Page 5 . BOS Administrative Mtg. 6/9/81 the beaches need more supervision and the Recreation Commission • has not been very active. The beache operation could be a money- making operation, if it were handled properly, she feels. But she was not sure she could support a seperate Beach Committee. Chm. Garland stated he could see a Committee like that getting out of hand. He felt before we have a Beach Committee, we should see what happens with South Cape Beach. Both Selectmen felt an Article of this nature is premature, and agreed it should be dropped from the Warrant. ARTICLE #13 - Selectmen voted to drop this Article ARTICLE #14 ARTICLE #15 Selectmen will support this Article . ARTICLE #16 - Selectmen felt this Article should have a dollar amount. Executive Secretary will contact Mr. Sweeney to get proper amount to insert in Warrant. ARTICLE #17 - Submitted by Council on Aging, which+ will be meeting to- morrow. The Council just feels 'they are .not getting .enough water, but the Selectmen felt 'not� enough research has' been done on -this problem to determine that a new tank is needed. Sel. Thomas feels a grant the COA got last year should cover this problem. The pump may just need • adjusting. The Executive Secretary recommended dropping this Article, and the Selectmen concurred. r ,. , ARTICLE #18 The Executive Secretary does not feel. this Article, re- questing .funds to renovate" the storage building at the Senior Center, should be - in the Warrant - no plans have been presented to show what is needed. Chm. Garland felt that when the plans are prepared, some of the Senior Citizens should be able to do some of the work themselves. Sel. Thomas suggested sending a letter to the COA informing them there will be a Special Town Meeting in the fall , when perhaps they can have some concrete plans ready. ARTICLE #19 Some of this money will go for lights and siren for one of the Police Department's vehicles. ARTICLE #'20 The Selectmen agreed to drop this Article from the Warrant until some study can be made of the request. Sel. Thomas be- lieves there has already been prepared a plan of the cemetery, and Mr. Pocknett should have. it. The Executive Secretary said the plan is the first step - at the Special Town Meeting in the fall, funds will be asked to expand the cemetery. ARTICLE #21 The Executive Secretary recommended deferring this Article. Chm. Garland asked if there was no money in the contingency fund? The Exec. Secretary stated that there may be, but he doesn' t want to touch that while there are still other problems hanging out there. No one had seen any plans or specifications on the Drying Tower that would indicate it was ready to go out for bid; it was de- cided to drop Article 21 from the Warrant.
