“MOTION: Move that the Board of Selectmen adopt the Town Manager's recommended budget for Dept. 156, in the amount of $62,250 Motion: Erik Yingling Seconded: Robert Anthony o 482 Airport Commission - Airport Manager, Airport Commission Airport Manager Arthur "Butch" L presented the Airport Budget. Few small increases in maintenance and contracted services. The largest increase is the airport security due to FSA no longer funding security detail officers. This is a FDA required services and without the funding from the Town we will not be able to fly. Selectman Anthony - If there are no officers there, can they fly? Who has negotiated the pay? Vice Chair Yingling - could you explain to me officer coverage requirement? Selectman Donegan - for the snow plowing, this is something we do outside of the town budgeting? In terms of user fees, I understand that security fees are required, how much of those cost are being offset by the revenues bringing brought in through rent. This is a regional asset and I would really appreciate revisiting increases in revenues. Manager L - the reason we separated this originally was that it was a higher increase for the DPW to hire more staff and coverage. We took this out of the DPW budget, if we were to bring it back in, that would have to be a further discussion. There are a number of different fees that are charged. One thing to keep in mind is that we have not even reach 10k passengers which means we may not qualify for FDA funding. Town Manager - I would have to look at this in more detail and come back for further discussion. Many of these costs are being looked at and negotiated..” (Motion: Yingling, second: Anthony)

We will be using different funding sources to contribute to OPEB. And on top of the 500k we will be funding an additional 200k in a town meeting article. Town Manager Panagore we have been making changes TD - what is the arc for OPEB this year? If we add in the contributions in are we still below? Did Josee get an amount from Cape Cod Health Care or is this a blend? JY - we are underfunded. The town has been really proactive at funding. I hope we will be close to arc when we add in the additional 200k in a town meeting article. LV - where are we with the health consultant? JY - we actually met with the consultant today, she gave us an estimated timeline of when we would get her first review and from there she would start looking at recommendations for alternative plans for us to participate with. She is hoping for a 2-3 week turn around to get the information from Cape Cod Health Care back and then will start analyzing the data. DP - have even asked them to look at changes in the law because our options are limited. TD - Sandwich is willing to share their results. It would be terrific to stay in touch when they finalize their decision. It would be great if when we get to Town Meeting, if we showed the division and breakdown in the narrative talking points..” (Motion: Yingling, second: Anthony)

EY - after the CIP how much free cash will you have? JY - 1, 141, 533 free cash will be left before anything else is pulled out. LV - is the beach nourishment the only thing you feel that you need to do in flood mitigations? TD - we have talked about in the past, putting in gates, to prevent water going into the waste water system when the tide rises too high. It might be worth accelerating in other parts of town. I think it got done in the phase 3 Thisamore and at Howland. RA - when we had Rex here, he had talked about doing beach nourishment when he does dredging, is this covered under it. Would recommend a drain on Gosnold. DP - the most significant action we can take is for the Town to take over the Ryder Street Outfall pipe at the cost of about 2.5 million dollars..” (Motion: Yingling, second: Anthony)
