Maintenance: Stan is to call Empire Paving – sidewalks are progressing – Sandra is to call Alex Paluzzi regarding raking and cleaning the beach and park, and repairing benches in Madeira Park. (Note Peter has two benches which just need boards and can be installed in Madeira Park.) We received a complaint about Madeira Park and dog droppings. We do have a litter ordinance with a $25-50 fine, though not enforced, and litter constables. There were also complaints concerning the kids defacing the newly-poured concrete sidewalks.

Police and Traffic: Commissioners will test other busses. Beth Milne representing the tour boat operators would like to unload more of the busses at the Triangle and have people, especially the children, walk to the dock, and requested an additional crosswalk.
A motion was made, seconded and unanimously approved to request that the Police commissioners install a crosswalk on the south side of Thimble Islands Road and Sachem Road intersection, and to also request flexible vertical bollards.Administration: The census was completed and mailed. Our CD matures March 29 and we will renew probably for 3 mos.

She encouraged people to go to the public hearing on April 2 in Branford and also March 11&16 in New Britain.

 

New Business: John Herzan addressed the board representing the Connecticut Historical Commission and the Quarry Workers Celebration Committee regarding contributing to the cost of sponsoring the Stony Creek Quarry for nomination to the National Register, as we had for Stony Creek and the Thimble Islands years ago. A firm, Bruce Cloulette of Past Inc, Storrs, CT, has been hired to do the documentation required. Cost of the study is $4200. The first half has been paid and of the second half, the town and state are contributing $700 each.
