BOARD OF SELECTMEN Page 5 MINUTES MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1990 'Fiscal Policy__Advisory Report: Mr. Al Polsi commented on the rewarding experience to service this committee and the benefit of Kevin Harrington. He has recom- mended the policy be distributed to the taxpayers. He has seen things in a different perspective since working with the committee and acknowledges the value of this report. Chairman Carter has suggested to make the report available at the local post office and at town meeting. Selectman Gottlieb has suggested a mailer to report the availability of the report and have the resident request the mailing of it. Selectman Hanson also agrees. Bill Jones agrees. with Mr. Polsi. He feels the report should also be. available in .graphics for comparison and agrees with the need to communicate to the public. Discussion Relative to South Cape Beach: Selectman Gottlieb presented a third option relative to South Cape Beach. The town and state would sign an agreement for the town to keep the existing parking lot and gain use of the existing state parking lot at the end of Great Oak Road. The state would construct the new town beach on the eastern portion of the beach. The town would then have the option through 1995 at any time to inform the state that it would like to take over use of the facility. The town would transfer ownership at that time. The roadwork would be completed as discussed. DEM would construct a contact station at the intersection of Great Oak Road and McGregor Road. The town would get unrestricted use of the western side of the beach through 1995 unless we choose to exercise our option. Selectman Gottlieb feels this would benefit the town in viewing the new town beach to see what it would look like before voting in agreement. In the event of a storm during the five year period, there is language to provide dual access to the beach between the state and town. Selectman Gottlieb has discussed this option with Mr. Kirsner. He agrees with the concept. Selectman Carter also agrees this is a fair option. Selectman Hanson also agrees with the option. Selectman Lawrence also agrees but is cautious with decision date of 1995. If the project iS not completed until 1993, we should not give up the beach until 1998. The motion was made by Selectman Lawrence to support the third option as discussed by Selectman' Gottlieb. Selectmani Gottlieb seconded the motion. The decision is unanimous with the Selectmen.
