Mrs. Beck presented notes of the Minutes taken on 22 and 29 March by Mrs. Ray and

Regarding the 8 March Minutes Mr. Leddy asked that it be noted that his r:~quest for-aa
higher fee for Beach Driving Permits in July and August, the prime season,\:, be more ~gpn
$100. He also meant in the discussions at that meeting that he did not wantto state bIg
own opinions but preferred to keep a united front among the members as they met wi@i
Chief Pittman and Mr. Manchester. Furthermore, he requested that the sentence referring
to BMAC's inability to correct the constraints of several departments be deleted.
All members present agreed to these corrections in the Minutes of 8 March 2007.
For the Minutes of22 March 2007 members requested that paragraph 4 be reworded as
follows: "Mrs. Ray's and Mr. Leddy's lists (see attached) included education about beach
maintenance in the schools and the encouragement of the Nantucket High School Surf
Club in their offer to pick up trash on the beaches. Mr. Dickson offered to telephone the
Club's adviser, Mr. Psaradelis, and invite him to a meeting to discuss some future pick-
up projects."
In paragraph 3 for the Minutes of22 March 2007 members requested the following re-
wording: "The Committee requested that the Town Administrator and the BOS allow
porta-potties on skids for a test at some beaches, like Cisco, but not at Nobadeer. In New
Jersey some beaches use a relief cabana for eliminating human waste. Members also
asked questions about the schedule ofDPW trash pick-ups at the beaches. Trash has
become a very big problem all over the island."
For the Minutes of29 March 2007 the Beach Manager requested that in paragraph 5 the
last sentence read: "He will encourage clean team volunteers to help clear up the trash
problems on the beaches."
The members voted that these revisions to the Minutes of the above dates be made and
that all the Minutes of March meetings be reviewed at the meeting on 12 April 2007 for
approval.
Mrs. Beck will ask the Town Administrator if she may attend those Town department
meetings intended for coordinating interaction among departments for beach
management.
The meeting of 12 April will also address the combined list of priorities for the
immediate season coming up and for long-range goals. Once the members are satisfied
with these short-and long-range goals, they will submit a letter to the Town Administrator
outlining them and requesting her comments on them.
Respectfully submitted with notes from Tom Dickson,
Maureen Beck, Chair
