Beach/Pond
Committee Report
10/18/06
- Beach
Update:
- Coordinating
water shut off and seasonal meter removal for both Kelly Beach and
Little Beach.
- A
small group of us met with Marine surveyor Joe Fercellia to explore
surveying mean high tide at Kelly Beach.
After much discussion I am recommending we do not survey
Kelly Beach for the following reasons:
i.
In all likelihood we will be greatly disappointed with final
outcome.
ii.
Managing the mean high tide delineation will be problematic.
iii.
Although his quote of $1500 for surveying our beach to the
rocks was reasonable, I would still recommend we use this money other
projects.
- Pond
Update:
- Frank
has been working closely with Mr. Barber to dredge open the area
between Kelly Beach and the pond for October Herring run. We at the
same time would like to coordinate Mr. Barber’s time and effort to
clean out various culverts between causeway and
Lake Road
.
- We
have contacted Coastal and have applied for the 2006/2007 “Request
for Pre-Proposals”. I
would like to recognize Bill Dickerson for his time and effort and
ask him to report to the council on his findings and next steps.
- Boat
Storage:
- We
are still waiting on final approval or disapproval from the BSBC.
- Community
Center Study:
- As
mentioned at our last meeting, we have sent out three “Request for
Proposals” for our community center study.
I followed up last week with all three firms and Newport
Collaborative has expressed their desire not to quote on the
project. We are awaiting
quotes form Calson Corporation as well as Robinson Green and
Beretta.
- I
would like to meet as a committee to start the internal process of
identifying current and future usage and create an internal and
general consensus of how best our community center can service the
needs of the BSFD residents. I would like to suggest this first
meeting be held 9 AM
Saturday, November 4., here at the Community Center.
