Select Board asks staff to draft policy for town-dock camera access on Great Cranberry Island
Summary
Ingrid Gaither asked the Select Board on Jan. 6, 2026 to consider placement of cameras on the Great Cranberry Island town dock and proposed creating a policy limiting Town employee access; the board agreed and Gaither will draft the policy.
The Cranberry Isles Select Board discussed placement of cameras on the Great Cranberry Island (GCI) town dock at its Jan. 6, 2026 meeting. Select Board member Ingrid Gaither introduced the request and proposed the board create a policy governing Town employee access to cameras installed on Town property.
Board members agreed without dissent that a policy should be developed and assigned Gaither to work on it. The minutes record general discussion but do not include proposed policy language, access restrictions, data-retention rules, or the vendor that would supply hardware. Those specifics were not specified and will require development by staff and the board.
The item was recorded as a direction to produce a policy rather than a formal vote to install cameras. Future meetings will be needed to consider locations, technical specifications, privacy considerations, and any necessary interagency approvals.
