EXECUTIVE SESSION. Minutes of the Meeting of 14 August 2007 at 3:00 PM. The meeting took
place in the Land Bank Conference Room, 22 Broad Street, Nantucket, MA 02554. Members of the
Board present were Brian Chadwick, Allen Reinhard, Patricia Roggeveen, Michael Kopko and
Whiting Willauer. Also present was Town Administrator Libby Gibson. Chairman Willauer called the
meeting to order at 3:00 PM.
Non-Union Contract Negotiations
Discussion ensued regarding the renewal of the cable television license agreement. It was agreed
that the Board would meet with the Cable Television Advisory Committee for an update, possibly
sometime in September. The Board also reviewed the Public Education and Government (PEG)
channel proposal.
Mr. Chadwick reviewed the status of a One Big Beach easement proposal for certain properties
referred to as “Surfside West.” Mr. Chadwick proposed a 40 foot right-of-way taking of Woodbine
Street and a 10 foot taking of Pequot Street, but the property owners objected to a forty foot taking.
Mr. Chadwick asked for direction from the Board. Some discussion followed with regard to current
beach access in the area and Mr. Reinhard spoke in favor of the proposal. Mr. Kopko moved that
the Board adhere to the already established Memorandum of Understanding which involves selling
back portions of Woodbine and Pequot to abutters, pending takings being approved by Town
Meeting and One Big Beach easements being executed for taking 40 feet on Woodbine and 10
feet on Pequot; seconded by Ms. Roggeveen. So voted unanimously by a roll call vote. Mr.
Chadwick was authorized to negotiate this proposal further with One Big Beach facilitator Doug
Unruh and the associated property owners.
Real Estate
A discussion followed about the pending September 18, 2007 special town election and Mr.
Chadwick asked if the Board still intends to sell certain property in Surfside to the Land Bank, if the
ballot question to purchase 10-12 Washington Street fails to pass. Mr. Kopko moved to proceed
with the sale to the Land Bank if the ballot question does not pass; seconded by Ms. Roggeveen.
So voted. Mr. Reinhard abstained from the vote.
Chairman Willauer updated the Board as to the status of a meeting he and Mr. Kopko had last
week with members of the Siasconset Beach Preservation Fund (SBPF) with regard to proceeding
with a “term sheet.” Some discussion followed with regard to SBPF’s concerns with the term sheet.
Mr. Kopko stated that SBPF wants to meet with the full Board to discuss the concerns individual
property owners have with the proposed document. There was general agreement to schedule a
meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 PM.
Approved the 2nd day of October 2008.
Released the 17th day of February, 2010.
