<div dir="auto">Hi all, thanks so much for the robust response to my question. We have moved forward by addressing the individual directly, sending an email acknowledging the incident but not calling it out by name and seeing the intention to adopt a group agreement on inclusive language at the next meeting, and by reaching out directly to the POC members of the committee. More work to do for sure and I am looking forward to kicking out DEI strategic planning next month.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Corrin</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 30, 2023, 12:00 PM <<a href="mailto:massplanners-request@masscptc.org">massplanners-request@masscptc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send MassPlanners mailing list submissions to<br>

Hi Corrin,<br>
<br>
I?m sorry to hear about this as well. I am similarly glad that you are sharing this with the listserv ? it?s an experience that many of us are likely familiar with but which we all can get better at responding to.<br>
<br>
I was going to share our group agreements guide as well, so thank you to Maureen for sharing that. You may also find some helpful information about responding to this (and of course setting up your DEI committee ? exciting to hear that!) at the MA DEI Coalition?s website: <a href="https://www.mapc.org/resource-library/ma-municipal-dei-coalition/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mapc.org/resource-library/ma-municipal-dei-coalition/</a>. The Coalition is open to folks across the state, including future members of your Committee.<br>
<br>
MAPC and the Community Engagement Department has facilitated several conversations like this with committee members. I?d be happy to touch base with you about this if that would be helpful (or connect you with staff at MAPC who have also had these conversations).<br>
<br>
One suggestion I might make (without knowing very much about what you?re planning to do or what the committee is like) is to have a conversation (one-on-one, or with you and the chair) with the individual first explaining the issue and what your follow up will be. That has been an approach we have used in these conversations and has helped to ensure that the individual has the time/space to digest and learn.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

Hi Corrin,<br>
<br>
I am sorry to hear about your recent experience. I am glad that you are sharing this with the massplanners listserve.<br>
<br>
The Montague Planning Department has started to introduce group agreements at the beginning of all community engagement events. I think group agreements could easily apply to boards/committees.<br>
<br>
Group agreements are rules, intentions, or guidelines for behavior and interaction that are communally formulated and agreed upon. They are a useful tool for fostering participation, inclusivity, and habits of explicit consent and accountability.<br>
<br>
MAPC offers great guidelines on this. I recommend checking them out via this link: <a href="http://www.mapc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MAPC_Group-Agreements-Guide_Final_Update.pdf" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mapc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MAPC_Group-Agreements-Guide_Final_Update.pdf</a><<a href="http://www.mapc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MAPC_Group-Agreements-Guide_Final_Update.pdf" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.mapc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/MAPC_Group-Agreements-Guide_Final_Update.pdf</a>><br>

<br>
Hi Jeff,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your thoughts. To clarify, I meant the term "script" to mean something that the Chair reads verbatim at the start of each meeting, which would more set an intention for respectful dialogue than dictate the actual words people should use. It would not be a script as in a menu of words that members were allowed to use.<br>
<br>
For clarity, because it seems a lot of people are thinking he used the term "oriental" -- the term that the person used was "yellow", which I did Google frantically during the meeting and found that it is in fact considered a slur by many Asian-American authors writing on the subject. Is it the same as using the N word or the C word (? -- but don't want to get into typing all of these words!)? Maybe not, but I also don't think that's for me to decide as a white person. Something especially bothers me about this instance, and why I don't want to leave it to others to correct, is that we have two youth liaisons on this committee, one of whom is Asian-American and the other of whom is the only other POC on the Committee. This is their first time participating in an official public body, and they both look to established leadership for guidance on how to act and participate. While it may be that older generations grew up with this word being part of acceptable terminology, this younger generation certainly knows that this word is unacceptable and offensive and I can't help but feel that insofar as neither I nor the Chair addressed it in the moment, that we have failed them and my concern is that they may feel uncared for or even unprotected in a system which already doesn't make itself accessible to people of their age.<br>

<br>
Being careful not to also put my foot in mouth, was what he said not a ever a slur, but rather an outdated term? I?m thinking something like, ?oriental.? I?ve been taken to task for this offense, and yet a Chinese-owned restaurant in Amherst recently opened as ?Oriental Flavor.?<br>
<br>
Moreover, if clearly not intended as a slur, in fact positive, I think it?s best to leave this person?s vocabulary alone. If someone individually wishes to take it up with the person - fine.<br>
<br>
I also think the ?script? about how people must choose their words at meetings sounds like an overreach, too controlling, approaching censorship.<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
There was an incident at a public meeting I was staffing earlier this week where a Committee member used a (totally surprising, archaic, uncommon) racial slur to refer to residents of Asian descent. This person clearly did not understand that the term he used is offensive, and he was actually trying to make a positive point about how he is glad to see kids of all skin colors playing together at recess.<br>
<br>
Both the Chair and I were taken aback and the matter went unaddressed during the remainder of the conversation. We are now trying to strategize on two actions: 1. to send an email to the whole Committee acknowledging the event, and addressing it directly while trying not to shame the Committee member; and 2. develop a script to be read and agreed to at the start of each meeting that would set a standard for the type of language Committee members should use to refer to people, groups, ethnicities, etc. based on respect and inclusivity. (I am aware of the recent SJC decision re: the Southboro civility case.) No members of the public were in attendance so I don't personally feel that this one particular event needs to be addressed in a public venue.<br>
<br>
Do you have any resources or examples you could share about how you have addressed events like this before? I would be interested in seeing anything related to either 1 or 2 -- and I am sure this information would help a few other communities out there as well! By the way -- we are in the process of setting up our inaugural DEI Committee (advisory to the Select Board), so while I hope that that body will have resources to share in the future, they have not yet formed. We are also kicking off an internal DEI strategic planning process this spring.<br>

BOSTON ? Governor Maura T. Healey ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at all state buildings in remembrance of former State Representative and political activist Mel King and issued the following statement.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
?Mel King?s work and legacy reverberate throughout Boston and well beyond the borders of Massachusetts. This loss will be felt just as widely. A dedicated public servant and civil rights champion, he stepped up to challenges that few could imagine taking on, brought people together, and never stopped advocating for racial justice. I urge all Massachusetts residents to join me in honoring his life and contributions, holding his loved ones in our hearts, continuing his work toward equity and justice.?<br>

For communities with a retail/medical marijuana ordinance:<br>
<br>
Does your ordinance restrict when a dispensary or retail marijuana establishment can be open to the public? If so, what are the limitations?<br>
<br>
For example, our ordinance gives the SPGA the power to set hours of operation and also generally restricts all retail activities to 10 AM - 7 PM.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Not really looking for technical/legal references/citations, but the Board of Selectmen has Small Cell application on a residential street. A neighbor is asking questions regarding potential impacts: health, environmental, property values; as well as if it can be denied or be told to locate somewhere else.<br>
<br>
I?m guessing this has been dealt with in numerous communities, and that the FCC makes these very difficult to deny. But correct me if I?m wrong.<br>
<br>
If any of you have dealt with this and have staff reports or other FAQ?s, etc, including targeted to lay residents and board members, it would be great if you passed it along to our Board.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>

Hi Mike:<br>

The City of Greenfield has the following language in its Zoning ordinance:<br>
<br>
"(3) The hours of operation of Marijuana Establishments shall be set by the<br>
Special Permit Granting Authority, but in no event shall said Marijuana<br>
Establishments be open and/or operating between the hours of 10:00 PM and<br>
7:00 AM."<br>

Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
Yes, currently the SPGA is given the discretion to set hours from 8:00 a.m.<br>
to 8:00 p.m.; the Municipal Council however is in the midst of contemplating<br>
a zoning amendment to alter the hours from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.<br>
<br>
Take Care,<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
For communities with a retail/medical marijuana ordinance:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Does your ordinance restrict when a dispensary or retail marijuana<br>
establishment can be open to the public? If so, what are the limitations? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
For example, our ordinance gives the SPGA the power to set hours of<br>
operation and also generally restricts all retail activities to 10 AM - 7<br>
PM. <br>

Good afternoon,<br>
<br>
I am wondering if any municipalities have implemented a social media use policy in their PB Policies & Procedures? Referencing the MMA Best Practices Series (Jan 2019) [<a href="https://www.mma.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/mma_best_practices_vol4_jan2019.pdf" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mma.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/mma_best_practices_vol4_jan2019.pdf</a>] page 7.

Avon would be interested.<br>
<br>
I do semi-recall there being a procurement process the town needs to follow in a private construction/municipal lease-back. (in this case, possibly only applying to the building the town leases back, with maybe some different requirements (if any) for the rest of the development. Prevailing wages might need to be considered, also.<br>
