Old Business:

The goals and objectives for the Harbor Committee were handed out and approved by the Committee.

New Business:

Jerry Irmer received an e-mail from Rex McKinsey detailing what went on at the BoS meeting. The BoS approved the Harbor Committee’s recommendation to expend up to $1,000 from the Harbor Access Gift Fund for temporary repairs to the West End Boat Ramp; repairs will eventually be done by the DPW.

The BoS also discussed having a meeting with the Harbor Committee in August to discuss longer term strategies. Conjecture has it that a longer term solution for the ramp might be gone over at that time.

Any other business that shall properly come before the Committee

A storm-water management meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 3^rd from 1:00-3:00 p.m. in the Town Hall. Anyone interested in this subject is invited to attend.

No Discharge Areas

Based on a recent article in the Cape Cod Times, both the state and the feds are joining forces to control discharge areas. The state has a 3-mile limit and the feds have a 12-mile limit. Meetings on this subject are ongoing.

Adjournment happened at 4:50 p.m.

Next HC meeting: Wednesday, June 11 in Town Hall at 4:30 pm

Respectfully submitted,

Evelyn Rogers Gaudiano
