-
1. NEW CPC MEMBER: The Committee welcomed Russell Maloney as the Conservation Commission’s representative replacing Bruce Bartels.
2. PROJECT UPDATE: The status of the stone wall and public vista restoration projects was discussed. The stone wall restorations are complete and the Quitsa Pond and Clam Point Cove public views should be completed by the end of February. The final invoice for the stone wall restorations was approved as well as the invoice for the Peaked Hill view clearing.
3. APRIL 24, 2006 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT ARTICLES: The draft text for two proposed warrant articles was reviewed and discussed. The Committee moved, seconded and unanimously approved the Housing Committee’s request and proposed article to replenish the Rent Assistance Fund with a $55,000 appropriation. The Committee also moved, seconded and unanimously approved the article, and proposed $15,005 appropriation to expand the stone wall restoration project. This expansion will combine a transfer of the unspent balance of $3,005 from the original $17,000 stone wall restoration project and add $12,000 from the Historic Preservation Reserve Fund to that amount. The Committee also agreed to recommend but not immediately spend the additional stone wall
restoration funds – if approved by Town voters. This delay will give the Committee and voters more flexibility to act on a potentially higher priority historic preservation project in Menemsha Village.
4. MENEMSHA HARBOR FISHERMEN SURVEY: Two responses to the survey were reviewed and discussed. The Committee will revisit this input and opportunity at the next meeting.
5. DRAFT CPC 2005 ANNUAL REPORT: A draft 2005 Annual Report was reviewed. A motion to approve the report with a minor correction was made seconded and unanimously approved.
6. FISCAL YEAR 2007 BUDGET: A motion to approve the draft FY 2007 budget was made seconded and unanimously approved.
7. CPA FUNDS UPDATE: The CPA funds update through 12/31/05 was reviewed. There were no issues.
8. MEETING MINUTES: A motion to approve the November 22, 2005 meeting minutes as presented was made seconded and unanimously approved.
9. NEXT MEETING: The next CPC meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, February 28, 2006 at 7:00 PM.
With no further business to discuss a motion to adjourn was seconded and unanimously approved. The meeting adjourned at 7:50 PM.
Respectfully submitted, Chuck Hodgkinson, CAS.
