<br />transportation. The State has lifted the restrictions but they have reserved the right for the locals <br />to impose their own restrictions if need be. Will the board entertain continued mask requirements <br />or gathering limits? <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgaertel would like to have guidance from what other towns are doing? <br /> <br />Mr. Harrington noted Ms. Willander participated on the Cape conference calls, two calls asked if <br />there were plans to enact own regulations and her answer was not at this time. No one else is <br />looking for additional requirements from Cape Health Agents. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgaertel stated he would like to start reopening things carefully with an eye for protecting <br />some of those more sensitive populations. Mask advisory is not recommended. Someone who <br />refused vaccination won’t wear a mask. What does everyone else think, end of masking? <br /> <br />Ms. Patel’s biggest concern is tourism. At the end of the day people will still practice mask <br />protocols, quarantining to an extent. We will respect all people. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgaertel would like to keep an eye on the numbers, if things go south. Every hotel is sold <br />out already. It will be a busy summer. <br /> <br />Mr. Harrington questioned the requirement for remote meetings. Will the Board still require all <br />meetings to be remote or can the meetings return to in-person? <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgaertel noted there was an end to the emergency order. All open meeting law changes <br />were based on that order. With that gone, he is unsure if Zoom is recommended anymore. <br /> <br />Mr. Virgilio does not like the meetings starting at 7:00p.m., especially during the evenings with a <br />hefty agenda. He cannot commit to that late start time. He will make a proposal to start the <br />meetings earlier when they are back in person. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgaertel would also propose an earlier meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Harrington stated Thursdays are his days he gets most accomplished on Board items. He will <br />try to shift his schedule to do it, every week it’s impossible with the volume of work. He can <br />identify a different day earlier in the week if he needs to prepare. <br /> <br />Mr. Virgilio advocated to give Mr. Harrington ample time to meet deadlines. <br /> <br />Mr. Harrington will allot a two week closure of their agenda. This gives an extra week to get things <br />ready for the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgaertel is in support of that change, and if something absolutely needs to be on the <br />meeting they can look to the Chair to complete that. <br /> <br />Mr. Harrington noted the engineers need to know to do abutter notifications. They are the ones <br />affected on the schedule change. Others only doing one time applications aren’t going to be <br />bothered. People who have their own customers to service need to get proper notification. If we <br />set a date when we want to go to the 5:00p.m. time frame, then he will do a two week period for <br />agenda closure. He also needs to find a conference room to ensure there isn’t any conflict. There <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
