The meeting took place in the Conference Room, 16 Broad Street, Nantucket, MA 02554. Members of the Board present were Rick Atherton, Brian Chadwick, Michael Kopko, Patricia Roggeveen, and Whiting Willauer. Chairman Roggeveen called the meeting to order at 9:07 AM. Town Manager C. Elizabeth Gibson discussed a house at 30 Easton Street, which is now owned by the Nantucket Affordable Housing Trust (AHT) and which has been temporarily moved from its former location at 30 Easton Street to a Town-owned lot across the street. Ms. Gibson stated it was her understanding that the house was to move to one of the Town-owned “Ticcoma” lots on Ticcoma Way, and not to the Town-owned adjacent lot at 2 Fairgrounds Road which now seems to be the case, noting that the entire parcel, including lots which have been subdivide out, still have Natural Heritage issues which need to be resolved. Ms. Gibson reviewed a conversation she had with Housing Specialist Susan Bennett Witte about the house move. Mr. Kopko said the Board had a full discussion regarding the house and the move at a recent AHT meeting, with input from Planning Director Andrew Vorce, and said all present understood the ramifications of taking ownership of the 30 Easton Street house and where it was going to be moved. He added that he felt “comfortable” with Mr. Vorce’s advice. Ms. Gibson noted that Town Administration was not included in the AHT conversation and was “out of the loop” that the house is to be moved to a lot other than one of the “Ticcoma” lots. She added that the Board acted as the AHT Trustees, and was not convened as the Board of Selectmen, which is a different entity. Ms. Gibson stated that there are possible Natural Heritage and procurement issues regarding moving the house to the adjacent lot. Mr. Atherton said he did not remember discussing any Natural Heritage issues when he met as a member of the AHT. A discussion among Board members, Ms. Gibson and Mr. Vorce followed regarding decisions which were made about the house and move by the AHT and not the Board. Mr. Atherton suggested that Town Administration make a list of issues which need to be addressed regarding the move. Mr. Vorce noted the date scheduled to move the house is 16-17 November 2010, adding that the AHT owns the house now. It was agreed that this matter would be scheduled for the Board’s 20 October 2010 meeting. At 9:31 AM Mr. Atherton moved to adjourn to executive session for the purpose of collective bargaining negotiations/SEIU; collective bargaining grievance/Laborer’s Union; real estate disposition: easement/83-85 Eel Point Road, easement/47-49 Nobadeer Avenue, Industry Road parcel H and M/finalize purchase and sale agreement/review draft deed/schedule closing date; paper streets sales/vote of surplus property/price setting for parcels; Wilkes Square redevelopment; pending litigation updates/Conservation Commission/Planning Office/Historic District Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals/Town Counsel, not to return to open session; Mr. Willauer seconded.
