ADJOURNMENT *Public Comment: please see attached Public Comment Policy which can also be found at https://www.nantucket-ma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/51055/Public-Comment-Policy--- Adopted-by-the-Select-Board-on-February-12-2025-PDF. **New Business: Topics not reasonably anticipated by the Chair 48 hours in advance of the meeting may be brought up for discussion in accordance with the Open Meeting Law. 3 [PAGE 4] Town of Nantucket Public Comment Policy Adopted by Select Board February 12, 2025 A. Purpose: This Policy is adopted to facilitate orderly and efficient public comment periods at meetings of Town public bodies. It will protect the ability of the residents of Nantucket, and other persons, to provide feedback or information to pertinent public bodies regarding matters of public interest, Town initiatives, operations, services, and programs. To allow speakers a fair opportunity to address a public body, and to ensure the public body may accomplish its stated business in an efficient manner, these guidelines seek to ensure compliance with the Open Meeting Law and meet other legal and constitutional obligations. Meetings of public bodies in the Town of Nantucket should be places to engage in orderly and peaceable discourse. B. Authority: Principles of free speech and freedom to petition the government, fundamental rights protected by the United States and Massachusetts Constitutions, prohibit public bodies from preventing all speech that may be upsetting or offensive. As such, this Policy establishes reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions sufficient to facilitate orderly and peaceable public comment periods at meetings of elected and appointed public bodies of the Town. C. Legal Standards: Meetings of public bodies are subject to the requirements of the Open Meeting Law, G.L. c. 30A, §§ 18-25. The Open Meeting Law empowers the chair of a public body to preside at and regulate the proceedings of meetings. Pursuant to G.L c. 30A, § 20(g), no person shall address a meeting of a public body without permission of the chair, and all persons shall, at the request of the chair, be silent. Any person wishing to speak at an open meeting must first be recognized by the chair. All questions raised and all comments made by a duly-recognized speaker must be directed to the chair of the public body alone, not to individual members of the public body, staff, or the public. The chair is authorized to maintain order, and, although a rare occurrence, has authority, after appropriate [PAGE 5] warnings are ignored, to take action up to and including removal of a person who is disrupting a meeting. D. Application: To secure the rights of the public to participate in public comment periods in the Town of Nantucket in a manner consistent with law, and, to thereby protect the Town and members of elected and appointed bodies from civil rights claims, this policy shall apply to all public bodies in the Town of Nantucket. E. Procedures: 1. All agendas of multiple-member bodies in the Town of Nantucket shall include a period for Public Comment, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 3. Where to place Public Comment on the agenda is at the discretion of the chair. If public comment is invited during a separate agenda item, this Policy shall govern. 2. While statements made during a Public Comment period are not required to address an agenda item for that particular meeting, such comments must relate to a matter within the public body’s jurisdiction. Public comments on matters outside the public body’s jurisdiction may be ruled out of order by the chair. To avoid due process issues, a person seeking to provide comments on a matter appearing on the same agenda will be asked to defer until the specific agenda item is reached. 3. Each speaker will be allowed to speak once for up to 3 minutes. The chair will curtail verbal comments exceeding the allotted time. 4. A recognized speaker may not cede or assign their time to another unless such an assignment is required as reasonable accommodation for such person because of a disability. All speakers who may need an accommodation are strongly encouraged to contact Town staff or the chair of the public body at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. That said, to facilitate an efficient public comment period, groups that have multiple speakers with the same viewpoint may consider consolidating their comments or designating one person to speak on their individual behalf’s. F. Disruptive Conduct/Unprotected Speech: Disruptive conduct and engaging in other unprotected speech, including but not limited to the following, may be grounds for the chair of a public body to curtail speech and take other action as appropriate: 1. Speaking without being recognized; 2. Continuing to speak after the chair has curtailed additional verbal comment; 3. Interrupting a recognized speaker; 4. Speaking about matters not within the jurisdiction of the public body; 5. Engaging in conversations while another person is speaking; [PAGE 6] 6. Making true threats of violence directed toward a particular individual; and 7. Making comments inciting imminent lawlessness. G. Public Body Response: 1. A public comment period is a listening session, and the public body is there to listen. The public body, in fact, should not respond to matters raised at the meeting unless they are on the agenda for the same meeting. 2. Matters raised during public comment periods are not required to, and are unlikely to, be addressed or resolved by the public body at the same meeting. Such matters may be appropriately deferred to a noticed-agenda item at a future meeting due to Open Meeting Law considerations. 3. At the sole discretion of the chair of the public body, matters raised during public comment may or may not appear on a future agenda or be referred to the Town Administrator for appropriate action, if any. 4. A public body cannot demand that persons attending meetings or participating in public comment be civil to one another. Nevertheless, the Town, or the members of the public, and those that appear before them are encouraged to make any/or all residents of the Town feel welcome, including listening to them speak, and acknowledging that speakers may have a different viewpoints. Disclaimer: A Public Comment period is not a time for debate or response to comments by the public body. Comments made during the Public Comment period do not reflect the views or the positions of the public body. Because of constitutional free speech principles, the public body does not have the authority to prevent all speech that may be upsetting and/or offensive during the public portion of the meeting. H. Enforcement: Concerns about Public Comment Periods may be brought to the attention of the Town Manager, who will discuss the concerns with the chair of the public body, and take appropriate action. Failure to comply with this Policy may be deemed a violation of the Town’s Code of Conduct, and grounds for the removal of an appointed official.

Date 4/15/2026 Staff Erika D. Mooney, Operations Administrator Subject Request for Review and Potential Approval of Amendments to Select Board Committee Appointment Process Executive Summary The Select Board adopted its Committee Appointment Process in 2021. The process includes rigid deadlines and advertising requirements. Upon drafting this year’s Committee Appointments Timeline, staff felt the process needed to be updated to give more flexibility. The two proposed amendments include: 1.Change the advertising of the openings from a “local newspaper” to “any print and/or electronic media, having general circulation within the Town of Nantucket”. This change brings the advertising requirement in line with Town Bylaw Chapter 2, Administrative Procedures, § 2-1(A), Public hearing required; manner of notice, which was updated pursuant to the vote on Article 85 of the 2025 Annual Town Meeting. 2.Update the date when the Select Board makes its appointments, from its last meeting in June to “at a June meeting…” This will allow new appointees more time to be sworn in, do Open Meeting and Conflict of Interest Law trainings, and connect with their committees to understand meeting schedules. Staff Recommendation Approve the recommended amendments/ Background/Discussion N/A Impact: Environmental ☐ Fiscal ☐ Community☐ Other☐ N/A Board/Commission Recommendation N/A Public Outreach N/A [PAGE 118] Connection to Existing Applicable Plan (i.e., Strategic Plan, Master Plan, etc.) N/A Attachments Committee Appointment Process -redlined [PAGE 119] NANTUCKET SELECT BOARD Policy Statement and Procedures for Appointments to Committees, Commissions, Boards Adopted: May 19, 2021 BASIC GOAL To encourage active citizen participation and involvement in local government affairs by encouraging local residents with expertise, skills, interest, and energy to seek appointment to the Town’s Committees, Boards and Commissions.

The Alternative Access PlanAAP shall be triggered by (1) road failure or near failure, as certified by a Massachusetts licensed Professional Engineer chosen by the Town Manager, or (2) SBPF dissolving as an entity, or (3) enforcement orders from the Conservation Commission or other applicable agencies requiring removal of the geotubes, with 90 daysdays’ notice and a right to cure within those 90 days. 21.

The Town’s entering into this license agreementLicense Agreement is not evidence of any admission of liability on the part of the Town in its actions or inactions with respect to the actual or potential erosion of Baxter Road and surrounding properties (“Erosion Related Claims”), and the Benefitted Owners’ waiver of any rights to sue the Town for Erosion Related Claims which may have accrued or arisen prior to execution of this License. 22.

Brenizer Michelle Carvin I am writing to provide, in writing, comments that I made at your meeting on April 1, Lucy Dillon 2026, regarding the Draft License Terms For Use of Town Property at Baxter Road for Erosion Thomas V. Farrell Control Project. We appreciate the Town’s effort to negotiate terms that address the best Robert Friedman Nancy Gillespie interests of the Town regarding a project with so many moving parts and unresolved Matt Haffenreffer questions. We do have several concerns that we wanted to raise with you before you Evan Jones vote to agree to these terms and sign the license. Charles A. Kilvert III Keltie Donelan McDonald Alan Nathan 1. First, Paragraph 3 requires the creation of an escrow to ensure that funds remain Helen Weeks Peterson available should the Town need to undertake removal of the system, and/or to Charles Platt Amy Rowland provide adequate mitigation sand for up to a year. Section (f) of this Paragraph Carl H. Sjolund then goes on to stipulate that in the event the Town seeks to retain the geotubes H. Brooks Smith in the future (which will clearly require significant funding to maintain) the Lars Soderberg David Troast escrow for mitigation sand shall still be fully refunded to SBPF. Director Emeritus Paul A. Bennett This is extremely puzzling because if the geotubes are not to be removed but are Susan E. Robinson to be managed and maintained by the Town, they will presumably still be benefiting Associates SBPF and their members, and the cost to the Town and community will be significant. Jen Garran Chair Why would the Town agree to surrender this important funding when it is needed William Johnson most? This should be amended to allow the town to retain the single years’ worth of Chad Kilvert Helen Weeks Peterson mitigation if they should ever choose to take over management of the structure. Margaret Troast Scientific Advisor 2. Second, Paragraph 19 seeks “to obtain” several items that are important to the James W. Sutherland, Ph.D. success of the Town’s Baxter Road Alternative Access Plan. Included in this list Staff are “springing easements” over identified properties that will be impacted by the Emily Molden alternative access. These springing easements, to the best of our knowledge, were Executive Director Michelle Whelan requirements of the Town’s MOU with SBPF in 2013, and again in 2022 along Development Director with hold harmless agreements. These were all to be held in escrow until the RJ Turcotte Conservation Commission approved the expansion project. Nantucket Waterkeeper Willa Arsenault Environ. Program The Conservation Commission has long since approved the expansion project, and so Coordinator these should have been released from escrow. The question is, why does the new Jacob Gardner Williams Operations Manager license seek “to obtain” springing easements which were a requirement of prior MOUs? Has this past requirement not been met? Dennis A. Murphy General Counsel We Pay Attention • We Raise Awareness • We Take Action [PAGE 133] 3. Paragraph 22 opens up a proverbial can of worms and leaves the public with many questions. What does it mean for the Town to be “supportive and provide its best efforts” in the event of an application for the mining of offshore sand? We have no information about where this may take place, what the environmental, financial, or logistical implications would be for the island and community. This matter would be better addressed at a future time when there is more information available. We would request that the Select Board strike Paragraph 22 in its entirety before signing this license. 4. Finally, before considering the signing of a new license with SBPF, we formally request an accounting of the requirements from prior legal agreements (MOUs) with SBPF from Town Counsel with an understanding of whether they have been properly adhered to. We are looking for further transparency around SBPF’s accountability for their past agreements with the Town before entering into yet another. If prior conditions have not been met, they should be required prior to signing a new license. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. 2 Fairgrounds Road Nantucket, MA 508.325.7587 508.228.7298 facsimile [PAGE 143] is very clear to her that if the Town does not construct a new facility, it will have to ultimately close the facility. She said she might be able to support another effort at the 2026 annual town meeting if it is made clear to the voters that if it fails, closure is the next step. Chair Hill said she supports going back to town meeting because of the 2025 successful ballot vote. She said she agreed with Ms. Mohr that a “no” vote means closure. Mr. Fee concurred with Mr. Dixon and commented on the future of health care costs. He said he might be able to support one last try at town meeting. Mr. Fee asked if there is a staff recommendation. Ms. Gibson stated that she concurs it is a difficult decision and from a Town Administration perspective, it does not make financial sense. Discussion followed as to how to proceed, including timing of bid results. Mr. Sears suggested engaging a professional pro forma analysis of a smaller facility to provide cost projections in out years. Some discussion followed. Chair Hill suggested continuing this discussion at next week’s meeting. Ms. Mohr moved to re-agenda this matter to next week; seconded by Mr. Dixon; all in favor, so voted. Mr. Giorgio suggested including wording on next week’s agenda to indicate a potential vote for closure. Ms. Mohr left the table at 9:04 PM. 3. Traffic Safety Recommendations.

Dr. MacNab moved approval; seconded by Ms. Mohr; all in favor, so voted. - Waitt Drive – add No Parking yellow lines along both sides of Waitt Drive between Amelia Drive and Ticcoma Way, except along the 52-space section of current head-in parking on the northwest side of the roadway.
