Selectmen's Meeting Minutes, 05/04/2011
Minutes of Meeting – May 4, 2011; meeting called to order at 6:00 pm.  
Present:  L Messana; KR Flynn; K Fowler; J McNinch; D Trancynger.

The Board listened to an overview of the Bodden Hamilton marketing proposal.  They compiled all of the comments from the public brainstorming session, and put together a powerpoint presentation.  The essence of the proposal was to have you transported to a Different Place, Feel Connected, Feel Fulfilled and Feel Refueled..  Some felt that the tag line “It’s About Time” was risk-free, but applies to most anything.  “Lenoxology” was “in the air”, riskier, and could prove to be more of a flash point.  Marty Mitchell of Bodden Hamilton explained that the Town wants something that will go viral, that will be picked up by travel journalists.  Scott Laugenour explained that the Committee gravitated toward the two, but in the end, approved Lenoxology by a 4-1 vote.  

MOTION by JM, seconded by KF to go forward with the Lenoxology positioning concept.  4/1 vote with LM opposed.  

MOTION by KF, seconded by JM to approve a one-day A/A license request from Cornell Inn for 5/8 from 10am-11pm.  5/0 vote.

MOTION by JM, seconded by DT to write a letter to Halpin’s Grub and Grog regarding recent incidents at his establishment.  5/0 vote.

Meeting adjourned at 6:55pm.
