Budget:
There was a question why two line items are over budget when no vote(s) were taken at the meetings. The cost for the data entry has not been identified as yet and the interim budget report will be issued in mid-March. The Board needs to authorize each line item if EPG goes over a line item. Curt Felix stated he believed these were fixed line items. Concerns were raised regarding the camera at the Harbormaster, as well as calibrating and maintaining the wire. The committee has expressed concern with EPG and the service/product they are providing and the committee will draft a memo to them regarding the budget and service. Agent Greenberg-Lemos will review the contract and Alex Hay will put together a memo for them.
Curt Felix moved to adjourn at 4:45 pm; seconded by Ned Hitchcock; passed 4-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Christine Bates
