Donna called the meeting to order at 2:05
PM. She filled in for Melissa.
Donna commented that she had been approached
by a resident who felt that the statement ÒPaul said masks were not requiredÓ as
recorded in the June 16th minutes was taken out of context. Because
we have not been recording CART meetings, it is difficult to provide an
accurate context, therefore David moved and Michael seconded that the
minutes of June 16th as revised to remove the aforementioned
statement from the 6/16 minutes.
Unanimous.
Michael moved to accept the minutes of June
30 and Leila seconded: Unanimous
By consensus it was decided to record all
future meetings of CART.
Donna stated that Carol was unable to attend and if anyone has a question re: CTC, they can email her.
Donna observed how few people are riding the boat even on Tuesday, which was a traditional grocery day.
GCGC Update: Jim stated that the GCGC was very quiet and that revenue is evaporating.
CRC Update: Eliza Jane reported that the ÒWave ParadeÓ was a success. More than 50 cars participated.
Sign Update: Eliza J reported that when the grant comes through, she will
order more signs related to the following: signs for CTC relating to bus and
wharf protocols; playground and field (Polly suggested ÒPlay at your own riskÓ);
3 large transfer station signs as well as one for the entrance. Marjorie
suggested that one sign say ÒMasks required at Transfer Station per Dump
GoddessÓ. Marjorie gave the go
ahead for the Transfer Station signs.
Testing Update:
Nancy
Hill reported that the Testing Team which now includes Jackie Trask, Nancy
Hill, and Ann Bowman in addition to Jim, Kip and Jenny, will start testing on
Wednesday July 7 on the island.
The person being tested must have symptoms or been exposed to someone
who has tested positive. A video re: the testing program will be released soon.
Contract tracing will also occur if there is a positive test.
Food Pantry
Update: Polly reported that 42 families accessed the Food
Pantry on 7/1. 12 of them were summer friends. Jen Corson has asked for
volunteers to help with certain tasks. They are writing a grant to Recompense
to buy an additional refrigerator for the Parish House so that they can have
food available during the week if needed. The Ladies Aid donated an additional
$500. Volunteers should contact
Jen, Denise, Polly or Jessie for more information.

Chandlers. This includes an evening boat. CBL has taken a $4.2 million hit.

parents PK-12. The State has not taken a position.
Town Update: Marjorie
reported that she was working on the paper work related to the grant and was
sending the vendor code information and is waiting to hear. 3 selectmen will
have to ok the contract before it can be signed. Donna commented that the job
descriptions should be created so that we can advertise as soon as the Grant is
accepted. Leila and Eliza Jane volunteered to work with Donna on the job
descriptions. Leila noted that the Welcome Kits have been well received.

original letter has been reviewed, and it is still appropriate. Paint pots have been a hit!
