The original loan amount was $350,000; the outstanding balance as of this date is $165,076.41. Mr. Gervais has applied to increase his line of credit through Main Street Bank (MSB) from $120,000 to $500,000. The bank has requested that we subordinate our loan in order to approve his request. Mr. Gervais had struggled in the past with making some of his loan payments but is now current and has made on-time payments for approximately 18 months. The MRPC’s Executive Director recommends that the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission subordinate its current debt to MSB. The agency’s loan will remain unchanged. According to MSB, the current value of the above-referenced property is approximately $3.5 million. With the approval and funding of his credit line, his total potential debt would be up to $815,076.41 for a total property value to an outstanding loan amount ratio of 4.3:1. RESOLUTION The Montachusett Regional Planning Commission hereby authorizes its Chairman Guy Corbosiero and Executive Director, Glenn P. Eaton to execute any and all paperwork that may be related to the borrowers proposed refinancing with said institution, see below.

Munroe- yes R. Swartz- yes S. Donahue- yes 5.9 MMDT vs. CD - Rate Comparison – Information Only On February 9th, Laura Shifrin, MRPC’s Treasurer asked MRPC’s management team if we could move a portion of our agency’s cash currently held in the Massachusetts Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT) account into a higher-yielding account such as a certificate of deposit (CD). According to the recording of the meeting, Laura stated that it was possible to earn 4.2% on a three-month CD, 4.4% on a six-month CD, and 4.6% on a 12-month CD. Currently, MRPC uses MMDT to safely store the organization’s cash that exceeds our monthly operating needs. According to our most recent statement from MMDT, MRPC is earning 4.77% in this account which is 0.17% (or 17 basis points) to 0.57% (or 57 basis points) higher than the aforementioned CD rates. Additional information below has been provided by Ms. Ford (Table 1). Table 1  5.10 Office Activities MRPC recognizes the importance of team building among staff. Since the beginning of 2020, we have either worked remotely or on a hybrid schedule of two days in the office and three days remote. We have relatively new employees who never had the opportunity to get to know their coworkers. We have scheduled several team-building activities and or days to help close that gap. In January, MRPC staff elected to hold our first Food Drive. Collectively we decided that we would choose the Montachusett Veterans Outreach Center (MVOC) as the recipient of our donation. We collected food and household items for approximately 6 weeks. We collected canned goods, water, pasta, dry beans, assorted beverages, cereal, toothbrushes, toothpaste, can openers, tissues and so much more. MVOC, was very grateful to all staff for such a generous donation. Our next planned activity is Tuesday, March 14th which is Pi Day. MRPC staff are planning to celebrate “Pie Day”. Our sign-up sheet includes dirt pie (pudding pie), maple cream pie, strawberry pie, blueberry pie, pumpkin pie and several more. 7:30 PM 6.

DeRoy- yes S. Donahue- yes REPORT: For matching funds for the Federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance (PWEAA) 2020 Grant Proposal MRPC has submitted a competitive, Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) grant application to the US Department of Commerce (DOC), Economic Development Administration (EDA). The proposal is entitled Future Industrial Lands for Long Term Economic Recovery and Resiliency (FILLTERR). The purpose of the grant will be to fund a multidisciplined analysis of the lands most suitable for business development throughout the entire region, leading to the retention and creation of jobs for inhabitants of the entire region, thus benefitting all communities. For example, industrial lands will not be developed in all communities throughout the region. This is more likely to occur in the more urbanized and some suburban communities than in out rural towns. However, the companies that will locate in the more urbanized sections of the region will provide jobs to inhabitants throughout the entire region. This proposal is intended to include an 18-month grant term, ideally from April 2023 through the October 2024. The Planning and Development Director and Executive Director prepared and submitted this grant proposal. EDA requires a dollar-for-dollar match to receive this competitive planning grant. On February 9th, the Commissioners voted to approve a total of $179,314. However, the EDA has requested that we reduce our matching funds amount to $134,073 as the EDA will reduce its potential grant awarded to an equal amount. MRPC’s Executive Director recommends the use of the following, existing State contract dollars which total $134,073 and is broken down as follows: • $40,000 from two contracts with the State Planning Assistance Grant (PAG) program providing relevant planning assistance in Ashburnham, Hubbardston, Phillipston, Townsend, Lunenburg, and Shirley; • $44,073 from the existing contract between MRPC and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT, where only a portion of the 20% in State matching funds will be used as matching funds) for the completing of transit and transportation planning projects related to moving the workforce  and goods and services through the region supporting the regional economy); and, • $50,000 in existing DLTA program funds from the FY23 MRPC’s Budget (DLTA Program Year 16) for $25,000 and an additional $25,000 from the FY24 Budget (DLTA Program Year 17) for projects that complement this proposal (i.e. planning assistance to the “MBTA communities,” downtown zoning, economic development planning in one of our rural communities, and transportation circulation planning). Matching dollars from the Planning Assistance Grants (PAGs) (contracts between Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs), MassDOT-MRPC contract, and Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development for the District Local Technical Assistance contracts will be available during the period of performance of the EDA planning grant, and the funds are not conditioned or encumbered in any way that may preclude their use consistent with the requirements of EDA investment assistance. (These are requirements of the EDA and MRPC is in full compliance.) The use of LTA funds as matching funds for the FILLTERR grant is not recommended at this point. Using these funds would contribute to a small increase in the agency’s overhead rate. As a total of $134,073 can be raised by the MRPC in matching funds, the total amount of the grant proposal will be equal to this amount, so the total project cost would be $268,146. RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED that the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission approves of the Executive Director’s request to nullify the vote of the Commissioners taken on February 9, 2023, to match up to $179,314, and use the funds following, lesser amount as detailed above, totaling $134,073 as matching funds against the agency’s FILLTERR grant proposal to the US EDA. Having no objections, A. Pease moved to accept the resolution as presented. Motion was seconded. Roll call vote followed: A. Pease- yes B. Yocum- yes G. Tillotson- yes G. Corbosiero- yes K.

Donahue- yes REPORT: Federal Economic Development Administration (EDA), Annual Planning Grant Proposal, Matching Funds Request of Commissioners Annually, MRPC applies for and receives $70,000 in Economic Development Planning Grant funds from the Federal Economic Development Administration (EDA). The Planning and Development Director is in the process of completing this year’s grant application. The term of the grant commences each April 1st and ends on the following March 31st. EDA requires a dollar-for-dollar match in order to receive this annual entitlement planning grant. MRPC staff recommend the use of: • $70,000 in DLTA program funds for projects that are related to economic development planning (i.e. infrastructure analyses, downtown zoning projects, and housing planning services). DLTA Program Year 16 project requests that have been approved by the Commissioners to support the matching funds requirement are: • Shirley, Sterling, Townsend, and Westminster: Assistance complying with the new Chapter 40A, Section 3A for MBTA Communities at an estimated cost to be no less than $40,000 (or approximately $8,000 for each of the five communities); • Groton: Economic and other impacts of a new regional music performance center on the town at an estimated cost to be no less than $10,000; • Hubbardston: Zoning study to promote and accommodate agricultural and eco- tourism to further the economic development goals of the town at an estimated cost to be no less than $10,000; and • Ayer: Performing a modified build-out analysis to determine the infrastructure capacity of the town to accommodate the buildout of their downtown using their new form-based code districts at an estimated cost to be no less than $10,000. Total DLTA funds for match: $70,000. The above projects are directly related to evaluating economic impacts of new businesses, determining barriers to creating and expanding business opportunities, and housing the workforce in our region which are included within the scope of services for the EDA Annual planning grant. The DLTA contract was fully executed in January 2022, its funding will be available during the period of performance of the EDA planning grant, and the funds are not conditioned or encumbered in any way that may preclude its use consistent with the requirements of EDA investment assistance. (These are requirements of the EDA and MRPC is in full compliance.) MRPC’s DLTA contract with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts states as an example of eligible activities “Planning Ahead for Growth: Planning and implementation activities that encourage and support economic development opportunities,” to promote economic development in the Montachusett Region utilizing DLTA funds. MRPC’s planning services to be delivered to the aforementioned communities complement the EDA planning grant program and our scope of services.  RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED that the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission approves of the Executive Director’s request to use $70,000 (+/-34%), of the total DLTA award of $207,474, as matching funds against the annual EDA planning grant. G. Corbosiero pointed out the date of 2022 should read 2023. Having no objections, S. Donahue moved to accept the resolution as presented. Motion was seconded. Roll call vote followed: A.
