Activities:

Review and approve
previous meetings minutes.

Discussion of
Comprehensive Harbor Management Plan: a plan to address the issues of CCC
and promote the safe use of harbors, surface waters and the underwater lands
of Harpswell.
-
Our mooring survey: there
are no issues with us doing it, just get it to Terri Sawyer as soon as
possible.
-
Sam was unable to attend
so we could do no work on the Ordinance.
-
Discussion around using a
consultant for development of our HMP was delayed.
-
Harbormaster surveys:
-
Len and Pete were able to
accomplish this. Len talked to Yarmouth Harbormaster and Pete talked to
Phippsburg Harbormaster.
-
We were asked to review
the NYS and Falmouth Harbor Management Plans. Burr questioned how we get
started on this process and Steve asked how much time the committee members
have to put into something on this magnitude and it was agreed that we
should consider a consultant. We decided we would come up with an outline
for the consultant to use as a guide and we would write it one section at a
time. We then spent some time on the Inventory section and determined it was
a ton of work. We would try to use contacts and town resources to facilitate
collecting this data. Burr will try to list things concerning the inventory
in a workable fashion for next meeting.
-
Burr talked to Dave
Chipman about the TV possibilities. We would write a text and then get
pictures to support the script. He asked us all to come to the next meeting
with a list of our thoughts that should be included in the text.
-
Homework for next
meeting: bring your thoughts for the TV presentation text. Bring any answers
for Inventory questions.
Meetings are moved to the
second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The next meeting will be June 26,
Tuesday, at 6pm.
The meeting was adjourned at
7:16 pm. |
