J. Frates stated that there was a meeting set up with Rick Armstrong of the Seaport
Council, but it was cancelled at the last minute. They are trying to re-schedule. Also,
we are having difficulty with funds. We will try to discuss the finances with a
committee.
S.M. Seamans talked to A. Daignault regarding the Shoe Pond. She also called Dr.
Lupini. She has not heard back yet. She also called M. Collins, and he said there is no
money. She called Mr. McSweeney to ask.
Costa had a meeting with the Mayor to ask for the $200,000 mitigation money.
L. Bochynski stated that the floats at Glover are 28 or 29 years old. The Commercial are
in the worst condition. He also states that a Facilities Committee meeting is badly
needed.
T. Rodzen spoke of the Canoe/Kayak Program that he would like to start at the Center.
The proposal that he brought before the board is based on how Boston does it.
C. Raymond suggested that he talk to the Harbormaster of the City Planner.
J. Frates stated that the board would take this under advisement.
L. Bochynski spoke of an article in the newspaper that there will be a pier at Lynch Park.
There should be a lot of questions, such as is it outside the jurisdiction of Chapter 91.
Does the BHMA need to get involved? R. Costa says that they will duplicate what was
there 100 years ago. R. Costa suggested that we send an alert to the Recreation
Department of the committee advising.
Meeting adjourned.
