I. CONVENE IN OPEN SESSION:
A. CITIZEN BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS: None.
B. GOLF BUSINESS:
1. Sconset Golf Course—Manager's Monthly Review: The Commission reviewed
the balance sheet and profit and loss comparisons for May 31, 2020, as well as the check register
and profit and loss statement by department. Mr. Costa reported that the course was very busy.
2. Miacomet Golf Course—Manager's Monthly Review: The Commission reviewed
the balance sheet and profit and loss comparisons for May 31, 2020, as well as the check register
and profit and loss statement by department. Mr. Costa stated overall the course was doing well
even with the reduced tee-times and the closure of the restaurant due to COVID-19. The loss of
income was offset by lower expenses. Mr. Costa announced that the restaurant would start serving
meals indoor on Thursday and further,that he expected the Governor to ease the restrictions on tee-
time to 9 minutes between starts. Commissioner Jelleme asked about the status of the Paycheck
Protection Program loan and Mr. Costa stated that the money was being held in a separate account,
and that it would be used for payroll. Mr. Costa addressed the proposal he had emailed to the
Commission to change to fixed rents for the clubhouse and employee housing facility in perpetuity
rather than basing the payments on a 30-year no interest note for the clubhouse and rents received
for the employee housing facility respectively, as previously voted. He explained that it would
simplify the process but felt he would be able to pay over the full amounts as budgeted for 2020.
Additionally,he stated that he had withheld the payments since March out of caution due to the
uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Mr. Savetsky stated that the Land Bank had laid out over$11

June 23, 2020
million for the clubhouse and $2 million for the housing and it would be better for the Land Bank if
the money was repaid quicker so it could be used sooner for acquisitions rather than stretching it out
over an even longer period of time. The Commission decided to leave the arrangement as is. Mr.
Oberly updated the Commission on phase two of the clubhouse project which was close to its
conclusion. Further, he reported the housing facility had a bit of landscaping work to finish,but he
had six employees housed there and it was working out very well. Mr. Savetsky said that there had
been a lot of public feedback on the bright colored signage around the facilities and he was working
with the owner's project manager to replace them with more appropriate signage. Commissioner
Reinhard said he was very impressed with the finished project and commended Mr. Costa, Mr.
Oberly, Mr. Savetsky and Ms. Bell on a job well done.
Mr. Costa and Mr. Oberly departed the meeting at 4:24 p.m.
C. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. South Shore Road—Leash Law Signage Request: Mr. Savetsky explained that he
received a call from a woman that rides her horse through the trails at Miacomet Park and more than
once she has encountered dogs off leash which spooked the horse. She asked if a sign regarding the
leash law could be placed in the parking lot. Mr. Savetsky thought it may be appropriate due to the
large number of stables in the area. He presented a draft of a sign for the Commission's review.
Commissioner Jelleme said she was concerned with the increased trend of adding signs in natural
settings as it detracted from the user experience. Further, she felt that one complaint did not warrant
a change. Commissioner Reinhard was in favor of the sign but asked that it be placed discreetly a
few feet into the trail rather than in the parking lot. Commissioner Donato concurred but stipulated
it should only be a single sign. A motion was made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded
by Commissioner Reinhard to approve the single sign placed upon the trail. A roll call vote was
taken on the motion: Mark Donato-Aye; Kristina Jelleme-Nay;Neil Paterson-Aye; Allen Reinhard-
Aye; John Stackpole-Aye.
2. Cross Island Hike 2020—Planning Update: Ms. Campese reported the route for
the 2020 Cross Island Hike was being finetuned with the understanding that the hike may have to be
changed to different format due to the restrictions in place for COVID-19. Ms. Campese said she
would report back as plans progress.
3. Trailhead Signs -Update: Ms. Freeman reported that the trailhead signs had been
approved by the Historic District Commission and installation was planned for the fall.
4. West End Map—Update: Ms. Freeman presented a draft of the trifold trail map
with information on the back about the trails, geologic history,the Land Bank,the Nantucket
Conservation Foundation and the Linda Loring Foundation whose trails were included on the map.
Ms. Freeman explained that she was waiting on copy from the other organizations in order to
finalize the design. The map would be available at each organization with printing costs shared
between them.
