Board updates: dredging costs, hazard mitigation, committee vacancies and community notes
Summary
Board members reported on committee openings, hazard-mitigation meetings, dredging cost estimates, voting-machine demos, comp-plan work and community events including shellfish seeding and a high-school basketball milestone.
Board members used their reports to update the public on multiple ongoing items. The green options committee is awaiting an NREL report and will present findings to the board. Hazard mitigation work continues with biweekly meetings and plans for public input. Mananic Creek Keepers and town volunteers discussed dredging as a long-term project; one board member cited a very large estimate ("upwards of $14,000,000") for a full dredging project because of specialized disposal needs.
Members also noted an offer from the county to demonstrate new voting equipment ahead of the election, progress on the comprehensive plan and CPF acquisition planning, and community notes including recent shellfish-seeding work and the boys basketball team's first home game in five years and a player milestone. The board reminded the public of ongoing committee vacancies and work to fill planning and advisory posts.
