I ON SELECTMEN
THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN WILL: • Hear an announcement about the seasonal change in shuttle bus schedules. • Hear a citizen request for a taxi license transfer from Beverly Topham, widow of Alvin "Toppy" Topham who died on Aug. 17. She seeks a legacy license to continue operation of her husband's TMS cab business. • Hold a public hearing on an HDC appeal submitted by E. Garrett Bewkes, III, for structures at 71 and 73 Squam Road. • Review the town's FY09 Capital Projects recommendations. • Hear a selectmen's report on support of an Edgartown application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a permit to investigate a tidal energy project intended to benefit Nantucket and The Vineyard. The Sept. 19 session that begins at 6 p.m. in the second floor court room of the town building will be taped but not aired on Channel 22 until Sunday, Sept. 23 at 10:30 a.m. because the Plum TV staff will be away for a company meeting.
• Heard an announcement from the Town Administrator that those wishing to remain on the taxi license waiting list must submit confirmations by Sept. 30. The confirmations must include a current address and a $10 annual administrative fee for staying on the list. • Unanimously approved a request for an annual Family Day Proclamation recognizing the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse. The town has approved this request for the last two years. It is called ADay To Eat Dinner With Your Children, and maintains that the more frequently children have dinner with their families the less likely they will be to abuse alcohol or drugs. • Voted against a request from the Nantucket Housing Authority for a letter of support regarding its funding application to the Community Preservation Committee. The $10,000 request is to pay for development of a Request for Proposal to build 50 affordable single-family, owner occupied dwellings along the NHA's nine vacant acres on Surfside Road. Selectman Michael Kopko motioned to support the request but the motion failed. Selectmen Chadwick, Roggeveen and Willauer voiced concern about endorsing one project proposal over others, but were not against the project concept.
• Heard a review of the FY09 and projected 10-year capital spending forecast but took no vote on the subject. Town Administrator Libby Gibson outlined total general fund requests, including the schools, at $37.4 million and enterprise fund requests at $37 million. General fund requests include buildings at about $30 million followed by beaches, parks and ponds projects at $3 million, school projects at about $2 million and road improvements coming in at around $1.4 million. In October and November the Capital Program Committee will review the requests and in December will forward them to the Finance Committee for adoption in January and February.
