1. STONE WALL RESTORATION – PHASE II: Chuck H. informed the Committee that the stone wall restoration project was awarded to Morgan Stone & Landscape Company for the Middle Road and State Road sections as outlined in prior phase two plans. Chuck H. will send the abutter letters and liability release forms.
2. BROCK CALLEN SAIL MV AND CHILMARK COMMUNITY CENTER SUMMER SAILING PROGRAM: Brock Callen summarized how Sail MV has been approached by the Chilmark Community Center to manage all aspects of the summer sailing program on Menemsha Pond. He distributed a letter dated 11/28/06 outlining SailMV’s plan and request for an $11,500 CPA fund appropriation. $6500 would be used to purchase a new 25 HP, 4-stroke outboard motor for their Boston Whaler and $5000 to replace the existing seasonal floating docks that are deteriorated and unsafe. He added that on December 13th the SailMV Board of Directors would vote on whether or not the organization will integrate the Community Center’s program with its own. He added the two replacement
floating docks would be made of environmentally sound, pressure treated wood with plastic cylinders for floatation – not styrofoam.
The Committee was assured that the Sail MV program will try to give priority to Chilmark children. It was mentioned that families from any town could join the Chilmark Community Center and take advantage of its summer programs. Mr. Callen added that SailMV would have two sailing sessions each day – one from 9:00 –12 noon and an afternoon session from 1:00 - 4:00. After discussion the Committee said they would gladly schedule a special meeting to review the proposal after the SailMV Board makes its decision. The Committee will also research if this fund request is allowable under the CPA funding guidelines for a recreational use. The specific date and time for the special meeting will be determined.
3. RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: Chuck H. distributed a schedule prepared by the town accountant that projects the CPA funded rental assistance program will have sufficient funds through fiscal year 2008. A warrant article can be prepared for voter consideration at a future town meeting if additional qualified recipients are added to the program requiring additional funding.
4. MIDDLE LINE ROAD COMMUNITY HOUSING PROGRAM SUB-COMMITTEE UPDATE: Mr. Goldman updated the Committee on the progress of the permitting process for this program. The next meeting with the Martha’s Vineyard Commission is scheduled for Monday, December 18 @ 5:30 PM.
5. MINUTES: The 9/26/06 meeting minutes were reviewed. A motion to approve the minutes with minor corrections was made, seconded and unanimously approved.
6. NEXT MEETING: The next CPC meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, December 19, 2006 at 6:30 PM. All subsequent CPC meetings will be held on the fourth Tuesday of each month @ 7:00 PM – starting in January 2007. With no further business to discuss, a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and unanimously approved. The meeting adjourned at 6:00 PM.
