October 5, 2005
Home Port Restaurant -- Riggs Parker requested information regarding the pond at the Home Port, he asked why the pond is green. The Board members indicated that it has always looked that way. Although the septic system may contribute to the situation, the main reason is due to run off from the parking lot, Coast Guard hill, and from North Road, as far away as Larsen Lane.
Menemsha Rest Rooms B The Board asked Sylvia to send a letter to the Selectmen, informing them that the quality of service at the rest rooms in Menemsha is not what it was in the past. They would like the Board of Selectmen to request better service.
