SOUTH CAPE BEACH MAY 10, 1995 PAGE Town Management of the Facility: M. Kirsner stated that this had been a heated issuer particularly from the Town Planners, etc. ver compatible situation would be that the Town take over town management of the facility, or to some extent participate in the town management. Sole management at the present -time is the Town's preference. Chin. Kirsner' stated that at our July 13, 1994 meeting when the matter was posed to Commissioner Webber, he indicated that perhaps sbmething could be worked out. Apparently that 'is -not the present position of the commissioner nor the present state of mina of the Department, N. vont alides responded that the Department should operate the facili- terand ensure that it is operated proper, that it meets all of the criteria that had, been voted upon. , Kirsner assumed, based upon the commissioner' s letter of March 27 , 1995, that this was not a closed subject, that it could be reopened at any time. Nick believed that was correct. The next discussion related to ORVISI Nick stated they would have to work out a mechanism to deal with- people having access by special pe - mit. M. Kirsner stated that this matter was provided for in the , June 1981 Agreement, and that Paragraph #1 and #4 thereof should be incorporated by referendum into the management agreement. Sandi Wolchanski agreed to these changes on the management plan. Francis LeBaron stated there should be no special permits for O v' s on that beach between April 1st and the end of August during the nest- ing of the piping plovers. Nick: We will be required to isolate those areas within the facility. What you. are suggesting should be spelled out as a permanent policy. This policy will be set up as a matter of course in the Conservation Commission management Plan* Francis LeBaron and Catherine Conroy volunteered to attend the Conser- vation Commission meeting with DEM on May 11, 1995 at 9 :50 p. m. relative to the above issues. Item #21,' DEM stated it will provide -war -radios for communication between the beach and the contact station. M. Kirsner stated he had made a mote, "2-war radios being supplied to park personnel situated t strategic intersections in order to control traffic would be an excellent insurance. 'l Nick V. indicated the cost might be too high but he would look into i 4... Lifeguards: W. woods suggested that the M'ni l staffing should ins dude two lifeguards. T f there will be only one guard on that beach, then there must be really good communication between the Town Beach guards and the State Beach guards.
