Nantucket County meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Select Board approves 7 Dooley Court housing grant; capital requests forwarded

The Nantucket Select Board approved a grant agreement and mortgage for the development of three attainable homes at 7 Dooley Court, according to minutes of the board's October 7 meeting. The minutes do not state a dollar amount for the agreement.

The same meeting produced a set of votes on town contracts and a list of projects sent to the Capital Program Committee for review. Separately, the board held a planning retreat on October 6 and a brief executive session on October 8.

Housing action at 7 Dooley Court

The October 7 minutes record the board's approval of the grant agreement and mortgage for the three attainable homes. The Affordable Housing Trust's October 6 agenda listed a grant agreement and mortgage with NHA Properties, Inc. d/b/a Housing Nantucket for acquisition of 7 Dooley Court and three attainable single-family homes. Minutes of that Trust meeting have not been published, so no Trust action is recorded here.

The Select Board also waived the sewer connection permit fee for 13A Hawthorne Lane.

Solid waste contract and capital requests

The board approved a solid waste contract with Sanborn Head & Associates on a 4-0 vote. The minutes do not include a contract amount.

Forwarding sends an item to the committee for review; the minutes do not show funding approved for these projects.

Retreat sets direction, no policy votes

The board held its 9th strategic planning retreat on October 6 to review goals and priorities for town staff. No formal votes were taken on policy changes. According to the minutes, the board agreed to revisit paid parking implementation through the Transportation Advisory Committee, to focus a food waste separation pilot program on commercial waste, and to review outdated charter provisions. The meeting adjourned on a 4-0 vote.

Executive session

The board met on October 8 and voted 4-0 to adjourn into executive session to discuss real property matters and approve past executive session minutes. The minutes record no return to open session.

On agendas, awaiting minutes

Several meetings in the past two weeks posted votes or contracts but have not published minutes, so outcomes are not established in the record:
