PROVINCETOWN BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE

Meeting Minutes 8/29/01

The meeting was called to order at 11.10a.m.  James presented the agenda.

Present:  LouAnn, James, Robin, Gerry

Old Business:

· Minutes were accepted as read from the 6/27/01 BC Meeting.

· At their request, James sent a letter/report to the Visitors' Service Board

(VSB) telling them that the $5,000 grant for investigating the re-landscaping

of the Town Green and the $2,100 grant for benches was spent as requested.

He has not received any response from the VSB.

· James announced that the 3 new Cora W7510 bike racks were ordered and

received. Regarding the placement of these racks, it was decided to table the

discussion while the BC continued to look for possible locations. We will

save 1 rack for placement at the re-landscaped Town Green and some other

possible locations are: the circle by the breakwater, in back of Town Hall,

in front of the Emporium.

· James gave a Town-Green Update stating that:

· The Board of Selectmen approved the BC's re-landscaping plans.

· They approved a budget of approximately $20,500 to complete the project all

at once rather than do it in phases.

· Sandy of the DPW asked James to present the plan to the VSB, which he did

and who wanted a public meeting which the Town Manager said was not necessary

and left it up to the BC to decide.

· The Pilgrim Monument Association (PMA) would like to speak with the BC

about the Town Green project.

· After discussion, it was moved and seconded to take the following actions:

· Robin will ask the BANNER to run an announcement with our project plan,

stating that at the next BC meeting (9/12/01 at 11:00a.m.) we would be

finalizing the Town Green re-landscaping plan, for all those who wish to

attend.

· James would invite a representative from the PMA, the Town Manager and the

DPW Head (Keith and David) to attend the 9/12 meeting.

New Business:

· After discussion, it was voted unanimously to remove Jennifer Crooks as a

Comm. Member as she had only attended 1 meeting and to replace her with Mary

Ann Powers, should she still be willing and whose March application we just

received.

· It was voted 3 to 1 to approve a VSB request for up to $175 to pay for

bench plaques.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:20p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Gerry Brennan

Secretary
