MEMBERS PRESENT: Tony Gallo, Chairman, Denise Sullivan, Al Polsi, Ed Baker, Dan Goggin, John Ferriday, Deidre Greelish Unfinished Business: John Ferriday, at Ed Baker's request, was going to get a copy of the FY 91 End of the Year Report that was submitted to the Department of Education. John was also going to get, at Al Polsi's request, the School Department's fringe benefit package. MINUTES: Members all agreed that the minutes of January 30, 1992 would be voted on on Thursday, February 6, 1992. Members also agreed that the memo to Kevin Harrington regarding the consolidation of Harbormaster and Shellfish Departments be signed. Denise Sullivan motioned to send another memo to Kevin Harrington regarding Popponesset Spit. Deidre Greelish seconded the motion, but Tony Gallo called for discussion. Tony then went on to explain to the members that during the hurricane in August, Popponesset Spit had been washed away by the high tides and strong winds. The Executive Secretary got it repaired without getting approval by the selectmen. The selectmen were under the impression that the funding would come from Federal funding and State funding and that no money would come from the town. It was declared an emergency by the Governor. One of the questions being asked is whether or not Popponesset Spit is private property or public property. If it is private property then Federal funding will not reimburse the town. John Ferriday mentioned that the Spit is private property but that the sand from the Spit washed into the waterway, which is public property. Members all agreed that there needs to be some type of resolution because the taxpayers will want some assurance that this type of thing will not happen again. Members then voted 7-0 to send a memo to the Board of Selectmen requesting their resolution. The matter of the Board Secretary to the School Building Needs Committee was resolved. The $1,055.00 is going to be transferred from the Reserve Account to the Personnel Wage Account. Al Polsi indicated that the Personnel Board would like to meet with the Finance Committee on Monday. Members agreed that Monday would be fine. Deidre motioned that Al's recommendations should also be discussed. She handed out a packet to the members which was typed from Al's initial report.
