PUBLIC MEETING

PRIOR MINUTES:

Revised the draft of the minutes to better reflect the discussion points. Joyce Guide moved to approve the minutes. Seconded by Ellen Rousseau. Minutes approved by 4-0 vote. (Ellen Rousseau abstaining.)

FS&T BILL

David Guertin reported that FS&T sent a $160,000 bill for costs incurred due to the pile driving problems and redesign. David recommended that staff, Mr. Zoino, and a Building Committee member negotiate with FS&T to reduce this bill. Mr. Zoino would be paid from funds already approved for his work on the pile issue. Ginny Binder agreed to represent the Building Committee during these negotiations.

MOTION: Joyce Guide moved “that Building Committee assist DPW Director with concluding the redesign extra costs incurred by FS &T and forwarded to the Town for payment and further, utilize the services of Mr. Wm. Zoino as an agent to the Town, all in the interest of a fair and reasonable settlement with FS & T.” Second by Ellen Rousseau. Motion was voted and unanimously approved (5-0).

HARBORMASTER OFFICE RELOCATION

David Guertin reported that ProFish supported locating the office in the corner between the Tee and Main Pier. This maximizes the deck space available to support future fishing fleet’s needs.

AGM has quoted a rough estimate of $50,000 to build a platform on piles at this corner and move the office there.

Discussion that the Harbormaster Office platform space should be expanded to accommodate future public rest rooms(after septic installation). Assumption is that cost for rest rooms themselves would eventually be funded by Tourism Funds..

Before approving this change order, the Committee requested 1) a letter from ProFish documenting their recommendation for the Harbormaster’s office and 2) a design and firmer estimate from FS&T & AGM for the building and relocation of the Harbormaster’s Office and alternatively extra piles/platform for future restrooms.

MOTION: Rex McKinsey moved to request “that Staff direct FS & T to produce the design details necessary to obtain a fixed price from AGM on the relocation of the Harbormaster’s office to the proposed location as discussed”. Ginny Binder seconded the motion. Motion was voted and unanimously approved (5-0).

LIGHTPOLE SURFACE DESIGN

David Atkinson, Selectman, raised concern that the surface of the new pier light poles would require monthly maintenance. It was noted that the Pier Corporation will be responsible for overall pier maintenance. Ginny Binder and David Guertin recalled that the specifications and selection of lighting features were thoughtfully developed at early Building Committee meetings. Ginny and Sue Whittaker will verify that the current light pole specifications were those selected by early Building Committee

RE-SURVEY FLOATOWNERS BOUNDARIES

Chad DeLima shared and gained approval of the new boundaries that match lease terms with Captain Burns, Floatowners President, and AGM.

PIER CLOCK & ARTIST PROJECT SUGGESTIONS

Before Rex McKinsey left at 2PM, he recommended that before considering additional pier features, we should first we re-visit the pier design features that were dropped to cover the pile driving cost overruns. The Committee agreed to do this exercise later this summer after the ‘risk’ of additional construction costs are minimized. Specifically, after all the piles are driven (late August), then we could consider spending some contingency funds on features that were dropped or new features.

The Committee agreed that the Pier Clock and Artist Project for the Pier are initiatives that are better addressed by the Pier Corporation.

SCHEDULE NEXT MEETING - Wednesday, February 27th at 1:00 PM.
