After discussion, the topic of dune shacks was put on the agenda for the next meeting. John Thomas advised that Carla Tasha would like to speak to the Committee on this issue; he will contact her.

The issue of extended parking fees for the beach parking lots into October was raised. After discussion it was decided that John Thomas would draft a letter, for the Committee’s approval at the next meeting, to the Selectmen expressing concern over extension of fees and this extension’s impact on local residents. Various Committee members believe that, since this matter affects “cultural resources”, the Seashore might be required by its own procedures to conduct an appropriate study on adverse impacts before it can take this action.

The date for the next meeting was set for Thursday, October 25^th at 5:00 pm at the Judge Welsh Room, at Provincetown Town Hall.

With no further business, Don Richards moved and KC Smith seconded that the meeting be adjourned. Motion was carried unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 5:50 pm.
