Mr. Pochman also stated that the BOS should have the funding plan by 5/19/10. He also stated that in regards to the “money people” they didn‟t wish to speak to NHSCI until they have site control. The three people present (Brannigan, Pochman, Kopko), and another guest BOS chair Patty Roggeveen, said that there is good faith movement going on between the parties to get this resolved. Mr. Pochman also presented the committee with a brief summary of the project dated May, 17 2010. The document is on file with the „Brannigan Packet‟ in the CPC office. Charles Bartlett Field Mgr. for Nantucket Parks and Recreation came to brief the committee on the progress being made on Youth Fields West. He said that the RFPs for the specifications of the project were handed over to him and Jim Manchester and in five weeks they should have a contractor to do only that portion of the project. Ms Williams, Mr. Brannigan and Mr. Moore expressed their dismay as to the length of time it had taken thus far and that it would be another three years before we had usable fields. They stated that the project is already four years in the making and were concerned as to how much confidence they should have in the additional years that Mr. Bartlett is predicting he will need to have the fields ready. Another guest present, Matt Parker, who was called upon by Mr. Beaugrand, wanted to know what the difficulties were in the past that slowed the project and also if they have any problems now, and he was also concerned by the length of time this project was taking. Mr. Bartlett reassured the committee and the guests present that things should moved smoothly forward once the RFP process is done. After his briefing, Mr. Bartlett left the meeting at 4:10. Patty Roggeveen representing the Dreamland Theater came at the request of project manager, Mr. Kopko, to give an update on the project and discuss Mr. Kopko‟s concern over the preservation restriction. It was clarified that a preservation restriction was always required for this project and they were also advised of a lawyer, in our community, who has experience on these matters and was also told by Mr. Rector that the CPC office has copies of restrictions they could look at to get an idea on how they could or should proceed. Mrs. Roggeveen made various points on the project i.e., they have raised 22 million so far, which leaves them about 5 million shy of starting work on the project; they expect to break ground in September 2010. She also stated that they have various matching grants that they hope to raise over the summer. OLD BUSINESS: Mr. Beaugrand asked that the two payments made after the April 20, 2010 meeting, which was cancelled for lack of quorum, (Nantucket Rental Assistance Program/Beaugrand $1,409.35 FY10. Habitat for Humanity Nantucket 46 Okorwaw/Beaugrand $26,199.66 FY10) be ratified. The motion to ratify was made by Mr. Rector and seconded by Mr. Brannigan, positive vote followed. NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Beaugrand discussed the project managers list of assignments. After a brief discussion a decision was made that the committee members would e-mail a list of all the projects they have, a list of those they wish to give up and these will be added to this year‟s list and a list of those they are interested in getting. This will be brought to the next meeting for assignment. OTHER BUSINESS: Mr. Voigt signed his request for payment which was then passed unanimously for NHA Preserving Nantucket‟s Voices/Voigt $11,998.06 FY10.
