Review Warrant

Discuss MIAF grant with Gabe McPhail

Discuss when resumes should be in for Admin job

Buzz Scott to present his charter boat plan

 

Notes

Buzz Scott discussed having a regular scheduled boat transportation. He will be servicing

North Haven, Vinlhaven and Matinicus. He is looking into funding to purchase

Schooner Wharf in Rockland. He will still be continuing his trap recycling program.

Buzz has 3 boats available and all will have a 6 pack license. Buzz will be reaching

out to George Tarkelson to discuss how they may best work together.

 

Gabe McPhail discussed moving forward with GEI engineers to make a plan for the

waterfront in the harbor. Last fall we had a grant for 75k from a Maine

infrastructure grant. This was put on hold because the Power Company was a

priority at that time. Gabe will obtain funding to allow her to do project

management on this. She and Laurie have been meeting to discuss the details. They

will submit the scope of work to the assessors. Gabe will assist in coordinating

community involvement as much of this is on private land.

 

The Warrant was review by the assessors and approved with no changes or

questions.

 

It was agreed that all resumes for Town Administrator should be submitted by May

1st in order for us to review and interview candidates before town meeting. It was

agreed that the job description should be placed in other venues. Ellen and Dorian

will discuss that further. Samantha suggested putting it on Facebook page Matinicus

2.0. So far we have 2 resumes submitted.

 

Phil asked that vehicles parked in the upper wharf area be removed so the fuel

tanks can be delivered. Samantha and Clayton said they would remove them

tomorrow. The vehicles are thought to be David Ames jr, David Ames sr and Tyler

Bemis’

.

Matt Libby’s Racoon project was discussed. Peggy Booth suggested we send out

permission slips with the caveat that if they do not reply it is considered consent. At3

this point we have 3 property owners who said not to the project. It was mentioned

that Matt would be reaching out to them. It also was brought up that having an

informational meeting about the project might be helpful.

Action Items

Philbrooks to see that vehicles are cleared from the tank delivery sight.

Laurie and Gabe will continue to discuss waterfront engineering.

Ellen will post Admin job description in other locations.
