing is the most effective. The CDC and the state has recommended masks where social distancing is difficult. There is more information on how to care for that on www.cdc.gov . No one should be attacked for choosing to wear or not wear a mask. We are all trying to get through this together.

Finances: Finance Director Josee Cardinal Young

As you are all aware, the FY21 is already a tight budget. We began the budget process with close to a one-million- dollar deficit. After Town Manager department reviews, the deficit was reduced to $230,000 which is where the Select Board began their budget review. A combination of additional cuts, revised budgets from the state and school and additional revenue sources, the budget was approved with a remaining tax levy capacity of $32,000.

With the COVID-19 crisis, local, state and federal declarations of emergency and shelter in place advisories taking us to the end of FY20, we predict a slow recovery of the local economy. Local receipts for FY21 are expected to be significantly lower than originally estimated. To what extent, of course, is unknown. This is where the Town’s policies of conservative budgeting and building reserves becomes abundantly important.

To address these concerns, we have considered the following: • Impact of expected decrease in local receipts from an analysis of quarterly revenue of the rooms tax, meals tax and parking • FY21 CIP o Re-evaluate project priority

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 5

o Defer or bond projects to use free cash to offset revenue losses for FY21 operating budget • FY21 Tourism Budget o Re-appropriate Tourism budget due to cancelled events for FY21 season • Reduction of FY21 Personnel Costs o Hire summer seasonal employees gradually o Reduce budgeted overtime due to event cancellations o Early retirement program - work with the state to consider an early retirement program as has been done to respond to past recessions o Furlough program - Employees could be required to take a day or week, etc. without pay during the year. This type of plan would allow furloughed workers to keep receiving benefits. (They would have to earn enough to pay for employee portions of benefits) o Defer staff Cost of Living (COLA) increases • Revise FY21 health insurance budget based on FY20 actual and CCMHG projected increase In the budgets presented, we revise the FY21 budget using two scenarios: • Scenario #1 o 45% loss of meals and rooms tax revenue o 50% loss of parking revenue • Scenario #2 o 75% loss of meals and rooms tax revenue 65% loss of parking revenue

The Board thanked the staff for their reports and expressed concerns about how the pandemic may possibly affect the budget for the upcoming fiscal year and years following. The Town Manager expressed that is report is simply a preliminary report and will be coming back to the board to discuss further.

b. Public Safety Update – Operations: Police Chief, Fire Chief and Emergency Mgt. Coordinator

The COVID-19 public health pandemic has resulted in vast service modifications to business operations throughout the private and public sectors. COVID-19 is the illness associated with the novel coronavirus. It has led to declarations of a Global Pandemic by the World Health Organization, a National Emergency Declaration by the President and a State of Emergency by both the State of Massachusetts and the Town of Provincetown.

The Town of Provincetown took early precautions to ensure that all town staff, as well as the public we serve, would remain protected.

In accordance with protocols and recommendations currently in place by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), as well as State, County and our local health department, first responders have been working together in implementing new procedures to ensure the health and safety of our community. We have been working with our public health partners and closely following COVID-19 and its potential impact on our community and emergency operations. One of our top priorities was to ensure we take the right precautions to reduce the risk of spreading the virus to our employees and at-risk populations. Additionally, we want to protect our first responders’ health, so we can continue to respond and help those who need us.

We realize everyone has their own idea of how to respond to a public health threat such as COVID-19 and we don’t want our residents or visitors to panic or live in fear. However, we know that early containment through social distancing, vigilant hygiene, staying at home except for essential needs and isolating those infected by the

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 6

virus, are the best ways that we, as a community, can work together to protect ourselves and protect our most vulnerable populations. That’s why we urge people to continue in taking extra steps to protect our community and to help prevent the risk of rapid spread of the virus locally.

Those with mild symptoms are advised to isolate themselves from others for at least 14 days and to notify their primary care physician for medical advice; they will direct you. Testing may or may not be readily available, but the patient should self-isolate regardless if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (fever, coughing and shortness of breath). Most people will not need hospitalization. There is currently no medication or vaccination for COVID-19.

Your public safety departments continue to receive and respond to calls for service, however, we have changed the manner in which some of these calls are handled. Emergency dispatchers are now evaluating non-emergency and non-priority calls, providing additional pre-screening to medical calls and when appropriate will arrange for follow-up contact by telephone instead of in-person.

Generally, we have been taking most non-priority reports and addressing appropriate public safety needs with the public by telephone. For reports that need to be handled in person, the public should be prepared to meet the officer outside or in an open-air space or environment. First responders will still respond in-person to emergencies and in-progress calls associated with a present risk to person or property. Police officers will still work to deter and prevent criminal activity through routine patrol activities and by continuing to provide a visible public presence.

Police Status and Readiness

As your Chief of Police, I can report that your police employees remain healthy and the department continues to operate at full staffing, and we are providing all essential services to the community.

In order to protect your first responders and allow them to continue to protect and serve the public, your public safety leads adopted a constantly evolving yet comprehensive COVID-19 response plan. This plan incorporated additional training, PPE protective equipment issuance to each team member, shift in operational response, pre- shift health screening, shift hand-wash and hygiene reminders, and a continuity of department services plan which included contingency plans if department leaders became ill or if staffing levels became depleted below a safe minimum. All first responders are having their temperatures taken at the start of their shift and they must affirm that they don’t present with a cough, shortness of breath, sore throat or a temperature above 99.9.

• The police began posting on their Facebook page early about the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Massachusetts. The department has continued posting about the pandemic and keeping the public informed and prepared to the best of its ability. • We started internally by giving initial instructions on personal safety strategies, including staying at home if sick, not traveling to areas where the COVID-19 virus is prevalent, and how to stay protected. All department training was suspended. Dispatchers were also instructed to begin to ask additional initial pre-screening questions to all 911 callers. • We have modified our detainee court arraignment and transport procedures to reflect changes made to court and pre-trail detention capabilities. • Further changes to operations, included suspending in-room/in-person roll calls, mandating interior cruiser cleaning prior to each shift, stocking and re-stocking PPE’s, modified responses to medical calls, criminal Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 7

process, motor vehicle stops and foot patrols, encouragement whenever possible of taking calls over the phone, limiting employee access within the police facility and further distancing strategies were encouraged with both co-workers and members of the public. • We ceased all non-essential administrative services like courtesy fingerprinting, and all police administrative employees began working remotely from home. • Community Drug Take-Back Kiosk was emptied and secured until the public health emergency is over. • With all other town building being closed (except the airport) the police station lobby was isolated and distancing boxes were highly demarked on the floor near the dispatch window. Social distancing signs have been posted on all entrances to the police station. • The police continue to support the school’s community food drop-off program. This program has been staffed with police officers for security and traffic management since its inception. • Department individually contacted, assessed and encouraged employees returning from vacation to self- quarantine for 14-days upon their return. • We have been actively sourcing with all of our local public safety agencies personal protective equipment (PPE) for first responders using regional, state, and even retail vendors in other states. • The department began enforcing our seasonal Commercial Street parking ban a week early in response to the Town’s declaration of a State of Emergency. • We have suspended our police officer entrance exam which was scheduled for this month. • All police employees have begun keeping “interaction” logs to help track back potential exposure should there be one reported on a shift. (prolonged interaction greater than 10-15 minutes or because of circumstances in an emergency contact within 6-feet) • Department members were instructed to have their names added on the Standard Ambulance Reporting Form (SARF) form should they assist hands-on at a medical call where a patient was exhibiting flu like symptoms. This is so they will receive proper infectious control follow-up from nursing staff at the hospital. • After a detainee was held with flu like symptoms last month a commercial cleaning company surface cleaned the police station and decontaminated the cell block and detention area.

For information on Town Government operations please call the Town Business Hotline at 508-413-9600 or the Department directly. Residents are asked not to dial 911 for questions about COVID-19 or coronavirus. The state has set up the phone number 211 to answer questions that residents may have concerning COVID-19.

Provincetown Fire Department

First, all morale in the department is good. I am sure that everyone is nervous, but they are following Cape and Islands protocol and being careful as they can be. To date everyone is healthy, and I hope that I am not jinxing us by reporting that.

Lower Cape transported a COVID 19 patient to the hospital on Sunday April 5th. On Tuesday, April 7th another patient with suspected symptoms was transported. We haven’t got the test results back on that patient yet.

The Paramedics and EMT’s on both of those calls followed the protocol for protecting themselves with the proper protective protection equipment.

I consultation with the Town Manager we contracted with a professional cleaning company to respond to the fire Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 8

station to clean and decontaminate both ambulances and the station.

I had a company called 24/ Trauma come to the Shank Painter Station on Wednesday April 8th and they provided deep cleaning and remediation to the ambulances and the fire station.

During this emergency I would like to get them in there once a week to sanitize everything in an effort to keep our first responders safe and healthy.

The Provincetown Fire Department and the Town’s advanced life support provider, Lower Cape Ambulance, are fully staffed and prepared to respond to any emergency. Police Officers, Firefighters and Paramedics may appear different and may be wearing additional personal protective equipment (PPE) when responding to calls. Their interactions with the public will be different and are being done out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of first responders.

If emergency fire or medical services are needed, residents should inform the 911 dispatcher if they or anyone they have been in contact with is experiencing signs and symptoms consistent with the COVID-19 virus. The dispatcher should also be alerted if individuals or anyone they live with or have come in contact with have been required to self-quarantine. The state has amended a number of its protocols to allow patients who are ambulatory to safely walk to the ambulance if they are able, or if deemed medically stable to remain in their homes after being cleared by medical control at the hospital.

I have talked with Sean O’Brien at Barnstable County Health about the field hospitals that are in the planning stages of being set up on Cape Cod.

They are working on getting one set up as a temporary field hospital supported and supervised by Cape Cod Hospital at Joint Base Cape Cod. I have been informed that they are looking at a site in the Brewster area. These field hospitals will not be a point of entry for us to transport to. They are not emergency rooms and will be used as step down units to monitor patients that may have just came off a ventilator or can’t go home because they have not been cleared yet or for some other medically necessary reason. At this time there are no plans for another site closer to Provincetown.

I have been asked about back up ambulances if a surge hits us. I spoke with Tom Ashe at the Barnstable County Sherriff’s Department Communications Division system yesterday. I have said many times that we have one of the best mutual aid systems in the country. It is set up so that when I call for a mutual aid ambulance or a fire engine or anything that we need for any incident the wheels start turning. This is all set up on running cards. They have assignments for a Structural Fire Task force, Forestry Task Force, Disaster Task Force, and the ability to create an Ambulance –Strike Team.

Every incident that can happen is covered and the mutual aid system has never failed us. These run cards and there sequencing can be found on the MassGov site under fire mobilization. Depending on the priority of the patient Med Flight air evacuation is also available to us, weather permitting.

If all else failed, we could ask Joint Base Cape Cod and the Coast Guard for assistance with transport. We could also hire private ambulance companies to be on standby. I have been told that Cape Cod Health Care Hospitals to date are not anywhere close to maximum capacity.

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 9

We realize that they are predicting that we will be reaching our peak in the next couple of weeks. We are doing our best to be ready for that prediction.

We know these are challenging times for everyone, and many things are not business as usual, but your first responders remain fully equipped to respond to anyone in need. As a community we must all do our part to flatten the curve and slow the spread of this disease. This includes members of the men and women of your police and fire departments taking extra precautions when responding to calls and interacting with our community.

Emergency Management

Emergency Management initiatives continue to address the Town’s crisis response, preparedness, and planning efforts to mitigate the current and future impact from CV-19 through close coordination with the Board of Health. Congruent to directives and action items from Governor Baker, the Department of Public Health (DPH), Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), and the Barnstable County Regional Emergency Planning Committee (BCREPC), focus centers on: information management, crisis communications, treatment and transport planning, procurement, volunteer management, public awareness, and support to the various social service organizations that continue to assess and meet the needs of our community.

The State and County continue to address medical surge capacity on Cape Cod in association with Cape Cod Healthcare (CCH). Falmouth Hospital and CCH have added an additional 120 inpatient beds. Joint Base Cape Cod has been identified amongst the first three locations to site a Medical Field Station. At the time of this writing, details from MEMA remain scarce but are expected shortly; the BCREPC anticipates several hundred beds at the Joint Base facility. There is a continued emphasis amongst lawmakers, health officials, and EMS teams to triage and reduce the burden on local healthcare facilities to ensure we have the vehicles and drivers necessary to transport those who need treatment to these facilities.

There are no sandbags or tornado shelters. Unlike natural hazards and human-made incidents, the mechanisms to combat this crisis within our populace are abstract, less intangible; our people cannot see contact tracing or the daily phone calls to positive patients. We feel but cannot touch a Stay-at-Home directive. Home-made masks skirt the line between valuable social awareness campaign, a false sense of security, and potential but limited spread against infection. Information and crisis communications remain our best tools while medical professionals and policymakers work towards solutions that address our needs beyond the town line and the scope of our local resources.

Information regarding healthcare plans and protocols, FEMA reimbursements, financial assistance to residents, public service provision, summer programming etc. flow into Town Hall from Federal and State agencies, non- profits, business partners and a host of other sources without stop. Information also changes from day to day. Weekly conference calls with the State, County, first responders, healthcare providers, and social service organizations ensure cohesion and rapid needs assessment. The flow is synthesized and channeled to the appropriate departments and communication channels. Public communications are coordinated with the designated Public Information Officer Assistant Town Manager David Gardner and released through the appropriate outlet. The Town website remains the hub for daily CV-19 updates. PTV runs public notices on the community Bulletin board. The Civic Alerts system have been used 7 times since March 23rd. Frequent updates to the @ProvincetownTownHall Facebook page have increased follower count by roughly 250 people since the onset of the virus.

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 10

The visible engagement of our citizens, community groups, and social service partners plays a crucial role in our efforts to provide individual care and assistance. Town has established a secure location to stage and distribute donated goods to the COA, SKIP, HOW, ASGCC, and other groups that serve our vulnerable populations. Our neighbors continue to liaise with staff to fundraise and procure goods for these agencies and our first responders. Town is in direct and regular contact with the COVID-19 Taskforce regarding volunteer management, future planning, medical and mental programs. We are all in this together; it is encouraging to see the Whole Community approach to Emergency Management.

What You Can Do to Help

The CDC recommends everyday preventive actions to stay informed and stay safe. Social distancing: stay at home unless for essential tasks and the use of simple cloth masks when necessary to go outside. Stay informed with reliable sources of information and share accurate information with neighbors, friends and co-workers, especially people who may have difficulty receiving or understanding the information. You have an opportunity to help those in your community who are suffering as a result of school closings, business closings and reduced operations, and social isolation. Consider these ways of helping during this challenging time:

• Donate money to local nonprofits, especially those assisting lower income families • Give money or food to your local food banks or the soup kitchen • Reach out to individuals who are at higher risk of getting COVID-19 and offer to bring them food or groceries • Find ways to support your local small businesses (take advantage of ’to go’ orders and online business options) • Connect with your friends, families and neighbors on the phone or through social media and email and help minimize the mental toll social isolation can have.

There are many acts of kindness going on in our community to make sure our friends, families, seniors, or anyone who might have trouble securing essentials have what they need. Thank you to everyone who has assisted someone in need.

Your public safety employees remain committed to our community values and the principles of Safety, Professionalism, and Community Service, and to providing the Town of Provincetown the highest quality of public safety services. We will continue to work hard to serve our community and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we all progress through these unprecedented times and unique challenges together.

The Board thanked the public safety officials who have been working to care for the community and thoroughness of the report put together. The asked how staff wished to manage complaints being received by them about visitors’ behavior while in town and what other enforcement could be done. Staff discussed social distancing and staying at home except for essentials is the CDCs recommendation and wearing a mask is more to protect others from the spread than oneself.

c. Community Development: Assistant Town Manager David Gardner

The Community Development Department continues to operate as an essential service during the State of Emergency. We continue to provide all levels of services, albeit a bit slower pace than normal. Inspectional

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 11

staff continue to maintain inspection schedules for the various construction activity ongoing throughout the Town. Licensing and Health Departments are processing seasonal business requests and business licensing inspections are occurring. The Department continues to maintain its schedule of 3 weekly regulatory board meetings through the Microsoft Teams virtual meeting format with call-in capability for abutters. We having started doing pre-development conferences over the phone, as we are still getting requests from both businesses and developers.

I have asked each discipline within Community Development to identify regulatory obstacles that many of the businesses or permit holders might encounter due to the Governor’s Order and the resulting impact on the economy. We will seek to present solutions to overcome these obstacles as they arise.

• As the Board is aware, we have been refunding Auditorium and License fees are for approved events that have been cancelled. The cancellation deadline is being waived.

• We will be waiving the minimum time frame of operations for Economic Development Permits for the year 2020, as many of the business owners will not be able to meet the requirements to be open during those periods.

• We will need to extend several of the Economic Development Permits from last year, as many will have difficulty achieving their development goals within the one-year period. We are currently reviewing this list and will work with the applicants for these projects.

• We will be relaxing our compliance program for our 110 Egress Inspections, allowing commercial accommodations more time to respond.

• Code Compliance has been focusing on ensuring that short term rental units are not being rented in compliance with the Governor’s Orders.

• Housing is working on the resale of two existing ownership units; both 1-bedroom low/moderate units;

• As of May 1st we expect 79% of the units at Harbor Hill to be occupied.

• And we are continuing to explore potential resources for both housing and businesses including potential CDBG CARES program.

Permitting trends are difficult to predict for Provincetown as our real estate market does not always follow national or regional trends. The Department’s metrics had been slightly lower than last year prior to this event. Although our regulatory permits are on par, the number of building permits and building revenue are down approximately 12%. Trends in land use and construction can take longer to identify. It is not like the stock market where there is an immediate reaction to a world event. Construction and land use projects have a longer timeline. We are certainly seeing a drop in new permits and applications during the State of Emergency, but it is unclear yet what the effect that will have on future development.

2019 2020 Compared to last year at this time Zoning Applications 62 61 98% Planning Applications 42 40 95% Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 12

Strategic Activity: What have we done: In February we were watching travel and adjusted the advertising targeting to the tank-a-way drive market March 10th Governor Baker declares a Massachusetts State of Emergency followed by the World Health Organization declares the outbreak a Pandemic on March 11th.

Reviewed our advertising campaign in place - Not appropriate or effective and paused the campaign • Needed A Plan o Immediately developed a 3-legged stool strategy . Go Dark . Provincetown Cares Message Campaign . Invitation to Visit Provincetown Campaign

o Step 1 – While Dark . Met with The Chamber and The Guild and mutually agreed on the 3-pronged strategy and the need to be in-sync with our messaging for continuity across our marketing efforts . Met with Red Thread Productions the Town’s contracted agency and our digital media company • Scraped all creative • Began identifying open space and comforting images from our asset library • Developed creative messaging for the Provincetown Cares Campaign o Step 2 – Transitioning into the Provincetown Cares Messaging . Rick Murray and PBG worked with Nadine Licostie of Red Thread Productions and made a one-minute video with images of Provincetown • Red Thread produced the video at no charge and as a gift from Nadine to the Town of Provincetown • It was published on Saturday March 28th across multiple social media platforms on Provincetown pages and was well received right out of the box . The video is featured in the Tourism “Stay Safe Out There” ads launched on Friday April 3rd as the first installation of the Provincetown Cares Messaging Campaign . The 2nd installation of the of “Stay Sage Out There” will be still images and messages of hope o Step 3 – Developing the invitation campaign . Focus on good health, comfort and wellbeing .

and Digital Media agencies . This campaign will be ready to pivot when Federal, State and Local authorities say it is safe for people to travel

• Our Recovery Approach o Recognize the need to for a new direction o Think like a start-up o Create the restart messaging o Focus on the desire to travel will be huge o Feature health and wellness o Identify the open space and comfort o Accept that summer will be different than recent decades o Promote summer with a nostalgic affection for the past, with smaller crowds and big memories o Position advertising with a push for Aug-Dec being the biggest opportunity o Expect long-hall and international travel to be the last to return o Target the drive market o Reach the 40% of the existing Provincetown visitor who lives in Massachusetts o Reach the 70 million people living within a tank-away

Glimpse at What Could Be:

Challenges: • The biggest economic shock since World War II • Consumer behaviors will change • The number of visitors will drop as much as 50% • Small business models without financial stability will struggle and some will not survive • Occupancy tax collected could be significantly reduced affecting revenue to the Town

Opportunities: • The early summer will be bleak with a bright future to follow • Leisure travel in the first industry to come back after crisis • Trip Advisor has reported a shorter travel comeback after a pandemic than a natural disaster, based on the past results from the Bird Flu, SARS, Katrina, Sandy and 911 • Trip Advisor global survey said people plan to travel by car and their preferred destination are beach towns • Trip Advisor reported people are looking to independent lodgings for vacations rather than large properties • The best years for vacation rentals was when the economy was soft and uncertain • Businesses may adopt permanent work from home operations leading to more 2nd homeowners making Provincetown their primary residence and home office. Due to concerns to meet mortgage obligations some seasonal rental properties could become year-round rentals. These activities could be the beginning of diversification in the landscape of the local economy.

Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce Radu Luca Concerns and Challenges of local business.

First off I would like to commend and thank the select board for passing the consent agenda I am sure that will provide a lot of relief to our stakeholders, second I would like to thank the town manager for her statement and Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 14

video on what lies ahead and further. I would like to echo what Tony Fuccillo said about the current and future situation with regard to our community. Here at the chamber we have been working closely with our tourism partners at regional and state levels to medicate the crisis we are currently in right now with the best of our abilities. We are hearing concerns from our members; financial, logistical and physiological factors moving forward with this pandemic and what lies beyond. Concerns about paying rent, mortgages, maintaining payroll. SBA announced difference relief programs and when speaking with lenders and banking members, there have been 1500 + loans that have been processed and approved in the outer cape, mainly Provincetown. Logistical issues that inadvertently that will occur are our workforce coming here and workforce availability. All workforce seasonal visas programs were suspended mid-March for 60 days which will bring us to mid-May or beyond when these programs will resume. We do not know if there will be a job for the already proceeded visas or visa holders that were previously approved would be able to overcome the travel bans in effect leaving their countries and coming into the United States. In terms of the physiological factors, there are concerns about whether it will be too soon to reopen the economy and if our visitors will be physiologically ready to travel and how long that might take. We do not have some or a lot of these answers, but we are trying to work together with our members and community along with our local and regional state partners to help mitigate and get through this. It takes a village. We are in this together and this too shall pass.

Provincetown Business Guild Executive Director Bob Sanborn Economic Landscape from the Business community

I have received a lot input from several of our 300 members who are largely nonessential businesses in the tourism sector in Provincetown, they are hurting and fighting to sustain. The pandemic will have long term implications for Provincetown. Given its rich cultural, history and incredible natural attributes, long term the town will survive as a destination. That is the good news, however there will be destruction and casualties in the process in business community. The short-term economic landscape is bleak and will be harmful or even fatal to some of the businesses. We are in the worst case scenario given we are being hit on several fronts at the worse time, all the variables, including; timing, cutting into the peak revenue generating season following the low revenue winter month, staffing challenges, erosion of savings, increase debt, unemployment, evaluations decline, all of this will make it difficult for many to survive if this continues much longer, it is the perfect storm. In the best-case scenario will have 90 days of no revenue. It is further compounded because Provincetown is primarily a second home community. Tourism businesses operate on cash flow, there is currently no cash flow, if a business is lucky, it has a zero cash flow, unfortunately many have negative cash flow. The nature of the lodging industry is to use advance booking to pay their winter mortgages and other operating costs. These businesses are getting into further debt by having to take out loans to repay cancelled booking. Similarly, the retail sector has already purchased their inventory and now unable to sell it. There is a ripple effect, harm is also to the workers and nonprofits and the town who are all dependent on tourism. At this point we are in loss mitigation and recovery mode. The business community creates the creation of the recovery coalition. We recommend the coalition work with other outer cape towns and the state. Our members have several suggestions and consider, a 90-day tax referral, consider deferring other licenses and town bills, free parking when the season reopens and decision in respect to canceling events should not be made preemptively and doubling down on marketing.

Town Manager Craver reminded the board and listeners that the upcoming Q&A on Wednesday April 15, 2020 will have a representative from Seamen’s Bank to speak about small business loans.

1. Public Statements – Three (3) minutes maximum. Select Board Members do not respond during public statements

Select Board Minutes Regular April 13, 2020 6:00 PM Page 15

• Rick Murray – Shout out to Robin and her staff, I was blown away by everyone’s reports. They were very thoughtful and comprehensive; I look forward to moving this town forward. I cannot tell you how very proud of every department head who wrote those reports, a breath of fresh air, great job Robin and staff.

2. Select Board Member’s Opening Statements – (Votes may be taken) • Lise King – I acknowledge and express my condolences to everyone who has been touched by this illness. Our hearts go out to the love ones of John Perrone. During our MMA COVID-19 call, they started the meeting with a tribute to former Springfield councilman Paul Kalill, his daughter Ann is one of our beloved local year rounder. I want to say to all of you were are here and our hearts and prayers go out to you. Anyone in need of support, please reach out to someone to speak to. A group of mental health professionals are staffing a stress support hotline between 11am and 7 pm, 508-309-5848. Thank our hard- working staff, town manager and board of health and health department, who have stepped up communication with the community. I would like to take a moment to remember who we are as a community in Provincetown. Over these past few weeks, we have seen the best of our community emerged. Our local restaurants and nonprofits have been providing services to our community, our local food growers and fisherman are giving the community access to locally sourced food. We have seen our first responders and essential workers risking their lives to keeping our community fed and safe. We have been treated to our community come together virtually, bringing us more together. People from all walks of life have changed their lives for the safety of the community as a whole. Provincetown has truly become one. While we have risen to the occasion, to be one Provincetown does not mean we need to speak with one voice. It does concerns me when we have a lack of respectful debate for open debate. The situation we are in effects everyone, many community members have expressed ideas, and their voices, should be listened to as well. We need to promote participation. Provincetown has faced hard times before. We are dreamers and survivors and we will continue to support one another. • Louise Venden – I want to thank staff on their complete reports and their ongoing efforts to keep everyone safe. Just as important, everyone who has observed the Heath order and safely reached out to help others, and a special thanks to the many essential employees. I am much more focused around my role as a Select Board member, working with staff and getting the job done. I am going to conform to the goals and direction of the Select Board and will stand behind the direction and decision of the board as a whole. This meeting is the Select Board’s first chance to see staff proposals to revising the fiscal 2021 budget due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on calls and concerns I have received; I have serious concerns on the long-term effect. It is important for us to take our time and remember to collaborate. We need to settle back and focus on the important things about this town. I will continue to search for all the best information I can. I hope the board will have an opportunity to have more robust conversation about the future. We are all so proud to be a part of this incredible community. • John Golden – I want to thank everyone in town who is really stepping up. All the mask maskers who are making masks for the essential workers and the rest of the community. People are making all these comments about people not wearing masks, if you stay in your home, this will not be a problem. There was a lot of animosity brought against the town staff and board, but the bottom line, when you are causing lack of trust, its wrong. I work with everyone. Virus can affect me quite seriously; I am here to work for the town and that is what I am doing. I have no self-serving goals in this. For right now, let’s get through what we need to get through, so the community can survive in the aftermath. • Robert Anthony – I really want to give a shout out to Robin, the town manager and her excellent staff that puts everything together and makes this work. I cannot say enough regarding her presentation as well as the department heads. We can all work out our differences, but now is the time to come together. The

men and women who work for the town of Provincetown are excellent. • David Abramson – A big shout out to Robin and staff, while the reports we heard were lengthy and long, it is a great turning point, the next step is doing some action with it and debating as a group. One thing I would like to note, I do a lot of walking and running and I have to say 90% of the people I saw were either doing safe social distancing, some had mask and some didn’t, which is what ever feels comfortable to you when you are in the outdoors. I didn’t see packed parking lots and parade of people. The few times I have gone into the grocery store, 99.9% have been wearing mask. I’d like to thank everyone who is taking to heart the advisory. It is tough, as someone who manages a business, the difficult to walk and who knows how fast the relief will be coming through. The banks themselves have been wonderful so if you think you are going to have difficulty with a bill, I urge you contact your lender. I want to point out, the due date for the 2020 for real estate and personal property tax, has been extended from May 1st, 2020 to June 1st, 2020. Due date for application for property tax exemption has also been extended to June 1st, 2020. We are going to be going into a difficult stage as we move from preparing to planning. We are going to be several more weeks of social distancing and wearing mask, it is going to become tedious. There is a lot of different things to reach out to, COVID-19 hotline, and online 12 step meetings; if you are having a hard time finding this information, call town hall and they will help you. We are a resilient community and I know we are in this together. Yes, the town will reopen, but it will be done in a way that will protect public safety and also be able to support our businesses and employees. • 3. 7 PM Public Hearings – (Votes may be taken on the following items) A.

We should really thank them for their work and their diligence.
