Strategy
To ensure transparency and the spirit of a collaborative, community based process
focused on coastal access and management, with the goals of building climate resiliency,
protecting natural resources and managing peak summer demand on our beaches, we
recommend that a protocol be established to ensure public engagement in the design and
implementation of any coastal projects in progress or to be undertaken in the future by the
Board of Selectmen.
This protocol should, at a minimum, require reasonable, advance public notice of all
meetings and negotiations where plans for coastal projects are being designed, discussed
and/or presented. This protocol would require the designation of a ‘citizens coastal
liaison committee’ (CCLC) to work hand in hand with the Board of Selectmen to plan,
design and implement coastal access and management projects.
Plan: Explore with the BCAG appropriate protocols, i.e., appropriate notice could
include, but not be limited to, advertisement for consecutive weeks in local newspapers,
postings in public places and due notice on the Town of Brewster web-site of all meetings
pertaining to the above.
Liaison Committee: The Citizens Coastal Liaison Committee (CCLC) could be proposed
and appointed by the Town (or by the Coastal Committee?) for a period of two years and
going forward be appointed by the Coastal Committee in partnership with the Brewster
Community Network.
(or recommended to the Town to be formally appointed?)
