“Mr. MacAskill moved that they approve the approval process, and the Town Administrator's recommendation, for the applications to go through the Town Administrator. Seconded by Mr. Howell. Mr. Ballantine asked if anyone wanted to participate in public input. Lieutenant Tyldesley said that there was no one on the call. Mr. MacAskill added a closing comment, that he has spoken to other towns, and he feels that the Town of Harwich is very far ahead. This Board is supporting their businesses and he hopes that the businesses are appreciating that. The streamlined efforts will allow for people to open quickly. He is thankful that they can vote on it and hopes the businesses thrive. Mr. Howell said that he wanted to expand on what Mr. MacAskill said earlier. There has been a lot of stuff, starting with a Tornado, the budget that started upside down, the pandemic and on the wing, coming up with regulations. He appreciates what Mr. Powers has been able to pull off. They are reinventing things on the fly. Ms. Williams just wanted to mirror what they have just been saying, the business are very thankful for what the town has been doing. It is appreciated. All in favor, motion carried by unanimous vote.” (Motion: MacAskill, second: Howell)
