The Nantucket Landmark Commission voted on several formal items at its Nov. 25 meeting.
Warrant authorization: Chair (unidentified) presented a warrant authorization request for a capital funds transfer totaling $131,641.97. A motion to approve the warrant authorization was made and seconded; the commission approved the authorization by voice vote.
Designer‑services contract (Melville): Staff reported it had received an evaluation and a recommendation to issue a contract for the Melville designer services (SMRT). The commission authorized issuance of the contract and directed that the executive director (Rachel) be authorized to sign the contract subject to final negotiation of the fee and standard contract negotiations. The motion was seconded and approved.
Lobster‑trap tree funding (consent item): The commission approved consent items, including a motion to allocate $2,000 to support the community lobster‑trap tree display. Commissioners thanked volunteer organizers for the project and approved the allocation by voice vote.
28 Washington Street parking: Staff presented options for the small parking area near 28 Washington Street. After discussion the commission voted to leave the area as it is (public/free parking) rather than convert it to grass or management-only parking.
Lily Pond wedding request: Staff brought a request for a 90‑person wedding at Lily Pond during a construction phase. Commissioners expressed concerns about construction conflicts, public safety and parking capacity. A motion not to approve the 90‑person request carried by voice vote.
Executive session: The chair announced the meeting would move into executive session to discuss property purchase/exchange and to approve executive session minutes. A motion to enter executive session passed by voice vote; the commission did not reconvene in open session.
