Meeting called to order @
None
George Hitchcock: Had a meeting w/SCORE (Ed McDonald). They suggested more smaller activities on pier vs. larger. He would like to come before the board. Would like to invite him to our next meeting.
Len Clingham: Agrees w/George Hitchcock and that a letter of thanks should be sent along with an invitation.
Lee Ash: Would like the personnel sub-committee to meet and wrap up Rex McKinsey’s evaluation. Family week went well. At what point can we be a venue for such events and not tie up the staff at the same time. Presented pictures of the Blessing to the board.
Kerry Adams: Glad to see the skateboard sign go up the day that it did. It would appear that the skateboarders got the message. Parking by tenants has improved slightly.
Len Clingham: Amazed at the antagonism and distrust of the other town officials and board members of the PPPC. They are not aware of what it is we do or have accomplished. 1W booth looks great.
