Waluoit Bay—Jim Danks Jim reported a similar situation for Waluoit Bay with the exception of a few scallopers and Commercial Shell-fishermen. County Dredge Advisory Meeting—William Taylor Bill Taylor reported that there was no meeting, Rick`fork asked if the County Dredge was doing maintenance dredging off Popponesset. Jinn Hanks reported that the dredge was scheduled for mid November,but he had asked Wayne Jaedtke if the schedule could be reversed to do Chatham first then Popponesset. The reasons are that we did not have a before-dredge survey in tinne to give the Army Corps of Engineers 2 weeks notice. Also without the before-dredge survey we couldn't tell Save Popponesset day how much the booster work would cost, and we still did not have things worked out regarding putting material on the spit. Wayne was behind schedule anyway, and agreed. We are now scheduled for the first week in January. Jim also explained that Save Popponesset Bay is interested in donating an amount of money to the Town for the purpose of using a booster pump to get the material near the root of Popponesset Spit). Also, they would like to dredge as much of the material as can be dredged within their budget and the constraints of our maintenance dredging permit. They consider this a stopgap measure as they continue to work on the project to re-build the spit so it Will function more effectively as a barn*er beach. The donation would be set up in a special account through Diane Rommelmeyer that could be expended by the Selectmen, and the donation would have to carry with it very specific instructions on the purpose of the funds and how they are to be used. Jerry Daly asked whether this would be the inside or outside charnel, arra Jim explained it could be both, depending on how much material is there, but wewon't know until we get the before- dredge survey results.
