That the Select Board present the following statement/offer to the Town of Scituate through its' Select Board that the Cohasset Select Board wants to engage in outreach with the Town of Scituate to see if we can find a mutual resolution over Cohasset Harbor. Specifically, the Cohasset Select Board proposes that both Towns work on an agreement between Scituate and Cohasset to protect and safely manage our shared coastal resources. We propose that the Select Boards of Scituate and Cohasset mutually agree to work collaboratively on the management of their shared waters in and around Cohasset Harbor, honoring these principles: 1) Protecting the area's marine environment, its natural beauty, and its water quality is critically important. 2) Preserving safe and accessible public access to these waters for recreational, sporting and educational purposes is a priority for all. We propose that both communities further recognize that in order to achieve these goals a mutually acceptable governance agreement for these shared waters should be drafted and adopted. Such an agreement would address the following and other identified topics: 1) The roles and responsibilities of each community's public safety resources, including patrol and enforcement duties, regulatory oversight, and safety enforcement; 2) The maintenance of boating channels, the breakwater which protects Cohasset Cove, public mooring and docking facilities, and the like; 3) The impact of regulated and licensed commercial activities on the environment, on the safety of those using the waters for recreational, sporting and educational activities, on public safety and regulatory resources, and on other identified areas of concern; 4) The collection of revenue from and the payment of expenses for the management of the shared waters. In order to create this agreement, we propose that both Select Boards commit to appointing representatives to negotiate the various elements identified, to receive their recommendations, and to adopt a completed agreement that ensures the preservation of these waters for residents of both communities for many years to come. Pending this work, we propose that both Select Boards agree to pause the granting of any new licenses or permits, excluding renewals, in these shared waters. It is the Cohasset Select Board's goal to preserve and protect the Cohasset Harbor area in collaboration and perpetuity with Scituate.
