1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,240 It's also recording. Yeah, okay. Okay. Okay. 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:16,560 Okay, welcome everybody. It is Monday the 17th at 2:33. 3 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:22,800 We have a quorum. Amy is doing important work for main maritime and is not here. 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:28,320 And so I'm calling this meeting to order and we're only thing today is uh 5 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:33,280 general discussions and Robert I thought we could begin by talking about what you 6 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,320 brought up last week. Yeah. Is that good? 7 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,320 Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Um so we had a 8 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,840 uh an interesting discussion last week. So 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,000 we have a lot going on in the town. And you guys have a lot going on in 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:52,320 school. And we kind of get together and we we we 11 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,360 kind of share information, but it's it's it's 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,960 not like um I have to think of a good way to put it. 13 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,199 It's not like we're working out working together on you 14 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,240 know, ways that we can assist you and you ways you can assist us. We Is that 15 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:14,640 Is that a good way of And so we we were just talking about, you know, like some 16 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,960 of the the the strategic planning, the long-term planning that the town is 17 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:25,400 doing, for example, you know, on the waterfront. Um on any grants that we're 18 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:29,000 applying for. Um what else comes to mind, Robert? 19 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:32,400 » Um just um everything housing. 20 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,520 » Yeah, well we we actually said casual. I had a casual We had a very casual 21 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:42,640 discussion about it earlier. But you know, the the the the thought is 22 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:45,360 that that as we're confronting problems for the town, 23 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:51,840 you know, we bring things that are appropriate 24 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:56,560 or to talk about with to to the school and say, "Okay, you know, I mean housing 25 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:02,120 is a perfect is a perfect example. You know, it is as I said to you before, 26 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,320 Frank, it is such a massive problem because 27 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,800 um you know, 28 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Dainitz is losing I think 90% of their staff this week, 29 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:18,160 and luckily Tegan, who was one of your students, is well connected, and Derek's 30 00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:22,440 I mean, Derek's speaking to Tegan, and they're arranging for a bunch 31 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:28,200 of kids to come and work at Dainitz and kind of keep it together until until the 32 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:34,480 school opens this day. But it's it's you know, that that's an example and and I 33 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,360 mean, Craig am I okay to What are we talking about privately? 34 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,680 » Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> So, Craig said there is a possibility 35 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,880 for some dorm space next year. It's a possibility, isn't it? 36 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,520 » Yes. >> And something like that not only helps a 37 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:55,040 business, and in fact helps the whole town. 38 00:02:51,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Because because people want I mean, I people want to come here. Meaning and um 39 00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,440 I use this as just a a small example, you know, I tend to be an ambitious 40 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:11,880 thinker, and if anyone had said to me 41 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,760 that Jacques and the Waterfront would be doing days at 7 8 8 7 8 800 meals, 42 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,440 I would have said it's simply impossible. We're not We're not a busy 43 00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:26,720 that town. But there Well, there was one day I think he did 740 meals. 44 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:32,720 It's just it it it's it's it just shows you that the need is here, the people 45 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:37,480 want it, and if we offer the services, you know, 46 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:41,200 that helps the shops. That helps attract when you when people come to tour the 47 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:45,239 school in the summertime and the in the broader waterfront seems to thrive, 48 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,800 right? Are they going to choose you or Massachusetts? 49 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,080 You know, they're going to say, "Wow, this place is happening, you know?" 50 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,600 You want to do that? >> Yeah, yeah. 51 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,520 So, yeah, we I mean, >> obviously there's a lot you guys do and 52 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:03,200 you don't don't talk about outside and 53 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:08,240 and we don't want to step over any boundaries. We don't want to 54 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,680 um create any strife, but what 55 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,200 but when there are things that we can work on together, for instance on the 56 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,000 comp plan um 57 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:23,000 the economic development group it's it's they've kind of paired their stuff down 58 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,880 to just looking at how can we prepare 59 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:34,960 Casting to take in more families. Right. Or or and and one of the goals um 60 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,720 that happens there too is to have more um 61 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:43,200 more in our main faculty and staff come back to Casting. And I we all know 62 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:48,760 housing is an issue, but um and so if there are ways that maybe 63 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:52,320 sometimes during these meetings we can put something more substantive like 64 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,120 that. I want to get into it and have a really 65 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,360 good discussion. It doesn't mean we're going to work every detail out or get it 66 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,000 done, but it means that we can begin having some really substantive 67 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:08,680 discussions um and get past um our favorites, parking 68 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,120 and truck noise. And and and move into, you know, really 69 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,800 making our relationship a little more cohesive. Does that seem weird 70 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:22,480 » No. No. No. It's right on. I I think at some level um within the within the 71 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,800 public forums, we should probably have a a working session to go through some of 72 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,000 this stuff because we have our limitations, right? We have green space, 73 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:34,200 we have educational space and all those different things. We we're in a mode now 74 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:39,000 where we're going to start upgrading some of our facilities. We can't build 75 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,720 new ones. We all know that. But we can improve what we have. 76 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,400 And physical improvements to some of the some of the things are improvements you 77 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,320 can see, some you can't. Like last last last year we did the windows and just 78 00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,400 huge huge difference. 79 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,520 Big energy savings, building looks like a new building now. And it it looked 80 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,440 pretty tired beforehand. And just a little thing like that. 81 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,640 But we're starting to We've done the windows now in Leavitt Hall. Done the 82 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,840 windows in Flat. And we're working our way working our 83 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,680 way towards there. So, we've been doing small upgrades, but I 84 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,919 think that if we get together and talk talk to housing what what we'd like to 85 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,280 do to our buildings. I think there's a huge opportunity on 86 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,840 the waterfront. So, one of the underlying things for our 87 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:30,440 for our waterfront is I'll say it's easy to say publicly 88 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,560 with the extra dock space, the idea that we can bring in out of town vessels, 89 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,160 things like that that are coming to town. 90 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:42,480 But we need to have someplace more like Camden's got on the waterfront to to 91 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,960 take them in. You know, like like if we had joint facilities, laundry things 92 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,840 like that on the waterfront. And you talk maybe a a joint sailing center 93 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,160 that's with the town and with the school. 94 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,720 Sometimes in the past they've been reticent to do it because their 95 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,240 relationship goes up and down, but um 96 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,440 » I mean it's it's it's a it's a it's a total win-win. I mean, if we had 97 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:09,440 facilities down there that were joint facilities and we were 98 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,600 and we were able to figure out a way to manage it so it's always clean and 99 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,320 organized. Um 100 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,720 you know, we share the expense of that. I mean, 101 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,760 you know, I I I'm going to use this as a small example. I was speaking to a 102 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,240 resident who who just brought his boat up 103 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,600 from from 104 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,840 Delaware. I I forget where he brought his boat up by. And he was telling me 105 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:40,800 about some of the really difficult places that he had to stop along the way 106 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:45,280 to stay overnight or to dock. And he said when he got to Castine it was such 107 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:53,040 a pleasure cuz pulling into our harbor is so easy. And and you know, so if if 108 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:58,200 if Castine became known as one of the best 109 00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:03,720 ports, both for the school and for private individuals, I think that that 110 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:08,160 would go a long way towards our goal of more economic development. That's a you 111 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,440 know, you know, so I think that you know, there and I mean, Craig, we've 112 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,840 talked about the past like I know you're talking about doing something on top of 113 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880 » Payson. >> Payson. What's it called? 114 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,360 » Payson Hall. >> Payson Hall, yeah. 115 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:25,560 Like if if that's done and there's food service and there's people hang out up 116 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:30,560 there and people know, wait a second, I can pull into Castine, 117 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:35,680 I can dock my boat, I can take a shower, I can do my laundry, I can walk up to 118 00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:38,760 Payson Hall, have this great view, have have a nice lunch. I mean, that's a game 119 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,520 changer. >> Yeah. 120 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,320 I think I think that's the stuff. And and for us, 121 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,320 » That's the stuff. >> [laughter] 122 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,680 » Uh, but the I mean, those are the things we upgrade the facilities we've got and 123 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,760 and more mixed usage, you know, same uh, things that we do with the town 124 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,360 right now have been working and it's it's benefiting our benefiting town and 125 00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:04,640 our students and our staff, faculty. Um, the relationship is good because 126 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,560 we're everybody's transparent. We're all trying to do the same right thing 127 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600 together. >> Right. 128 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,480 » So we can do more of that. Tackle the housing issue. 129 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:17,480 Uh, next year we get 120 beds back in Curtis Hall, which be a huge 130 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,360 achievement. Um, Curtis Hall will be done, the pier will be done by 131 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,560 » Are you still Are you still talking about potentially the students live on 132 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,360 the boat? Is that still a possibility? >> Yes. Yeah. 133 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:32,800 That'll be a potential next year. >> So like the So the docks done in March, 134 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,760 the cruise comes back in July. >> Yeah. 135 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,560 » And then we're talking about after that that that year. 136 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,440 » There's a There's a thin potential we might get them on there this winter, but 137 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,640 um probably pretty thin. Just depends on It 138 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,320 depends on a lot of things. Then the gangway system, we're not comfortable 139 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:54,200 um putting people out there this fall, but we know by sure next summer Reed & 140 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,480 Reed will be done and then Nickerson O'Day will be done with the dorms and 141 00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:01,640 we'll be seeing a lot of contractors leaving town. Or we have another 142 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,400 project. Be a nice time to start start my 143 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:10,560 when they all left. Uh but uh you know, both groups have done very very good job 144 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,880 on their projects. Um the 145 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,800 the complaints for either for Nickerson O'Day and 146 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,800 and uh and Reed & Reed have been very very minimal and they've dealt with a I 147 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:24,280 think they've dealt with the bumps and morings here and there, but 148 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,200 uh for a project so intensive, it's been pretty 149 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:33,240 » It has been beyond my I just say my personal expectations of the challenges. 150 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:37,160 It is It has been 10 times easier than I thought. 151 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,720 » It's been really good and um 152 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,360 I will say too, you know, I know you guys have a board that you have to go to 153 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,760 and we have a board that we have to go to, the voters. It's the important one. 154 00:10:45,837 --> 00:10:52,040 » [laughter] >> And um you know, you can't make a lot of 155 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:56,240 promises and things, but I love the idea of having a working session with you 156 00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:02,200 guys now and again to talk about some of these bigger deeper conversations 157 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:06,800 because as you said, you are right now physically constrained in where you can 158 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:11,600 go and what we can have. But if there was an opportunity 159 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:15,600 for the town to reorganize the ordinance and give you more space, you know, is 160 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:19,480 that a conversation we would at some point want to have? 161 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,480 » Yeah, or even give us some flexibility with the space we have. Like, you know, 162 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:28,240 we've talked about like a a dormitory above the Steven Street lot, which is 163 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:32,200 So, if you went up and up there, and then you'd have a mixed, you know, I'm 164 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:37,280 you know, imagine if I had a magic wand, it would be 150 student beds and another 165 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:43,120 you know, 30 beds or two-bedroom apartments that would be workforce. It 166 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:46,480 would be town townsfolk and and our next and probably our faculty who lose their 167 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,400 faculty and give them a chance to get back on their feet. Um 168 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,880 that's a that's a winner.

And that 213 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,760 I don't know. >> On that?

Which is a good for you. I 218 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,360 » No, we're we're addressing those projects of our own currently. 219 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,640 » Exactly. >> And Curtis also as Peter Peter was here, 220 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:03,520 he said we're at the point where the projects picked us, we didn't pick them. 221 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:07,200 » What? We're we're we're I would say that when we meet when we get the report when 222 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,680 we get the updated report from Sabina or her, I'm sure at this point they're 223 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:15,040 going to say you know, this these these projects are 224 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:20,120 bright red.
