OLD BUSINESS
Dock Standards
Brad presented a schedule showing ideas for Dock Standards to be adopted by the Commission.
To do:
Norman is to show the proposed standards to Mr. Torrence Downs of CREPA for comments. Brad is to provide members with a copy of the proposed standards. Members are to comment on the standards proposed and all, including Mr. Downs’ input, are to be reviewed by the Commission at the next meeting where a final version will be approved. The final version will then have to be presented to the town for adoption as a portion of the Old Lyme Harbor Management Commission Ordinance.
Patrol Boat
Steve Ross has been restricted in his ability to conduct further member qualification on running the boat as the tides did not correspond with the time when members were available to become qualified.
To do:
Steve Ross is to conduct qualification of interested members if possible prior to next season.
Dinghy Dock
Mike Mackey could not attend, so there was no report about the dock.
To do:
Brad is to contact the Town’s Public Works Department and ask them to haul away debris and cut back bushes.
Harbor Improvements
Steve Ross presented proposals from a couple of engineering firms for the cost of their work to file applications for site improvements at the Town Landing site. After discussion, it was decided to not proceed with either of these proposals.
After further discussion, Steve Ross proposed a motion, which was seconded, that it be
RESOLVED, that work on the Town Landing be preformed, to keep it in a condition consistent with its present and historical usage as a site for hand launching of watercraft, and to maintain and improve safety.
The motion was carried.
To do:
Steve Ross is to meet with the First Selectman and the Public Works Department to arrange for the needed work.
Dave Zita and Mike Moran are to identify other town owned properties and develop simple proposals to resurrect their historical use.
REPORT FOR THE TOWN’S ANNUAL REPORT
Dave Zita reported that he’d done some work on the report yet had not finished it. He asked for ideas and comments that he could include to make it encompassing of all of the Commissions’ efforts and accomplishments.
To do:
Dave is to pen up a report.
NEW BUSINESS
There was no New Business introduced
ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
The annual meeting and dinner of the Connecticut Harbor Management Association is scheduled for Thursday
The resignation of Commissioner Lori Sulmasy and Judi Glover opens positions on the commission. All members are asked to think about possible replacements and let Norman know about them.
Members are reminded that the election of Commission officers is pending.
Brad said he found that the newest copies of the Harbor Management Plan were missing page nine. Anyone with one of the newest books should contact Brad for a copy of page nine for insertion.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Brad Ficken, as Clerk
