Attendees:
Debbie Scranton,
Shannon Pytlik, Jill Burkett, Ralph Nimtz, Carol Macleod, Kim Royar, David Klock
Welcome to new members Jill Bliss (formally Burkett) and
Josh Gilman
Updates:
A.
Rain garden signs –
Shannon
emailed examples to the group. We
approved 2’ X 3’ colored signage @ $300.00 by Greenscreen.
Shannon
will order. Cost will be covered by
the grant and includes the angled post.
B.
Shannon
found metal markers @ 100 for $100.00 in 4 colors.
Group agreed that Shannon
should order 200 for $200.00 plus shipping
C.
Tree identification markers: So
far 13 different trees have been identified (10” X 12” signs).
Carol will purchase enough for 25 tree markers.
Should also have a brochure box made.
D.
Trail markers are needed to mark the walking paths.
Naming of the trails (i.e. Fisherman’s Way, Vulture View) needs to be
done before signs can be made.
E.
Kiosk: Look into applicability of LEXAN for kiosk covering:
¼” X 48” X 48” =$128.52. Ralph has already purchased approximately
half of the materials and will purchase the rest soon.
Outreach materials can be laminated and then covered with the Lexan
(instead of plexiglass).
F.
Weed filter fabric: Carol
has the weed filter fabric from bridge to basket ball court. Cost $193.00
G.
Consider purchasing a laminator
H.
Shannon
worked up a budget (approximately $2,800). We
may want to have Tony review the budget to make sure it is in line with the real
costs.
Shannon
will try to get the grant amended so we could use the $1,500 that was
originally budgeted for labor for more materials.
Carol will go see Joyce and let her know that to date we think we have
spent $350 of the grant budget. She
will then check with Tony.
I.
Carol is still wondering whether the Selectboard will give us
permission to use a portion of the $5,000
that was voted on at town meeting in 2004 for this project.
J. Jill will ask Roy Morgan whether he can bring his backhoe to the
pit and help dig holes for the kiosks and sign posts. Anyone who can, should
meet at the beach at 10:00 am to stake kiosk locations and trail naming. Carol
will get the key to the gate.
New Business:
All other WCC programs. Put
off until next meeting.
Adjourn at 8:00 p.m.
