Board discusses kayak launch outreach and proposed recreation fee changes
Summary
The board agreed to notify neighbors individually about a proposed East River kayak launch and discussed proposed recreation fee changes, including $7.50 per residential lot and $1,000 for contiguous multi‑unit properties; a resolution to adopt the rec‑fee changes will be prepared for a future meeting.
Members discussed a proposed kayak launch on the East River and said the town should send registered letters and a schematic to immediately affected neighbors before proceeding. The chair offered to draft outreach materials and meet one‑on‑one with neighbors to explain the plan.
On recreation fees, board members reviewed recommendations (which some members did not receive via the liaison email) and discussed putting the changes on a future agenda or adopting them at reorganization. The chair summarized proposed fees as "$7.50 per residential lot and $1,000 per contiguous, multi‑unit" and said the office would prepare a resolution for the next meeting.
Board members agreed neighbor outreach for the launch and a clear public notice process for fee changes were prudent next steps.
