• Unanimously approved requests from Capital Programs Committee at-large member Matthew Mulcahy, Nantucket Historical Commission member Aaron Marcavitch and Parks and Recreation Commission member Leslie Johnson to accept their resignations. Mulcahy cited his appointment to the Finance Committee, Marcavitch cited his new role as Executive Director of the Nantucket Housing Office and a baby on the way and Johnson named time conflicts with the day the commission meets as reasons for stepping down. The board decided to write Richard Moran, who sought to resign from the Commission on Disability, asking him to consider remaining on the commission. In his letter to the board, Moran expressed displeasure at only being appointed for a one-year term after demonstrating devoted meeting attendance.

• Unanimously accepted a request for approval of a disclosure of financial interest from Carl England, Jr., an Airport Commissioner who has entered into airport lease agreements.

• Unanimously voted to accept a request for a sewer easement grant from the Aurora Way Owners Association Trust.

WhiteyWillauer

• Unanimously voted to continue for one week a decision on a request from the nonprofit Nantucket Homes for People on behalf of homeowners in the Abrem Quary development to waive duplicate fees.

• Heard and unanimously accepted an annual presentation of the Transportation Improvement Program which includes a four-year listing of projects eligible to receive federal and state funding. Projects from 2008 through 2011 include the Nobadeer Farm Road bike path, realignment of the four corners intersection and phases one and two of the Hummock Pond Road bike path. The four corners realignment would provide a right turning lane off Surfside Road onto Sparks Avenue just past the large elm tree outside the high school, which is expected to reduce vehicle waiting time for turning by about 13 seconds.
