3. STEAP GRANT
Gary Sharpe attended the meeting to review the final plans for the Ferry Dock for DEP submittal and approval. Gary's question for the Commission was how much the town wants to offer for services at Ferry Dock. Dick Goduti thought a few outlets and a few spigots would be sufficient. Gary said the electric can go on the other side; he also said it might be cheaper to do an upgrade overhead. There was discussion of a second pole and adding a second light. Gary is concerned about the timing, since this plan needs to be sent to DEP so maybe focusing on the documents for submittal is appropriate for tonight's meeting.
The water line will be carried to the head of the "T". Dick asked if there was a calculation of how much fill will be needed for the driveway. That has not been calculated. Dick asked if the land was fillable. Gary did not believe DEP would issue a permit. Gary did not feel that putting dredge sediment under the driveway would provide an adequate under surface to support traffic. The sediment sampling that Gary proposed last year has been approved.
Gary Sharpe believes that the package is ready to send to DEP so they can start their review. They would be looking at the compliance end. Original stamps and signatures are required.
Motion- Dick Goduti moved to send the package to DEP for their review;
Ross Byrne seconded;
5-0-0 motion carried unanimously.
Michael Cronin spoke about the slips on the north side. Mike thought the Commission could get an additional 5 or 6 slips if the north side was dredged.
The Commission will continue to explore dredging options.
4. Invoice
Computer Sign

Byrne seconded;
5-0-0 motion carried unanimously.
5. Adjournment
Motion - Peter Fredrickson moved to adjourn at 6:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Ruth Hockert, Clerk
