Up Island Regional School District / Superintendent of Schools:
Chairman Doty said that the Selectmen’s Office has asked the Superintendent’s office to return to Chilmark to clearly explain the borrowing of $995,000.00 which came to the Selectmen’s office after the FinCom budget hearings had been completed. The amount of the borrowing was already figured into the UIRSD FY17 budget, but it was not broken-out as a borrowing and described or discussed at the Fin Com budget hearing.
Amy Tierney gave an outline of the projects (repairs) the borrowing would cover for both the West Tisbury School and Chilmark School. Robert Lionette gave a clear description of the work to be done to the HVAC system in the Chilmark School. Chairman Doty thanked the Superintendent and staff for returning tonight and clearly explaining this borrowing plan.

North Road at Spring Point / drainage project:
Chairman Doty said we have a plan submitted by engineer Kent Healy to correct a problem with water on the road at entrance to Spring Point Road off of North Road.  Robin Hyde the caretaker of Spring Point said after reviewing the plan that Mr. Healy submitted he thought that the 8 foot culvert is too small but other than that it looks fine.

Selectmen Rossi said he and Highway Superintendent Keith Emin, Tim Carroll and engineer Kent Healy went to the site. They met Robin Hyde and Mr. Kass to see where there have been some drainage issues at the entrance to Spring Point off of North Road.

Discussion about who is responsible for paying for the project took place. Mr. Rossi said that the town may incur the responsibility of paying for the new culvert but believes Spring Point Association should pay for the new asphalt apron.

Mr. Hyde said that the Spring Point Road Association met last night and reported the length of the asphalt needed. Mr. Hyde said the 4 foot apron over the culvert may be the town’s responsibility. Mr. Rossi said usually a developer pays for the access to a development.
Mr. Rossi also said that traditionally an association usually takes over an expense created by the development and upkeep of development.  

Mr. Carroll said there was discussion of directional boring from the Vagelos’s property to clear the water from the road. Mr. Rossi confirmed that there was discussion to bore under North Road towards Blueberry Ridge to divert the water entirely away from Spring Point entrance.  
Mr. Emin got an estimate for the boring proposal $10,000.00. Mr. Rossi said he respects
Mr. Emin’s recommendation but would like this recommendation to be coming from an engineer prior to spending town money.

Chairman Doty said that the drainage and the culvert are within town bounds and therefore our responsibility. Tim Carroll said he spoke with Mr. Kass today and Mr. Kass’s response was they (the road association) were not going to pay for the apron or beautification. Mr. Carroll said that the town would cut a trench in the apron and replace the culvert.
Mr. Malkin moved to approve the Town doing (paying for) the culvert project and drainage ditch with the condition that the apron (asphalt) and repairs to apron due to the replacement of the culvert is Spring Point Road Association’s financial  responsibility. Mr. Rossi seconded the motion. SO VOTED: 3 Ayes

Lucy Vincent Road:
Chairman Doty said Jim Glavin (of DECA) is here tonight to propose diverting runoff from Azalea Lane from running onto Lucy Vincent access road. Chairman Doty attended a site visit to this area and recommends this be addressed as soon as possible. Mr. Doty recommended spending up to $4,500.00 for these immediate repairs.

Mr. Rossi moved to approve spending up to $4,500.00 (from the Beach Department facilities maintenance budget line) on the plans submitted by Jim Glavin for the Lucy Vincent Road.
Mr. Malkin seconded the motion. SO VOTED: 3 Ayes

Tea Lane Road:
Mr. Carroll said that we will discuss Tea Lane at the next Selectmen’s meeting May 17, 2016.
Mr. Glavin mentioned (but no deliberation ensued) areas that needed more materials added on Tea Lane.

Harbormaster Updates:
Harbormaster Dennis Jason said the regular spring site visit “walk around” has not taken place yet. Chairman Doty asked for a brief outline of what needs to be done prior to this summer season in Menemsha harbor.

Mr. Jason said the docks will be cleaned; that Seth Karlinsky has ordered a dumpster.  
Mr. Jason mentioned the harbor piles that will be replaced. Also John Packer is to return to finish bolting up the piles in the creek. Mr. Jason said he is diverting from his plans for pilings to put pilings at the commercial dock this season instead of what his previous plans of piling replacement at the harbor side going towards the floating dock.

Mr. Jason said caplog replacement can be completed by Seth and himself. Charter floating -dock float replacement was discussed. Mr. Jason said there will be new planking to replace missing planks down by the lobster fisherman.   

Mr. Jason said the new power pedestals arrived and will be installed. The electrician Tom Colligan came by to the site to inspect the pedestals and review documents for installation and figure what it will take to complete this job. Mr. Jason said a plumber will need to be part of the pedestal installation and he has notified Mr. Robinson (the plumber) about this job.  
Mr. Jason said the moorings were all done last year so they are ready for this season.
Mr. Jason said he is going to replace the mooring balls on the inside of the harbor as someone was using them as target practice with a gun.

Chairman Doty recommended a “walk about” next week. Tuesday May 10, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. will be the site visit with Menemsha Harbor walkabout. Mr. Jason said there was nothing new to report concerning dredge that was left in our channel. Mr. Jason said other than that the government is upset about this as well as the state of Massachusetts and town of Aquinnah.  Improper lighting is also a great safety concern to the town and harbormaster. Mr. Jason may light a regulatory buoy on either side of the dredge. Chairman Doty asked all persons to do whatever they can to move this dredge out of the channel. Mr. Jason will report back to the Selectmen.
Chilmark Library:
Library Director Ebba Hierta reported that the library has a senior staff member who is dealing with some medical issues and it’s apparent that the staff member will be out for the summer.
Ms. Hierta thanked Tim Carroll for his efforts in helping to come up with a plan.
The Library is seeking a temporary position for 4 months as a youth services librarian and seeking a reserve fund transfer to cover these costs.

Ms. Hierta explained that she has had to staff substitutes since beginning of April to cover the absence of this ill staff member. The library is short $2,500 to cover this staffing and is seeking funds for this and for the temporary position for 4 months. The figures needed to cover library salary budget shortfall for FY16 total $7,500 and will need to add to the FY17 budget another $8,000.00

Mr. Malkin moved to post this vacancy. Mr. Rossi seconded the motion. SO VOTED: 3 Ayes
Selectmen are in support of expenses to cover needs for the staffing during this medical leave.
Mr. Carroll said he has asked the accountant to make note of these funds for our yearend expenses.

Ms. Hierta said she has an additional request to use prior year vacation. This request is because her scheduled 2 weeks off in June will not be utilized due to assisting the temporary staff acclimation. Chairman Doty requested that this request be written out formally from Ms. Hierta and be on the Selectmen agenda of May 17, 2016.   
 
The Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival (TMVFF) Summer Projects:
TMVFF representative Hillary Dryer was present to discuss and ask approval of their coming season plans at the Chilmark Community Center and Chilmark School.

Chairman Doty referred to a document supplied by the Chilmark Principal supplied with very specific use of building guide for this film camp. This kid’s film camp will be for three weeks this summer down from the original proposal of four weeks.
Mr. Carroll requested that the town receive a certificate of liability listing the school building for the duration of the film camp.

Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival request continued
The date the Chilmark Community Center Advisory Committee planned repairs to start is August 22, 2016. Mr. Rossi who is the Selectmen liaison on the Chilmark Community Center Adversary Committee said that the committee was notified of this request from the Film Festival and have re-scheduled to start renovations the 25th of August to allow for the film.

Road Easement Request:
Betty Martin (unable to attend tonight) and Walter Wlodyka have requested an easement to a property they are purchasing located at Map 13 Lot 73. Mr. Wlodyka is present. The site was flagged by engineer for Selectmen to view. Selectmen have gone to this site to view the layout of plan. Mr. Rossi approved the layout of this plan. Mr. Rossi stated that the Middle Line Road Association needs to accept them into the Association. Mr. Carroll said that May 10, 2016 is the Road Association Meeting that the town has invited everyone to. Mr. Wlodyka said that purchase closing for this property is May 13, 2016.

Menemsha Wi Fi / American Tower RFQ:
Mr. Carroll said that questions to this proposal, from American tower, are:
  • Will there will be wiring in the far right-hand side of the parking lot  
  • Will there be antenna masts
Mr. Carroll said he has not received an answer to these questions to ACT yet.
Menemsha Wi Fi / American Tower Continued
Mr. Malkin asked why we want Wi Fi on the beach. Chairman Doty said he assumed it was mostly for the boats. Mr. Carroll said we want to supply Wi Fi for the harbor customers because we don’t have telephone and cable connections anymore. Those were services we used to provide. Transient boats are looking for a more affordable connection rather than their cellular data. Mr. Carroll said in the future we may move to a point of sale on a mobile tablet for the harbor transient slips and our Wi-Fi as it is now doesn’t extend to all of the sites.

Mr. Carroll said this system would work as our backup off island connection for internet connection. Mr. Carroll sited the recent Com Cast outage that caused a loss of a day’s work. If this happens during the summer we would be unable to sell beach stickers or harbor credit card payments.   

Mr. Carroll said in response to Mr. Malkin’s question about Wi Fi on the beach we did not ask for it but that ATC decided to put it in the plan as it would be beneficial to their “pilot program” to gather data to possibly go island wide in the future. Mr. Malkin asked if they would be willing to do this plan without the beach node. Mr. Carroll said he asked this already and the response was the testers thought it was an important part of the pilot program. Mr. Carroll said he can add this to the questions that are pending (Bullet points). Mr. Carroll asked if there is no antenna masts, no wiring in the far right-hand side of the parking lot and no node at the beach location would the selectmen entertain approval pending those 3 conditions for this pilot program.

Mr. Rossi moved to approve this proposal with the conditions listed met. Mr. Malkin seconded the motion. SO VOTED: 3 Ayes

Squibnocket Beach Project Update:
Chairman Doty reported that the Martha’s Vineyard Commission (MVC) unanimously voted to approve our project moving forward at the meeting held April 28, 2016.
