AT ITS MEETING ON AUG. 8, THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN:

• Heard an announcement from Marine Superintendent Dave Fronzuto that the town is looking into developing regulations for fishing in island ponds and that the Harbor Plan Implementation Group will meet in early September.

• Unanimously voted to accept a collective bargaining agreement for the police department.

• Unanimously approved an annual $10 application fee for people on the taxi license waiting list.

• Discussed but took no action on the town's January letter to the Department of Environmental Protection regarding Great Harbor Yacht Club's application for a Chapter 91 waterways license. The board wants to see how the Department of Environmental Protection rules on 13 recommendations for the license submitted to DEP by the selectmen.

• Heard a departmental overview from the Human Resources Department.

• Unanimously ratified an action from a Monday workshop to change the date for the Special Town Election from Tuesday, Sept. 11 to Tuesday, Sept. 18. The date was changed because of a conflict with the Town Clerk's schedule. The ballot contains one question for a $1 million override to help pay for the town's purchase of 10 and 12 Washington St. to use as a shuttle bus hub. If the override fails, the sum of $2.5 million the town anticipates from the sale of Surfside area property to the Land Bank, planned for use towards the Washington Street parcel, would possibly go into the town's general fund, said Selectman Brian Chadwick.
