Summary
The Select Board and Affordable Housing Committee approved an easement that allows Eversource to provide electric service to the Tackenash Knoll affordable housing project at 85 Edgartown–Vineyard Haven Road. The motion passed unanimously at the joint Municipal Housing Trust meeting.
The Oak Bluffs Select Board and the town’s Affordable Housing Committee on July 21 approved an Eversource easement (WO#19961102, Underground 10180) to provide electric service to the Tackenash Knoll affordable-housing project at 85 Edgartown–Vineyard Haven Road.
Marissa Jackson presented the easement request and Town Administrator Brough explained that the approval required a joint meeting because the project is managed under the Municipal Housing Trust, which includes Select Board members and Affordable Housing Committee representatives. Select Person Mark Leonard moved to approve the easement; Select Person William (Bill) Cleary seconded.
The motion passed on a roll-call vote, 8–0 (Cleary, Leonard, Green-Beach, Donahue, Ben-David, Bishop, Bradford, Alley voted Aye). The board then closed the joint Municipal Housing Trust meeting.
No further implementation details or recording steps were specified in the meeting minutes. The Select Board returned to its regular agenda after the joint session.
