The meeting came to order at 6:00 PM. The Committee appointed Warren Doty as acting Chairman for the evening’s agenda.
CPA FUND BALANCES: Chuck H. informed the Committee that the Town received 60 percent FY 2010 matching funds from the Commonwealth. An updated statement of projected FY 2011 fund balances was distributed. The following is a summary:
Affordable Housing Reserve: $81,155
Open Space Reserve: $91,932
Historic Preservation Reserve: $89,150
Community Preservation Budgeted Reserve: $82,200
Undesignated Community Preservation Reserve: $72,415
OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION DISCUSSION: Mr. Carroll reopened the discussion of a possible land acquisition and swap that might provide additional parking space for the Hariph’s Creek boat launch ramp users. Chuck H. reminded the Committee it explored one possible solution involving three small parcels of vacant land off Moses West Road several years ago. After discussion, Mr. Carroll offered to research several options for Committee review at the November meeting.
MV MUSEUM APPLICATION FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUNDS: Chuck H. distributed the MV Museum’s application and request for $8,700 of CPA Historic Preservation funds to preserve its rich collection of historic documents. The total program will cost $154,000 and take approximately two years to complete. Chilmark’s share was prorated based upon its year-round population of 843. The Committee discussed the benefits of this program as it contains many of Chilmark’s historic records. A subsequent motion was made to recommend this appropriation to voters for consideration at the April 2011 Annual Town Meeting. The motion was seconded and approved with five in favor and one abstention (Mr. Healy).
MEETING MINUTES: The September 15, 2010 meeting minutes were reviewed. A motion was made to approve the minutes with a minor correction. The motion was seconded and approved by consensus.
NEXT MEETING: The next meeting is November 17, 2010 @ 6:00 PM.
With no further business to conduct the meeting adjourned at 6:45 PM.
Respectfully submitted, Chuck Hodgkinson, CAS.
