Board member Rachael McGrath presented a concept drawing for a waterfront access park in the Town of Huron, outlining amenities she envisions for the site. "dock, paddle boards, fishing access, pavilion, playground and all would be handicap accessible," McGrath said while describing the sample drawing she provided to the board. She told the board that swimming or a boat launch could pose liability concerns for the town.
Chairman Alexandra Welsh asked whether lifeguards would be required for swimming, and asked the Town Attorney to look into grant opportunities and liability implications. Deb Stuck voiced support for including a playground and asked about potential grants and liability coverage. The board treated the item as a conceptual discussion with no formal motion or vote recorded at the meeting.
