III. RECONVENE IN OPEN SESSION
Nantucket Golf Management President, Alan Costa; Miacomet Golf Course Superintendent, Sean
Oberly; Inquirer and Mirror Reporter, Matt Turer entered the meeting at 4:55 p. m.
B. GOLF BUSINESS:
1. Sconset Golf Course ( "SGC ") — Manager's Monthly Review: The Commission
reviewed the February 2016 balance sheet and profit and loss comparisons.
2. SGC — Standing Water Update: Mr. Oberly explained that the standing water at
the sixth hole was present again. His crew addressed the problem by cleaning out the culvert and the
water was expected to dissipate soon. Further, Mr. Oberly did not anticipate that additional
remediation would be required.
3. SGC — Irrigating Fairways Discussion: Chairman Reinhard reported he has several
requests that irrigation be added to the fairways. Mr. Oberly was not in favor of the idea, as it would
entail adding another pump station with new electrical service. Further, it would require
substantially more watering, mowing, labor and equipment. Mr. Oberly explained that the
introduction of water to the fairways would invite disease and a host of other issues. The plan was
Land Bank Commission Page 2
March 22, 2016
to add surfactants in the spring that would green up the fairway and keep it green longer.
4. SGC — Sconset Trust Event Request: Mr. Costa reported that due to time
constraints the ' Sconset Trust was withdrawing the request for an event this August. They hope to
bring back the request for 2017.
5. SGC — Seasonal Malt License Discussion: Mr. Costa recommended applying for a
seasonal malt license for SGC, explaining how they would keep it simple with cans of beer and
plastic single serve wine bottles with a disposable plastic glass attached. He said last call would be
at 5:30 p.m. and he expected the bar would generate roughly $250 profit per day, which would more
than cover the expense of an additional employee. Chairman Reinhard stated he was concerned the
bar would become a destination and Ms. Bell relayed Mr. Savetsky's concerns that SGC would
attract too many bar patrons and fill up the parking lot, preventing golfers from parking. Mr. Costa
explained that he felt it was worth trying and was a nice amenity to golf, but could be discontinued
if it had undesirable results. After much discussion upon a motion made by Commissioner Paterson
and duly seconded by Commissioner Stackpole, it was unanimously VOTED to apply for the
seasonal malt license.
6. Miacomet Golf Course ( "MGC ") — Manager's Monthly Review: The Commission
reviewed the balance sheet and profit and loss comparison through February 29, 2016, as well as the
check register and credit card bill for February 2016 and profit and loss summary by department
prepared by Ms. Campese. Mr. Costa stated that the month and year to date numbers were very
close to last year's numbers.
7. MGC Cart Barn — Update: Mr. Oberly reported that Toscana Corporation was
scheduled for May 1 st to fix the drainage issue and create the parking area. He then presented a new
landscaping plan that differed from the original concept, stating his desire to see the site work
completely finished. Mr. Oberly felt the plan would not require much maintenance for his crew and
the only additional expense would be the some irrigation that could be done in house. Upon a
motion made by Commissioner Glidden and duly seconded by Commissioner Stackpole, it was
unanimously VOTED to move forward with the new landscaping plan subject to review of cost
estimates.
8. MGC Employee Dormitory — Project Update: Mr. Oberly stated that housing for
12 to 18 would be perfect for his crew, further he had toured the dorms at the two private clubs on
island and thought the dorms at Sankaty were similar to what he had in mind. Ms. Bell said the
project would probably require an Owner's Project Manager ( "OPM "), which was the first step in
the planning process for a construction project estimated to cost over $1.5 million. After much
discussion, upon a motion made by Commissioner Paterson and duly seconded by Commissioner
Glidden, it was unanimously VOTED to authorize Ms. Bell to move forward with hiring an OPM.
9. Cart Paths — Procurement Update: Ms. Bell reported an addendum had been issued
and bids were due back on March 31, 2016. She explained that specifications had been changed to a
single pass of 2.5 inches of asphalt 5 feet wide done all in one year with mandatory testing at the
plant and on site of the materials.

Mr. Costa and Mr. Oberly departed the meeting at 5:51 p. m.
C. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Upon a motion by made by Commissioner Glidden and
duly seconded by Commissioner Paterson, it was unanimously VOTED to accept, approve and
release the regular meeting minutes of March 8, 2016 as written.
D. REGULAR BUSINESS:
1. 2016 Annual Town Meeting Article Review: Ms. Bell outlined the following
annual town meeting articles that concerned the Land Bank:
a. Article 80 and 81 — Real Estate Conveyances between the Town of
Nantucket and the Land Bank: Ms. Bell explained this is a reaffirmation of the vote at special town
meeting regarding the school swap.
b. Article 82 — Community Housing Bank: Ms. Bell reminded the
Commissioners that this was a home rule petition to create an affordable housing bank will probably
include talk of the Land Bank on town meeting floor. The article no longer includes the Land Bank
as the collector of fees, but staff expects that will end up being the case if the bill is passed and
signed into law, in which case the Land Bank would expect to be reimbursed for time and expenses
caused by the additional work.
c. Article 84 — Land Bank Act Amendment: This article is to create the "O"
exemption for qualified purchasers of properties that had at least a 30 year deed restriction with at
least 5 years left on it for affordable housing to be exempt from the Land Bank fee.
d. Article 88 — Conveyance of Town Land in Tom Nevers to the Land Bank:
Ms. Bell explained that the Town wanted to convey this beach parcel for better management and
maintenance by the Land Bank.
2. 27 Easy Street/Arno — Execution of Demolition Contract: Upon a motion made by
Commissioner Glidden and duly seconded by Commissioner Stackpole, it was unanimously
VOTED to execute the contract with P.M. Reis Trucking, Inc. for the demolition of the building at
27 Easy Street.
3. Bachman/158 Orange Street — Site Visit Scheduling: Ms. Bell reminded the
Commission that a snow storm had cancelled the last site visit and suggested meeting at 3:30 p.m.
on April 12, 2016 at the property before the regular meeting at 4:00 p.m. Chairman Reinhard asked
Ms. Campese to post the site meeting with the Town Clerk.

his wife and moved to Chicago two years later. The house was under contract for sale for slightly
more than he paid for it, but had ultimately lost money due to damage by tenants. Ms. Campese
recommended waiving both the penalty and interest. Upon a motion made by Commissioner

1.44 Washington Street/Permitting Escrow Agreement — Modification Request: Ms.
Bell referred to the extension request received via email for an additional 90 days to complete the
