3:00 on Wednesday February 12th 2025 is a of the community preservation committee U and we will start with the recitation I will read this is to formally advised that as required by General Law chapter 38 sections 18
through 25 and pursuant to chapter 20 of the acts of 2021 an act relative to extending certain Co covid-19 measures adopted during the state of emergency signed into law on June 16 2021 as extended by chapter two of the acts of 2023 the armouth community preservation
committee will hold a public meeting on Wednesday February 12th 2025 at 3M Town Hall conference room a the public is welcome to attend either in person or via the alternative Public Access provided and I will just quickly
introduce David gianopulos did they say that correctly who is the new representative from the armouth Housing Commission historical historical oh what I say housing yhc housing historical historical
no I [Laughter] don't thank you so much you all learn if I can some help do we have anybody on Zoom do
participant I don't see Lee hopefully she'll join us when she's able I don't know why we've got such a crummy camera angle too showing two of us around the table and introduce ourselves you yeah oh do you want to do the as a roll call
do Debbie Judy wichinsky David and that's historical Christine marigliano open space and Here Comes Drew we just introduced ourselves if you
just give your name and committee props from the reservation committee thank you okay the first item is the review the warrant articles everybody got a copy or anybody need a copy
have the memorandum I so this for our appearance before the select board yes I added the um recommendations made by Jo last week and the Articles have already gone
to the draft warrant that the select board reviewed last night with the exception really of the article regarding chasebrook park because it was noted that um you had yet to approve that article board received it so it was
clear to them that the board hadn't approved I watch um let's just go through each proposed section article section anybody have any
comments uh the first one of course would be the housekeeping article which I would introduce have any questions or comments the second one is affordable housing
uh uh will be doing the explanation on that ex there's one attend I don't know if it oh I see Jeff kobby hi Jeff hi
Jeff he's muted okay all right uh after affordable housing then when we go into Recreation any questions or comments on AB or C we get to
D and in addition to re repurposing the I've given everybody the original warrant article from 2018 where the article states to authorize the Conservation Commission to assume the
care custody and control and management of the property and to authorize the board of Selectmen and the Conservation Commission to enter BL um if we're amending this I think we
should amend it to correct it so it's correct as it stands it's correct as it stands the Conservation Commission does manage the parcel it also managed with 1800 other some parcels but the Conservation Commission is the committee
of volunteers and where as ownership falls on them the town acts as a team and manages all those sites the Conservation Commission is a group of seven people just like this board so they don't do the management themselves the town does
it in general but does the Conservation Commission enter into the agreements and the management of the property the I thought that we
sty so the as the town yes so DNR and DBW do the management and maintenance work for all the Conservation Commission only I don't think this is clear I think it's it's pretty clear CHR you can have conservation doing Yankee Village and
DPW doing the satellite and then merge all three into one gpw is doing all three so maintenance as a function is at the direction of the Town Administrator Town Administrator and I I gave you all a memo because I know Paul
too you had ask for kind of like the stepbystep background um administrator who's going to delegate who's doing the maintenance they're in charge it doesn't make sense for conservation to be doing maintenance when there St what's the between
management and maintenance I think that if there's a complaint the Conservation Commission would certainly be involved but the Conservation Commission isn't going to go out there and mot they don't have the funds the town isn't organized that way
but DPW takes care of our properties so the maintenance is going to be in dpw's budget yes and so I mentioned in the in the memo that I gave you all I just I walked you through because it was a little
confusing last time talking about the funds and so I walk you through how we get to the 368 755 that we want to be able to use CR the three partial not just on the I I do have a problem with the
original aing of the article I mean this this this article even had to be amended the following year to get the proper language in order to get the P Grant you know so it's been amended before you know it was it was
boilerplate and I I just don't think that it's practical to amend it I think it was boiler plate for a conservation fle not a park hle and I think that's where the error came in well I think that's why we redid it in 2019 and added
just a simple piece just to add the purpose the purpose needed to change so that it could be Recreation and the purpose of all three articles includes passive Recreation it's in the it's in the conservation restrictions it's it's fine Town Council
reviewed all of the the pertinent information and did you ask Town counsel I have asked town coun I haven't gotten a response back I think this should be deferred then until we hear from Town Council I
don't think that the word the original wording perhaps wasn't the proper wording for this park parle ask him I'm going to respectfully disagree and think that it's
um I think one way it's just to just defer D until fall Town needs until we get everything straighten well we'll be entering into contract so we I mean I think if there's an issue with the funding and and
repurposing the funding that's what I'd be curious about because we didn't talk about this before so is is there an issue with the 3687 I i' like let's go around and ask everybody's opinions can I just step
back for just even further because I missed the last meeting so in 2018 money was appropriated for the purchase of um 275 okay and
um and was it boiler plated to to put the words into authorize Conservation Commission for the okay so that's that's was done for all property um so now there's monies left over for 275 right but now you want to use that
monies the rest of the monies were used for the purchase price the the money that's already been used was purchase price and anything else the money so $975,000 was appropriated from the CPC
the purchase price was $950,000 and then we got a $400,000 Grant from the state for Acquisitions we've used some money I think it's it's not $200,000 it's
probably barely 150 for design and permitting on the yank build site now to illustrate the reason why we want to do this at all we don't have to do it we can we can um leave it right where it is and we'll manage internally with the budgeting this was to make it easier for
us because right now when we get a bill for the park three sites we have to kind of divy that what okay the three pieces so the the CPC gave
950 is that what you just said 975 975 okay and this was other monies um left over from so the the maintenance of that that
275 site has been under the DPW since it was purchased that's right and they they take all expenses for that in their budget it would be in their budget yes right okay um we can't use the CP right yeah no no no no I just I'm just yeah
I'm still uh you know head cold brain um at my age it takes longer so two request um so the the thing is this money is just left over from seven years ago yes so it was never pulled in like
we have a three-year whatever a three-year limit to use the monies nobody ever P it because this is a longer well I'm just trying to an active project active yeah so it was longer projects historically yeah take longer so it wasn't going to
be within the three years okay so if if this doesn't get transferred to um Rec to the site for the recreation project uh section it will just still sit there forever and it will be used
for 275 28 only for what for the site Improvement for the okay thank you the article was what acquisition and okay thank you uh G I'm confused but I
do agree with what you said and I think probably to wait on this until Town meet them or after to find out all the if we get a clear up by next week I mean
I I just like Town Council Council you I wanted to give you the memo um that Paul had asked for last week and provide some background on why we need to um why we wanted
to repurpose the funds so that it could be used across the three Parcels well I'm surpris C didn't get back to you yet this all came up at the last minute you know when it says here I spoken to the Town Council and he's recommended the
attached article to accomplish request transfer of the funds he's approved the form of the article and he sees no problem with reallocating the fund there were concerns previously the concerns that had been raised was that we couldn't use the money across the three
Parcels but it's it's not an isue we've talked about that okay absolutely um but the the question from Christine about the you know I think this was a late yesterday afternoon
conversation it says the Conservation Commission assumes the care but Conservation Commission can't assume like the general management yeah and that's a problem because well we can ask
Jeff what would Happ Jeff Jeff can you unmute point is that we have 1800 Acres the the question is does DPW or does the Conservation Commission enter into the agreements for the maintenance of the
park is it DPW or conservation that enters into the agreements I'm not sure about the agreements but I will say that maintenance of town parcels and Parks falls under DPW I'm trying to the conversation but I think I'm missing pieces of it okay I
appreciate it thank you yeah so so Britney brought up I think um there are several conservation areas in found they they are managed and um under the offices I guess of the Conservation Commission because they're referred to
as conservation property but um he hasn't asked me to go and mow anything at so so I think we have we have careful be careful usually when the conservation areas need something done it's natural resources that comes in and well
resour that's why it's kind of the town I think because also right because conservation will enter into an agreement for invasives management that's not necessarily DPW that's Britney because she knows about
invasives well for example if if all of a sudden let's say the town wanted to do something on conservation it would have to go before the still has to go before the commission for the applicable you know law regulations having to do with o
protection or whatever so so even though it's not about maintenance in terms of taking care of you know trees and this that and the other thing it seems that there is UMES enter into activities having to do with it as it says care custody control and
management of the property so I'm okay with me but this isn't a Conservation Area this is a park well but it's being deemed in this verbage to be it says something it's confusing but
let's see a Perpetual conservation restriction right so con so a lot of properties have conservation restrictions correct me if I'm wrong but very often having to do with um um private
citizens um having land that where conservation restrictions are are um attached to that land to protect it is that correct well this this I I'm president of the armou conservation trust there's three categories of properties that have conservation
restrictions on the trust owns about 100 acres there privately owned property about 100 acres and then the town has about 150 acres so there's about 350 Acres with conservation restrictions on
that are owned differently well isn't this owned differently well this this is would be this is a channel property this is one of the Town pardon did you just mention Town yes 150 acres
about again I don't do this of course but as I read it it seems to say that the Conservation Commission has an oversight the board select me to enter into agreement and from my
point of view as long as thinks that this doesn't deviate from what you're well we don't have that we don't have that ruing yet I understand that but as long as he doesn't response to Ken think that i' like to see it in writing yes
so do it already and said that he finds the problem with it as it stands it was before your specific question was asked to him but he did review it intirely happy to get the answer from him happy to so if you get it could be in my mailbox right
now over here um so if this if we do approve this and we say transfer the money it will be used for site improvements correct at the site site
improvements at the 261 2 so open it's the example is if we get a sidewalk bill yeah okay and now we have to do the math to kind of you know and we can do the math happy to do math okay
but we'd have to break it out into funding Parcels so that we know we're only spending the old uh article 22 money on 275 so if let's say um Frid what's today Wednesday Friday Monday's a
holiday um if we have a meeting next Wednesday you have to post it by Tuesday the early Fray Friday so let's say you get an answer we can always schedule the meeting next week by Zoom not have to come in if this is the only
thing I would just suggest that like this sometimes what is done is to say well we think we have an understanding what this is and what the answer is going to be and we could approve it subject to the Town Council coming we could approve it today uh with the
understanding Council yeah comes back with subject to the Town Council concurrence yeah because then we don't have to do you could do it that way yeah I mean I to have a meeting but not really don't have a ruling on it I think it's you say that now it's a little but
I think it need just needs clarification yeah but if I I just have another question so let's say this exists and and you feel that it might cause a problem down the road could you explain what that problem would be I think it's
I I I think that to have two parks under DPW and one Park under conservation and then you're going to merge them all is not as efficient as it could be okay I if that's
ex it should all be the same DPW though it sounds like would be in charge of all three s nothing to take away from you Britney sorry regulations under the so I to review all their work anyway this is a part of what you said the town
has opted for a team approach that's what it seems like to me to me it seems clear it doesn't seem like AO because we have a park that's on the water so there are a lot of conservation restrictions involved cre in the park right are
important so um as we go through these um when come back are we going to approve each one separately or as a bulk so let's say whatever when we get to this Aral for the creation project we would even though this is highlighted we
would just approve or disapprove all for do you know what I'm saying are you talking meeting or meeting well are we presenting we're not we this isn't on the warrant yet because it's it's been included in the warrant
with the yellow on it just okay gave it all so if we wanted to take away the yellow yeah like then we would have to approve that separate from the others that we've already appr if you've approved to be yes yeah that one would
require that one would require okay all right thank you I'm done okay any other comments questions concerns uh
historical is the next page any other comments concerns numbers check out let me the last last time we agreed that I would welcome Peter to take over
completely happen read the article and then or basically say um as printed in the article printed in and then there be an explanation process pay for each one the way this is laid
out explation and I or you or we would read the article expanation we go to okay okay very good we can talk about it more wish okay excellent yeah so I would just keep saying call that
question this gentleman over here will answer that question okay sorry are they written differently this year does it just seem crisper and cleaner to me or is it me and just I'm paying more attention this year you pay
more I'm paying more attention Okay you you and it is different I think that's a nice way to put it because um because of the way we've worked with the finance department to do the budgeting so it's it's really easy to put it into a table
and there's no sentence in there that X comes from the historical reserve and Y comes from the undesignated it's just the explanation everything the presentation the explanation the diagram just seems to
credit toie for very words after you're done writing cross out half the words and then you're [Laughter] finished any other comments on historical space Reserve
article other questions comments Etc and the following article is the land bank legal balance transfer any other question or comments on that thank you all right well does
anybody want to make a motion similar to what David suggested for that article D on the chasebrook Park I move that the committee approve um the CPA Recreation Project D um for chasebrook Park to
transfer $368,500 have to go on roll call Y yes yes dudy yes I I Christine I and we would need another a uh motion
for all the other Arles I think you approved them all last we did that lastek right yep so it was just that one pardon you said on the next item I'm all set I the only thing I have for committee reorganization at this time is
again welcoming David and um I don't know have you been sworn in yet okay because I got the I got a copy of a letter from Pam I think that's gonna probably going to today to come to
the town clerk and get sworn in for CPC so welcome um so for the moment we are almost complete board but that'll change after town
meeting right right I just want to say you know you have to take a look at each other somebody you know two of you going to have to step up and be the chair and vice chair of this wonderful committee um it's been an honor to serve
with you of you I'm sorry not what you said on my interview when I I didn't this time everybody here has taken their fiduciary responsibility so seriously
you know and you've all brought in your life experiences your each your committee experiences it's always interesting to listen to each person's sometimes different points of view and everything in order to get a Consolidated you know opinion on
everything that we're doing I was very proud this year that all of the applicant applications were heard um fairly equally we brought every application up to date so that every
application was heard you know this under the same offices you know and according to the CPA legislation which you know we we've distributed to everybody so it's truly been an honor uh I guess uh our next meeting will be
before the Selectmen whenever they choose to you know call us in and if you could attend that meeting it's it's always helpful they might have some questions and it's it's always to good not just to have a a chairman presented
but to see the Selectmen don't see the committee members and that's their one opportunity to see everybody that's on the committee I think that's always helpful especially to the Selectmen you know I would like to thank you for your
knowledge of everything and persistent and thank you all from the heart too thank you so you'll have to be uh thinking about who's going to be stepping up you know it's it's very interesting close close
friendships um I have an idea about appointing the newest people on the committee to run this the Le your phone ringing it's certainly a learning you know Christine I just want to thank you also you know you're a person as I kind of
found out who really rolls up her sleeve and looks at all the details of things and you know I admire that you do that and you're very serious about it serious about protecting um the resp
[Music] thank you very much for that not not only for me but I think that there are a lot of people in this town who benefit from that kind of thing so thank you very much good very detail on yeah Gary was quite a mentor
yeah Christine from the perspective of a newcomer to the town it's only been two and a half years but I from my perspective on The Chase Brook Park you've been the longest and strongest uh champion of just sort of like willing to
PR it forward and I think that goes a lot to the efforts and diligence and intuitiveness and never give up idea well need to have all those photographs for a lot of the photographs I had
helped getting that Federal grant it did is that money in the bank it has been awarded uh yeah it has been awarded we haven't spent any of it yet because it it's allocated specic specifically for the water quality aspects of
construction and we're not have to get past contractor and getting going for that but it's coming and um I was speaking with uh the region one EPA administrator and she really likes project I mean she was at the
ceremony say it's it's our best one that's good if you were at the uh I I know Judy was there you know it was interesting it was I think five grants yes were named but they chose chasebrook
uh they chose mil Creek Park to have the ceremony so that was quite a feather AR good so thank you for all those efforts definitely and look at the Sunday kpad Times oh coming out did you hear from
Susan that I did good I know Susan personally yeah k cut times tipped off through um the last permitting hurdle which was um the Cap Cod commission's development of regional
impact uh we we s an exemption we were successful in getting the exemption you review yes but Susan read about it there and reached out to Nate so gave a little poor
yesterday the snow different in the snow really she was surprised that the the maintenance issue had Chase for she said she couldn't walk down because the snow wasn't cleared you know well no
yeah you all bring you shovels at least or something jump the snow there you go one of interest in the maintenance of the passive Parks yeah well you know actually to that end that um Jeff kby
brought up an interesting point this morning and and that was that the um the the select board specifically approved future maintenance for The Parkers River Landing I think I'm using the right words
there to keep up just wait it'll change again Landing um for for so they're no the point being that they they understand that that the key to the success of a new park is long-term
maintenance and so we expect the same to be you know for the for chb Park once it comes online it um we'll be keeping tabs on and approving budgets for maintenance if
we don't have have a bud place I'll only be 85 years oh God okay um Karen and I were uh Karen had contacted me about some way of honoring
Gary she had suggested perhaps uh one of the planks at the 6698 used be the Riverwalk Park Drive and I had mentioned that u in his
obituary um they had asked for where it is it here in Lou of flowers family kindly requests donations to the arth parids relief Association for the wild Care Cape C
and I was just wondering what anyone you know would think would be appropriate would be nice the the walkway the whatever the bricks the that's going to be another that's going to be another couple of years it's
actually um so Kathy Williams in my office is kind of beheading right that project at least for now and then it's gotten all the way over to DPW um and and they're actually working on the planks and they're um my understanding
is they are engraving them in kind of batches of 50 at a time so I think the first set the first two sets have gone up because they're ready to install okay
yeah so um but um you know the park won't be open until I don't know later this summer or I can't remember the opening date either there anybody anybody um I think it was late summer
yeah it's it's not that far out is that something that his family would I don't know I don't know and kind of cost wise so cost wise I think what was it $350 for I emailed it um it's $350 for
engr plank you are limited to 24 characters including the I that you can put on you like print or a heart something like that and um I do know that there's one
for uh Mike Stone been included and I think Mike Stone was a a former select board chairman David and um in our hearts Mike Stone or something like that yeah which is nice but it's I mean the the the thing you have going
for you is Gary had a shorten yeah sorry David you w ever gonna have a plan I I was a notary public I hat my married name because it was so old I think Gary was very big into
Cardinals nature and books yeah yeah so I mean I I just threw it out there because we had talked about you know does the committee want to get together and do something as a group or whatever I you know I really kind of stepped back I just had the idea of the
plank we were talking about planks came up with Gary but um you know it's it's all it's all up to you guys one thing we found out Friday night was we all know he was an architect I didn't know he also liked to paint yes and he had 100
boards he would just take a board and make a scene on it you perhaps this is what he did on weekends when he was camping you know it was a big Co activity for him oh he's but you know I was fortunate to get
one of his his paintings you know never knew that he was also if anybody wants to see one I took one and we put it between Don marray and myself over my door just watch out a man
of a man of many talents he was indeed indeed is there any way you know and they're all pretty much the same you know I mean not in terms of words but you have to look for your plane yeah you do is there any way for
Mike Stone as well as Gary or anybody else who's given so much to the town to make those PLS for those individuals just a little different than the ones that are purchased by the general I don't know it's a good question um I don't know the answer um can I
hopefully that's the only two right yeah well people were talking also because Mike was on Direct commit committee he was the U chairperson and um people were even talking
about naming like you said a plaque but I heard from someone in town hall even um madaki well he was very very big into Recreation and coaching and stuff like
this you know so they they were or even um the hearing room I mean that would make sense for Mike yeah y hearing room but I'm not getting into any naming discussions with
anybody at all period that we had done for um maryan and um George what did those run about 100 yes that's well yeah but it's family I mean it's a plot I mean yes it's a lovely idea but I would
for Gary I think having the boardwalk plank would be because more people are going to see it I mean it it's not like they're going to hang it in anywhere so just based pricewise so to do something
to do a the board walk for 300 to me is reasonable considering it was on this committee for 20 something years did did the um I pay for those FL for like George where that money come from out of our committee F came out of administrator yeah oh we
have the Comm if we're going to do the board out of here I just have to make sure it's appropriate I was say you know I mean I'd be happy if if the town came up a little bit of money that I would certainly contribute to yeah on the Conservation Commission um we
purchased a couple of chairs okay those were in that 300 up price range I think state right now I don't be the chair but anyway i' be happy to we already collect the money ourselves
and so I'd be happy to do that and then let people ship in whatever they think they can or if you want to or not doesn't matter I think that's a great idea PA I'd like to see i' like to see a Red Sox on it
though you can have a on one side and a Red Sox it would be nice they're they're all very programmed it's are you getting the thereo the only Cho the choices are somewhat limited it's it's a challenge
really because I spent a little bit of time trying to figure out what would be a good use of 24 characters yeah for minus G you know Gary is four Ellis is five there's space in between that's 11
yeah and uh who makes the the contractor for um the boardwalk the Riverwalk par Riv is that who made the one thank you I don't know have they advertised this and you're all welcome
to oh they that's it can't do it yeah share with your friends yeah I mean this is for anybody in town out of town wherever I just happy I said does any of your Su have a truck that can pull the
camper said so could you check to see if it can come out of the administrator monies and let us know yeah okay so I would suggest I mean I like the idea of the plant yeah for
him good idea what plant like the plank idea versus anything else if we can check to just make sure it can come out of our administrative funds that would be great thank you the red
so right yes yeah it's can you ask them if there's any more yeah it's just weird the on they picked yeah I agree not a lot of choices they didn't put a lot of thought into that no
really yeah okay so you'll let us know yeah thank you yep we'll just email you and then I guess leave it to you guys to kind of maybe D can yeah we can throw
out some y yeah um and then you said maranne left the committee she did see I'm away for a week and I miss everything um do we need to yeah she's we I've got her plaque you did yes name
and I think I'm oh I would have heard about that one honey that one didn't real quick so going to reach out to the housing authority and um find out how she's doing she right and I we thought
we might see her on Friday night we brought it we brought it with us but I didn't see her so we're gonna get that taken care of for her she was the um oh you did good maybe maybe two parts and thanksg
or something I don't know we fig it out ask to come up just it's just a poor selection considering how many planks they're gonna make well I think it was the contractor's limitations they're contractors they're not they're not the
engravers they're not the like If you hired somebody to do set of school it would be a different company than the contractors but he had a dog that he walked all do we need to vote on spending the money
we got to find out first let's find out why don't you authorize you know to approval from the accounting department $350 for something and someone here has to come up with 24 characters and the
icons count as three what no yes well because spaces count space icon space okay we'll figure it out okay a puzzle I move based upon I move that the
board um purchased a plank in memory of Gary for $350 um based upon using administrative fees from the committee how long was he on this board
just I'm curious he was um on as a Conservation Commission rep when the CPA was you know enacted in 2005 then in
20110 he became at large and chair and then a different commission um conservation rep came on so since the beginning yeah W well I second the emotion it's around with approval yes
approve approve yes Jud I hi hi right great thank you I will get on that um for staff updates we did hear back from Amanda uh who's managing the Riverwalk
um Parker River Boardwalk park park and she would be happy to organize a site visit which is a little bit Bittersweet now that you know Gary can't be there but um I can throw out some dates for
people um you know maybe a Wednesday at three o'clock would be good yeah um let's let the weather get a little you so definitely wait at least a week because we got a lot of nasty weather coming but all right I can try to
organize that if everybody is still on board Drew and um Dave they um I don't know if you've watched any of the videos um the Drone video that's on the website front page take a look at it I would show it but we're running along right
here um and it's amazing what is going on there but since we did you know contribute a lot of money um we need to get out there and actually see it live and in person but I agree the weather yeah you just don't know what March is
going to bring for weather but maybe I'll try early March War it's windy okay we'll try maybe I'll try l i mean we were on a site visit on the water and it was windy okay I think at the moment that's what
it is yeah two weeks ago last Tuesday yeah River Park oh you have any other um no uh I'd like to give an announcement
um there's going to be a meeting regarding thatu Road uh Culvert replacement the meetings on February 18th 5 o' at the gpw uh offices and this is to consider
there's three options uh being proposed one is to replace the covert two is replace the Culver and raise the road that's because of some flooding problems that happens there and three remove remove the Culvert and the
road which would block off a Scenic Road you know so um and put a cond construct a pedestrian bridge over short WF Creek uh so if you have any where come um we sent that out about
a week we can have El it um they went to the local residents but it's also gone on to the website I second local residents being the people live on road yeah in the in the adjoining streets how did you get it
through the Historical Society the trust has an abing property okay could I could I make a suggestion on that sure conservation there was some um discussion and conservation about proposed work Jeff we remember um that
was going to take place along um down down back they talk about the neighborhood and I don't live near there but I'm not I said well basically I'm not in the
neighborhood you know I mean you go down there know the area very well something like this touches the same nerve that thater Shore Road is um of interest only to the people who live along there you
know that that's not true people walk there they bike down there they my kid used to keep a boat down there down in the old um you know we call it the old Warf down there but please if you're going to send something like that out send it to everybody you know I mean I
know it's uous thing but I know nothing of this except some discussion at conservation about the Culver but don't please don't restrict it just to the neighborhood it's just not appropriate oh I so agree with Paul okay all
right I'm down there all with him too yeah okay we have put it out to social media um but I I do recognize that that doesn't always reach which if you're watching so in place of that because any mailing isn't going to get out in time um could a robo call
from the town clerk go out or from DPW go out saying hey you know at least two or three days ahead of time that this is what's going to go on and this is what the issue is I mean if people aren't interested they're going to hang up on the call but at least at least receiving
it I was notified you know what I'm saying police department they do that very of what's important what's the date on the the hearing 201 18 yeah what's important is what I don't which they don't address
here is that it's the only Road that's parallel to 6A so if you have an accident or for some reason 6A is closed off that's not that's the only parallel road yeah between Dennis and Bon on the
North side I mean there was a watermain break one day I was going to church and something was happened and I actually had to go up on that your road to to get around to get to BN yeah this well we honestly the U the idea of
ending the road C sacks on each side it's first of all it's complicated um but we've I think in the back of our minds we've never believed that that had much of a
chance but it is an option I mean so but we're just in discussion right now so it doesn't you know yeah you can't close that we have to replace over that's because it's old actually there's a sinkhole in the road um which is not a
good sign so something has to be done but but um you know ending the road is an option but I have to negotiate with a lot of people go down Kevy Lane
over the bridge around B Shore you know go over the bridge yeah yeah we we we went to Town Council it would have to be voted on the town I don't didn't didn't hear anything about barible though no barible you go
into barible when you go down Lane you're in the we of the water down to armer I would think because you go over you go past the time for barnville then you get to Kevin you go down yeah so you go through Barn get to yeah
yeah something might tell people we're taking the scenic that would be amazing okay should we go now into executive session no other Committee Member updates anybody on the Committees have
anything to share so um as you're all aware the town has put out a request for proposals right for companies interested in helping the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in
2026 and uh probably have read Yarmouth with the help of some great researchers has a town that it had at least 4 residents who were participants in the American Revolution
um commission has shephered a project to build a monument to those um 43 plus residents um that will be located 6A in Union Street and U we've got
instruction of the design funding in hand anyhow we got five proposals to the RP and each one is as interesting as the other look like very competent companies with a lot of good ide we're very excited about the
early progress on the project we have to keep it moving because it turns out that takes a long time to get a big piece of granite and carve all those names in it six anyhow it's moving forward nicely and you think we'll have good progress to report when the warant com up
recation is very very into this because we did we did that road I mean park over again and spread thater you and we started this we were getting medals and buttons and everything they were digging
up and it was very interesting the stuff they were doing and that went on my God they started that years ago I've been on committee Recreation 35 years and they started that shortly after they were looking into it then we went down and
saw them digging it up and finding all these artifacts you know so I think it's yeah they're going to have to be very careful because especially the houses on that northeast corner by dearis yes uh I think that was Bill Barnett's house U
anytime he did any gardening he was always uncover any number of ARS you know so when they do the the digging they're going to have to do it carefully carefully yeah there's more stuff underneath yeah the land where the park
is was a site for drills now where would this ornament I mean the um you know know the the ground property is like a triangle yeah and narrow part is at the North the North Point not too far from where the flag is
because there parking on the east side right there too I know people were complaining with the park and the basketball and they say kids with the basketball at 8 n o'l at night and one of the yeah the police
have really what we want you to get out and throw them out and this and that the alre went down there and he goes oh wait just a minute guys went back to the cruise put on the big lights and said continue on better than breaking someone's house well the problem was I
could believe the park was mandated of small children and when they put up the two hoop yes it was the teenagers that were playing the basketball so he took one hoop down so that the little kids could just prac practice and keep it to
don't it was it was age it was age restricted you know something these these teenage kids don't I do the diversion program through the courts and I'm telling you they're disrespectful so they play Halford yeah so they play do
what anybody else from the Committees conservation all right we'll move on to the executive session you have to come off of Zoom for that you can read the motion and you can
vote during the Open Session and then I'll I'll shut Zoom down okay okay Le except Le's there I make a motion to move into executive session pursuing to Massachusetts General Law chapter 3A
section 21 A6 to consider the purchase exchange lease or value of real property as conducting an open meeting would have a detrimental effect on the negotiating position of the town the meeting will
adjourn following executive session and not reconvene in Open Session favor I need a second second okay this will have to be a Voice vote
