GUESTS: Tom Pochman informed the committee on the discussions
and progress being made between Nantucket Human Service Center
Inc (NHSCI) and the Board of Selectman (BOS). Mr. Pochman stated
that they had a template to work from and the template was
explained by Mr. Kopko as coming from Town Counsel, informing
them as to the procedure that the BOS should follow when
entering into a lease. 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.

which was then passed unanimously for NHA Preserving
Nantucket‟s Voices/Voigt $11,998.06 FY10.
