um this is basically what something I've unanticipated um we have an open space committee that needs to be formulated um we have asked the selectman for the creation of it but we haven't put a list of appointees so
these letters are for the chairman to sign requesting a 10 or a representation from the planning board the beach committee the border of selectman the recreation
um and the Ada and Watershed allian okay U that is just so we can get a form a committee so we can move forward with the updating of the open space plan with the grant that we obtained from serid um so we are a little behind but
we're working to gain that um hopefully by June do we need a motion for this uh I would just make a motion for those requests to be sent to those all right so we have a motion to uh send these letters to form an open space committee we're going to send it to the Recreation
Commission the planning board the commission on disability the Westport Watershed Alliance the board and the beach committee and obviously sell from our committee as well commission excuse me so moved second Phil and Jake all in

from uh 9:17 to 24 2425 and 61124 that we can't do because we don't have the right people here at all times so that's that's always the issue I'll take that back if you want to pass that back down here you sign
back it's only one page it's only the top page the invoices thank you thank you sir back to Mr and then we'll just wait for the uh I also have Mr chairman if I may unanticipated when you first spoke I
thought you were referring to this we originally had uh made a motion to Max funds uh to the czm and MVP Grant uh that we received which has been given to the woods hold group to pursue Beach
management plans for East Beach beach a and Atlantic AV because of the short turnaround for this um Grant application of June 30th we've been given a request an extension into July um with that extension comes an increase in funding
from the Woods Hole group um I'm not sure of our previous allocation I think it was around $122,000 that we are going to take from the wetlands fund I'm requesting that the commission make a motion tonight to um allow the usage of $220,000 of the
wetlands fund the final cost is $1,269 127 but I was going to call it 20 grand in case we may go over slightly so are we to get reimbursed for 50% of that no oh no we're getting that is our contribution ution to the grant that's
getting paying something of it so we're just offsetting that last little bit of match funding and this is again we working to establish those Beach management plans we have a kickoff meeting tomorrow night at 7:00 uh 6:00 rather here in the annex
uh to get that group started together to look at what is going to come and uh develop some agenda ideas um so if we could make a motion for that that would be great I will pass that on to the U planning board's coordinator for the
grant and uh we can get this project hopefully to fruition by June hopefully but that July motion to yeah uh use up to $20,000 of the wetlands funds to pay for this Coastal resiliency Grant toward czm and the MVP Grant yes
all right toward the do we have a motion of to that effect Mo approve second all in favor oose okay that's you name Mr Chris thank you um how much is a it's a $200,000
Grant yes yes and extending into July gets a lot a lot more interaction with the constituents on these areas in the summer time so uh the goal is to have these meetings formulated by serid and have these open sessions to bring to
light what is anticip ated or what direction the community would like to go with uh these management strategies so this is Beach man management plans for East Beach and n and Atlantic Atlantic
yeah those three areas right is there already one on file for cherion web yes we kind of have one tentatively for cherion web but not really so the only thing we have for them is the uh piping P approvals so I did Mike asked if we
had any other so he may look at getting something for Cher and web but tentatively we have kind of a mimic boil plate for beach and chairing web by autobond monitoring in those areas so this is going to be for nishman if they
or pushing sand back whatever whatever need this is going to discuss yes this management plan is to determine which direction the town wants to go with costs associated with all avenues that they may consider that way we have
realistic numbers to determine what is the best for these areas as we know East Beach has been a critical area which received pretty significant damage but so did Atlantic and Beach AB as well so um those aren't necessarily as inhabited
as the East Beach area so that's where we think the interaction with everybody is is important for this whole process haven't been through there this year East Beach there hasn't been too much speechwise this oh we got a blow coming this week though so Wind and Rain yeah
we got a south wind coming with 40 to 50 mph wind is that Wednesday night or THS south or Southeast they didn't say they just said South so I'm not sure what direction but there might be some residual is that Wednesday and Thursday yeah either that or it's coming this weekend I know there was
another and um but no it's been pretty good down at the beach they did have small little slight over washes but nothing to the magnitude we saw last anywhere near last year so maybe we can turn the windmills the other direction and blow the wind back they could blow everything
back they were powerful enough and they break and do you see the one you see the one got St by lightting I heard of it in Australia right no okay said some out in Australia oh a big proposed uh windmill orega shot down
in Australia but I did hear about a lightning strike but when did we have lightning last last week they said February 28th 27th there was a lightning strike on the broken one out there yeah that must have been during that that storm event that snow storm like the nck cut and such yeah it might have been oh
yeah cuz it's 15 Mi offshore remember cuz we missed it and it kind of went out to Nantucket I I guess he said get struck at least with the broken one yeah I don't know how they strategically designate that one as such what happened when the land Struck
it nothing happened well I guess they said there was no debris in the water yeah well they said they've already disassembled the broken turbine so there is it's a two two blade turbine now mhm you want be the highest point for
miles and miles and miles around especially in the middle of the ocean yeah exactly guess normally they would not hit anything well it would hit the water I wouldn't guess maybe L is running he's he's actually walking in it's pretty if see it hit the water it's pretty impressive dances across the water it's kind
of mesmerizing you should go look outside see if you see some guy on a bike with a headlamp on song and dance you increase viewership I can do a comedic routine you could Shane gasazi something like that get us a
rundown of our budget of not our budget of the town's budget I don't know much about town budget I be H I haven't looked at it lately but it always seems that we have a lot of um funds up to over that on accounted for which I don't know how
that works usually when my budgets you know you like be running the money up close to it we don't have all this free cash but hey what do you know oh you got untapped well they're certainly not spending it on asphalt down there CVS and the ma school no that's
coming steel plates ising it looks like the road to fuia down there I mean it's it you know both with those I did not see you down there Phil it was closed going on to CVS right that they're doing the water pipes on there oh yeah yeah I mean sometimes you hit some of those
patches in there like they go down like a foot foot and a half yeah it looks like they're mostly tearing up the center line right are they reducing it to one lane isn't that the plan another on rout six and they're doing the center line okay yeah and then they're going to start doing the branch the branches once they
finish the center line I don't know how far down they're going going all the way to just pass to Washington that's that end there and then they're going to have a blow off or a Hy there so that they can
blow off when they have to to get the water before they I don't know if they go I think they're boring under the under bread and cheese I think that's Directional Boring I think that's what they decided as the state had comments on the curb C should go take a video for the
wind committee hyd directional drilling right under under the under the stream it be right there speaking of how a safe is it of uh horizontal boring they were doing that in near my house right on driff road like right to Lions Brook so that's a doing directional board they were
doing uh core samples yeah oh the truck was a directional board that's a grant from Buzzard's Bay that yes that is a application for three Culvert Replacements with streem Crossing standards at Lions
Snell and C uh Angeline on Cornell Road I mean right now it's what is it 12 or 16 inch pipe right there is probably an 18 inch c yeah so they they'd have to replace the open box if they're going to go to the stream correct so these what you're seeing is the borings to
determine soil conditions for what they would anticipate in they hit ledge there not that much flow there though only when it when it rains rain you'd be surprised that that's a pretty good viable when when it rains it no but the stream has trout in it
it's kind of really yeah very small but they had I haven't had that one checked I remember when I told you guys last we checked the Snell was the only one that had and it backs up like quite a bit from on the back side yeah from yeah yeah I've SE to the top of that wall on
the west side yeah is definitely metering it maybe helping because if we did put a box C there my goodness through that poor guy on the other side may find he's getting scoured out but that's the same thing with Kirby Burke when they want to do
that one too it's could be a rapid SP and it is sometimes Kirby's the one they want to play they want to take they want to stop that whole let like they say you to do that one oh yeah that thing's going to be a mess if they do it at $25 million of cost more than that
yeah remember apparently the contract wasn't to mass Highway standards right is that what they bid it at and now it's gone up tremendously exactly cuz now if you throw those factors in you're going to have a much larger footprint sounds like the big
B that's offsh wind up 88 I don't know why power engineering designed it like they had I thought everything was to Highway specs but it was a grant or a grant to do the study in the engineering now they have to go back to the select board to see if they continue to want to
move forward and have the funds available to move forward on that project yeah cuz that's going to shut that road down they said for a long time yeah I'll have to get a four-wheel so I can get back and forth what you just get a little rope swing across
the brook and then walk I'm not going to walk what draw bridge okay slowly jog toam mothers you can have those guys who cleaned out those the Lots across's way they'll go clear it up Wood Way cut everything down well you can cut
a path over to his Lane Way flut your ass and walk down his Lane still lot of walking I need to four you're not breaking your record tonight no no I don't know's fault where's he coming from he's got to pay us overtime he home enjoying the tall one I'm sure
and you got caught with a slip is on he lives literally he lives 3 minutes down the road he lives on drift Road and R flying to the shop to get his screen cards and that is my guess I said I was going
to be home by 7:30 and this isn't working yeah this is not working for me either put your life 360 on the tracker will you stop put an ear tag in his truck so you know where he is well the applicant is in the audience and they can bring it up with the
discussion in the parking lot they're not paying him because he was late showing up but they have to pay all our overtime though I don't know it's a lot of overtime sitting at this table seeing that these plans have been sitting on my desk for quite some time
so should I do a campaign speech I would do I would not do that right now unless you four scor and seven years AG go unless you want to identify you resigning or something along those
lines no one no one gets to resign this is like being in the mafia you don't get to leave this Commission because we can't replace you we're going we're going to bring Phil in and he's going to be coming to a g to you someday just raised my hand like weekend
B needs a string overhead P the string yeah Phil's eyes are closed don't worry about his arms going up he's finei you need a little statement that says PA for app no you you could say you haven't um took a recess so I keep the
mics up oh that's fineing for people home the viewership we're going above I'll be on our appointed free positions while staying here waiting for the representative so we can help the applicants of the
town get their get their application guy pass away who viewership now these are good things he replacing cesspools with tight tanks it's a good thing yes that's why we're staying Phil out that's why we're
staying because we want to get to get all those I didn't even know they had CES still on on U on speech it'san hand Mr chairman I'm sure that their very ability to flush is very
prolific and oh it probably drains okay the only time you see fo and in it is on a title event when it can't necessarily make it way out I would guess but these are both on the Le side so not as influenced as you would say on
the ocean side but they're still in the same water we're talking 37 in water table so I would say that gets flushed very annually we're going to open that up anyway so we can just flush the we take
care of take care of don't know won't be as I do with be mother nature that does it I don't think we ever want to see experience an impact of that magnitude no I think that would
rightly be devastating for not just that area the whole time I think a lot of people with their situated Cottages that they've transplanted the year round homes that don't necess meat F would be uhoh oh I think we hear I hear a
Lenny thats to be seen it's almost been never come on up come on we going wait we can't have you sit down 15 minutes we've been sitting here waiting for you but you rest a little bit you could at least brought us coffees or something since you're 15 minutes
