Karin Chavis -Social Media has once again confused the

Also, ticketing on street cleaning day. About 3/4 could only be done. Ticketing should be done.
Town Manager did reach out to Chief Delehanty
Council President reflects that the Public Safety Building is still in discussion
He also went by the Town Clerks office and thanked them for a great job

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2020

Steve Dalton-Discusses the Library local data that he compiled from other libraries. He states when libraries

called and asked yes, and no questions are quite accurate. He is pleased things are moving in the right
direction.

Town Manager reiterates that he did not call any info false, he simply stated that Mr. Dalton’s information
was not the only information that he had received, No community is unique. Not that the Library is not
important, but the Library is not the only department suffering, the Public Works, Building Dept., and
Council on Aging are still suffering through this time. He was stating that there is a multitude of
information available. His office is working on opening the library and working hard on it.

Wants to make sure all understand, this is not a fight., it is a once in a lifetime pandemic, he is asking

for patience as how he is trying to provide services.

Suzanne Leonard-Echos Steve Dalton

Wendy Page- Discusses the Winthrop Middle School Building, she would like to see parcel 1 & 2 be sold
leaving he WMS as RA and CBD for auditorium and down. It was misquoted in paper.

Agrees to extend Point Shirley Parking.

A lot of beach residents have had complaints that parking is a problem as now beach goers are parking on
side streets, can this be considered town wide.

Julia Wallerce-Echo the comments on Steve and Suzanne and thanks Diane and Mary Lou for their
discussion

Regarding the Pt. Shirley parking pilot program. Alot of confused on the landing, and people did not know
this was open so this can be communicated better

Extending it is a good thing, has been a success.

If no demand, do not extend,

Approves Lower town wide speed limit

Sandra Aresty-Discusses the library and looks forward to the positive movement towards the opening.

Gerry Wardwell-In favor of extending Pt. Shirley Parking Pilot Program but not working well
around Grandview and considers this a nightmare.... there is no enforcement and parking has not
been friendly.

RD-17 tickets issued on Grandview for lack of sticker

Erica Risti-Very happy about library opening in the very near future.
Would like to see bike lanes in the town.

Gillian Texeira-Discusses Locust St motion and asks that people drive down this street and hoping that it
becomes one side parking. Asking TSAC to revisit and the parking on the corners. Also check the footage
near Cross Walk. Please consider this new motion in new business.

Kurt Millar-Express concern of information online. Watching some of the videos of the past rally in front

of town hall. Hoping that our town can promote peaceful rallies and counter protests. Town people must
get along.

Council President was at the rally and thought both groups peaceful

Councilor DeMarco-Inappropriate language coming from the Town Hall Side, racially comments not
needed, it needed to be better.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2020

Kevin Harris-Followed this group, they are not a Trump Group. He stood there and they do not wear
masks, they do not believe in Corona. These people make money off this, she causes problems and is very
troubling. He does not want them coming back.

Council President agrees that everyone has a right to free speech but keep peaceful.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

9.a Public Safety Committee
Miller Field Committee
Finance Committee
Economic Development
Virtual Town Hall-Councilor DeMarco

Councilor Flockhart reports on Public Safety-Please see attached information on meeting and walk
thru.

She had walked the area with Director Steve Calla and does not feel that the area is at all what has
been discussed. These parking easements are insufficient. On school side is an environmental spring
and then the fence around DPW yard is fully used and the gate at other end of Governors Park and
that empties out onto Winthrop Banks and Morton St. between parking spaces and gate, the road
would have to be re built to serve. Estimated Cost could be $300-$400,000 dollars.

Other road would open to Golden Drive, which is not acceptable.

Director DPW Calla proposed another solution and that to renovate the Gorman School could be the
new Public Safety Building and build a new elementary school on the site of the Middle School and
sell the now Police and Fire Station land.

***Public Safety Committee is not further pursuing this road.

Council President states that the Committee was tasked with finding a way to make an
access road, get a cost and negotiate with Governors. The possibility of those two
projects mentioned would run close to $180,000 Million. Request committee to come
back with costs, designs

Councilor Christopher question he had is how is this an easement and how would this
connect a road. To be a true easement it must connect something. Can we change from
Emergency use to another use?

Councilor Flockhart-We can go over list, but it was suggested to have a site walk thru

Miller Field Committee
No Meeting

Town Manager -Express gratitude to Joanne and stepping up with the election, did a great job.
We need more poll workers.

Councilor Honan -Wants to confirm that Galvin stated you only must be 16 to bea poll worker. Its a
good little job for the day and you get paid.

Councilor Ferrino-Asks Town Manager if posting of delinquent taxpayers but during this time, was

Banks School and realized that nothing was the way we had previously
understood it to be. If there was an easement for an emergency road through
Governor’s Park, | hope we did not pay for it, because what we received for it was
the right to use two parking spaces on their side of their fence. These parking
spaces would be insufficient for a road and on the school side of the fence is an
environmentally significant stream, which Steve and | assume would require
environmental permitting. On the school side of the stream is the fence around
the DPW yard which is currently fully used for vehicles, supplies, and eventually to
be reused construction materials. There is a gate at the other end of Governor’s
Park property that empties out onto Winthrop Street and thus to Banks Street
and Morton Street. Between the parking spaces and that gate is a parking lot road
which would have to be rebuilt to adequately serve significant daily traffic and

snow plows. Steve estimates that the cost of that road would be about $300,000
to $400,000.

The current emergency road is on the other side of the school and exits through
the senior housing on Golden Drive, which would not be acceptable for a regular
route out of the school.

Steve proposed another solution, which | like, and would solve a lot of problems
but would present its own new ones. That is to renovate the Gorman Fort Banks
School for our needed Public Safety Building, build a new elementary school on
the site of the old middle school, and sell the sites of the current police and fire
stations to a developer for housing. We would still have the second parcel on the
middle school site to build something. And if we could obtain the property
between the police and fire stations we would have a substantial site to develop.
Moving the elementary school to the center would drive traffic to the center and
be a convenience to parents with children in both elementary schools along with
solving our traffic problem on Revere Street.

The Public Safety Committee is not pursuing further the egress road at this time.
We will look into the easement that was negotiated with Governor's Park.
