J. Frates opened the meeting.
A Motion to accept the Minutes of the previous meeting was made by M. Troubetaris,
and seconded by R. Badessa. All approved.
There was a Facilities Meeting held and they discussed the rates at both Marinas. It was
suggested that there be a 5% increase and round to the next dollar. R. Badessa made a
Motion to increase 5% across the board and increase to the next dollar. G. Ward
seconded, and all 6 approved.
S. M. Seamans has done a heroic job for fendering for the pier. She has been in touch
with J. Provencal about better fendering. The reason to put speed on this is because
Algonquin is using it. They promised the City they would leave the fendering. They will
be leaving this summer. We have permission to have rendering system in front of the
pier. She has been in touch with G. Whitney and many others. We CAN fender the pier.
Algonquin may be here for the summer.
M. Troubetaris made a motion to amend the rate increase to include the Dinghy Rack and
In-water rates, excluding transient fees. R. Badessa seconded. All in favor.
The RFP is due to be opened on the 20th - had a site visit - two people are interested.
One from the South Shore and one from Salem.
Several appraisers have looked at the mural on the wall of the McDonald's building.
There is no firm figure on the worth. The consensus is to save it. It needs to be removed.
W. Finch has some people who will look into removing it.
A. Wheelock made a motion to keep the mural from the former McDonald's to be used
for the public. R. Badessa seconded. All in favor.
There was a meeting on Public Access at Port Marina. There is quite a ways to go, but at
least there is discussion.
S.M. Seamans asked L. Bochynski about float replacement. He stated he is working with
Mr. Bradley now for an RFP. They will try to have in sections.
G. Ward asked if a letter has been sent to the Mayor supporting R. Costa on the 25' strip
of land off of Congress Street.
G. Ward made a motion to adjourn. Seconded by R. Badessa. All approved.
Respectfully submitted,
Eileen Twiss
