Committee plans public survey on recreational priorities and flags boat‑launch questions
Summary
The committee agreed to draft a public survey on recreational priorities for Warner's Pond—access, ADA launch, channels, and birdwatching—and to coordinate with the recreation commission; a $260,000 figure for boat‑launch revamp was mentioned when discussing funding and responsibilities.
As the RFP discussion wound down, the committee shifted to recreational improvements and outreach.
Chair (speaker 2) said the next Gantt‑chart item is recreational improvements and listed potential topics (channel creation, access to Scout Island, ADA‑compatible launches, birdwatching infrastructure). Caroline (speaker 6) volunteered to draft a public survey targeted to abutters and stakeholders, asking members to send potential questions by Aug. 17 so a draft can be ready for the Aug. 20 meeting.
Members discussed roles and responsibilities for future boat‑launch work. The chair said there is about "$260,000 to revamp the boat launch" and encouraged engagement with the recreation commission and other liaisons to align responsibilities and avoid duplicative work. The committee agreed outreach and targeted stakeholder engagement are necessary before advancing recreational plans.
