Thanks, guys. Um Karen is going to uh give us a little update on the Northfield Point work.
In
Out
2:19
Yes, the Northfield Point site improvements, which is the final phase of work out at our favorite spit of land. Um that is going to start on July 13th. Um Tim's going to be mobilized for that. And then we are going to have a pre-construction meeting the next day on the 14th at 10:00 a.m. Tim's um currently in the submittal process and the invasive Crawford um land management was out there last week and they did a
In
Out
2:48
full site walk through and did um a an herbicide treatment on the um uh any emerging invasives. and they'll be out again um in July for another um walkth through and treat accordingly. So, we should um Tim's going to also make sure Tim Dilva is going to make sure that the fence is all really um tightened up for the 4th of July so that hopefully we can keep people to a minimum.
In
Out
3:18
Yeah, he's going to get out there and fix that. And then um I've also um talked to the um the cops who are going to be out on the 4th of July and they're going to be mindful too of um trying to keep people off that pro that part of the um property. So hopefully um everyone will just celebrate accordingly and have fun.
In
Out
3:36
Yeah. Just um maybe for the people at home, we know what the improvements are, but maybe just go over them one more time. Oh, so um the improvements are the aggregate walkway that's going to go all around the um it's going to go down the center of the um the spit and then it's going to go along the um perimeter of that kind of triangle area and then there'll be um solar ballards along the
In
Out
3:59
path. They will be um landscaping um and where um all the granite that's going to be used for benches and seat and seating along kind of the pathway and around the the outdoor classroom area is already on site. Um and it's all repurposed um Fall River granite. So that's cool. And then um in the center of that triangle area, there is going to be a a grass area that
In
Out
4:25
we're kind of referring to as a um open outdoor classroom and there'll be some benches along the perimeter of that and we're hoping that um Mass Audabon trustes of the reservation will do some you know outdoor class stuff out there.
In
Out
4:39
So um that is um all the work that's going to clean up that portion. Contract cost for that was 440 and that was 67 that was funded how seapport economic council Karen we we are doing the osprey nest right yes the osprey yep osprey nest as well yes and actually Tim found a guy exactly across the river Pierce and Engineering he's going to submit from that guy who makes the Osprey nest so um and he said
In
Out
5:11
it's a great site for it so he's got a proposal from him so it's a local guy who needs them. So, and completion date completion date um we have set for October 1st, I believe.
In
Out
5:26
Excellent.
In
Out
5:27
Is that including the bigies or dingy?
In
Out
5:29
No, that's a separate that's a separate contract. That's my next topic of conversation.
In
Out
5:36
So, do we shut that down after October that area or they can use it all year round?
In
Out
5:41
It'll be No, it'll be able to be accessed year round. So, um, um, that'll be the first time.
In
Out
5:49
The question is when we actually open it to the public because we have to see how established plants are and stuff and things like that. So, we'll have to play that. Um, we should be we should be planting at the preferred time of the year and getting, you know, grasses done at the preferred time of the year, too.
In
Out
6:04
So, hopefully that will all um allow for um a good growth.
In
Out
6:11
I think that's the first time that's going to be accessed in 20 years.
In
Out
6:16
Oh, I bet you more than that.
In
Out
6:17
More than that.
In
Out
6:19
I'm going to say more than that.
In
Out
6:20
20 plus years. So section of that waterfront's going completely closed off to the public.
In
Out
6:25
Yeah.
In
Out
6:25
So now the public Y has to be we got to get some exposure on that.
In
Out
6:33
Maybe I'm have a groundbreaking or something.
In
Out
6:37
Yeah, we need to think about a ground breaking. see what council down or whomever and you just a little ceremony.
In
Out
6:43
I think it's just important that the public's aware of it.
In
Out
6:46
Yeah. And what we're doing. Yeah. Yeah.
In
Out
6:47
Exactly.
In
Out
6:50
Goes hand in hand with everything else going on.
In
Out
6:53
Yeah.
In
Out
6:53
Might be a tough time of the year with on vacations and stuff, but for those who can make it.
In
Out
6:59
Yeah.
In
Out
7:02
Karen, did you say that was the 14th the meeting for construction? Yes. At 10:00.
In
Out
7:11
Um, you going to talk about dingy docks?
In
Out
7:13
Yeah, moorings in the dinghyd dock. So, um, that is uh getting ready to go to to hit the streets. Um, the bid package should be to us hopefully shortly, very soon today. Um, the bid is going to be open to the public July 1st. The bids are due July 16th at 2 PM and um we'll be bringing it to the July board meeting, the lowest responsible bidder and that's to put the new dinghy dock
In
Out
7:41
and transition piece um at the existing um docks at uh city pier and then we'll also be putting in 15 moorings between the three moing fields that are out there. So we do have a concern. We're showing the completion date for that job of December 1st. We're concerned that the timing of the bid for this is when most dock manufacturing is at its peak and this really isn't a big chunk of
In
Out
8:12
dock to have someone really kind of fit into a schedule. So, we may be at the mercy of some of the manufacturers um for this. So, we're going to um hopefully um hear more about it. When I had um talked to um a gentleman actually it was for the previous bid um for the for the Northfield point the highest bidder had somehow included in his bid the dock work and so when the guy called and had
In
Out
8:41
questions about the docks I'm like this job doesn't have any docks and so anyway but I told him I said so I have you on the phone I said how are you guys running if we wanted to put a 60 x10 foot dock in when would you see when would um how long would it take to do that? He's like, "Oh, six months." And I said "Oh okay."
In
Out
9:00
But he was from California.
In
Out
9:01
He was He was from Washington State, actually. But I mean, it's also too, I mean, they say that until you can actually put on a purchase order is when you really get these guys down and dirty. Yeah.
In
Out
9:10
I think the the real I don't think the pilings are the issue. I think No, the pilings aren't because I actually there's um there's some known sources in the area that I mean, we only need three. So, um it's more going to be the um the manufacturing of the dock.
In
Out
9:27
So hopefully the other ones from Canada structure. Yeah. The Yeah. So, we can't this is this is a federal grant. So, we have to do the the Baba. So, we're going to have um the the the project spec is written around Structure Marine, but um they're Canadian firm.
In
Out
9:48
Did you say that December 1st was the completion?
In
Out
9:50
Yeah.
In
Out
9:51
I mean, we would probably get based on the um the lowest responsible bidder that we're going to bring to the July meeting, we would do a notice to proceed right away after that.
In
Out
10:01
So, the only thing I'm thinking if there's a long lead time with the manufactured dock and you wanted to take advantage of it this fall, maybe have a project change order for a wooden dock, a temporary wooden dock. I think it's all we're all going to just have to see what happens as as it's not that big but 16 feet.
In
Out
10:21
It's 60 by 10.
In
Out
10:23
60 I mean 60. So it's not that big. You can you can easily construct a temporary one if necessary.
In
Out
10:30
But the way this is going in, people really aren't going to be using it this boating season.
In
Out
10:39
Well, you could if it if there's the if the pylons are ready. You drive the pylons and you just attach the dock.
In
Out
10:47
Yeah. But we're not even getting the answer to July meeting. So no way. I mean, you may get them in in August if you're lucky. September is probably a better chance.
In
Out
10:57
Voting season goes through.
In
Out
10:59
Yeah. October 15th, but a temporary one for a month and a half doesn't make sense.
In
Out
11:04
I don't like that. I'm not wasting that money.
In
Out
11:06
Shot change, but whatever.
In
Out
11:09
Yeah. I mean, you know, we were just kind of at the mercy of when we got the contract from them. So, I mean, it's, you know, ultimately this would have been great to have started September, October last year, but we're not there.
In
Out
11:21
Um, so the So, I'll keep you posted on that.
In
Out
11:25
Do you want to talk about the Bay Coast event?
In
Out
11:28
Uh, yes. So, I was just going to give you an event update. So, we had our first big private event out there, the South Coast Health um 30-year gala. Um, it everybody, according to South Coast Health and the people who were there, they thought it was great. I have a debriefing meeting tomorrow with their um their event coordinator just to kind of go through the process like how they
In
Out
11:50
thought everything went, what could have been better, what you know what could we have done better, what could they have done better. There were some you know tight permitting issues at the end where I don't think they in trying to coordinate some of the final things that they really understood that who had to be where and who had to get what permit. So, um, that might be something that, you know, needs to get
In
Out
12:13
more clarified, I guess. Um, and then, uh, we had kite night on June 18th, which, um, started off okay, but, I didn't go, but I there was very windy and they had to shut it down because the kite material because, you know, you build your own little kite and that was kind of getting kind of blown all over the place. So, they shut it down a little early, but I guess it was well
In
Out
12:36
attended. We didn't shut kite night down.
In
Out
12:39
No, you just shut the kite down.
In
Out
12:40
Shut down making kites.
In
Out
12:42
Yes.
In
Out
12:42
Yeah.
In
Out
12:43
So, um and now um Bay Coast Bank wants to um have their 175 year celebration of community banking on August 8th. Um the application was in your um uh board package. It is um going to be it's going to be pretty much identical to the Narrows concert that's out there because um Patrick from the Narrows is getting the band. He's doing all the logistics for the setup and everything. So, I'm
In
Out
13:16
not even really too concerned about the setup out there. Um the layout was part of the application and it's a public event, so we don't have to worry about um uh it's already being advertised. Yeah.
In
Out
13:32
Yeah. That's that's that's Patrick.
In
Out
13:35
You may not want to reject the application.
In
Out
13:39
Um in fact, Rebecca called me today to ask if it was approved. She's from the bank and I said, "Well, I have our board meeting tonight." Um the only thing on the layout that I did um point out to her was they show this VIP section in the middle of the walkways and I told her that again, no walkways can be blocked during the event. She said, "No, no, no." She says, "We'll make sure to
In
Out
13:59
accommodate that." So, um they did um they did confirm that they have police set aside to be out there and the police did confirm that they do have the police out there. They haven't started down their total permit process yet just because, you know, they want to know that the events approved. So, um so then, um their layout is pretty much identical to the Narrows concert that they have every year. So,
In
Out
14:27
um there's nothing that's um of concern and I'll have the irrigation guy out to um flag all the um heads and everything.
In
Out
14:36
So, we should be in good shape with that.
In
Out
14:38
So, Karen, this says um they anticipate 2,000 people. Do we know I missed I was away when the um South Coast went. Do we know how many people came to that?
In
Out
14:49
Um they were anticipating I think not 2,000.
In
Out
14:53
No, no, no. They they was it was a private event. I think they were saying 450.
In
Out
14:57
Yeah. $300 a ticket.
In
Out
15:00
350.
In
Out
15:01
350.
In
Out
15:02
350. Yeah. So I think it and I think they had sold that many tickets. I'm not actually sure how many showed up in comparison.
In
Out
15:11
Capacity for that area. Is there a capacity?
In
Out
15:13
I don't know if they're really for the entire pier. You could easily fit 2,000 people.
In
Out
15:20
Oh god. Yeah.
In
Out
15:20
It's like four acres I think. Yeah.
In
Out
15:22
Yeah. So isn't it's not like it's inside we can only have so many people per thing.
In
Out
15:27
Outside it's kind of like less open.
In
Out
15:30
A lot of people bring their chairs.
In
Out
15:31
They'll sit they don't have to sit directly in front of the stage. They can sit off to the to the southern pier as well.
In
Out
15:38
So South Coast left a good and this one sounds like they stop. They set up at 4 and take down at 11 like seven.
In
Out
15:43
Well they do Pat Patrick is Patrick set up and take down is impressive. They set up for one day.
In
Out
15:50
They have a thing for one day and they took it down for one They like they had tents. That was a big tent.
In
Out
15:55
Their biggest thing, too, was all the decor decorative stuff they had to get up. Yeah. So, um and um their tent was a complicated tent. It was a structured tent as opposed to just, you know, post and um which you can't stake. So, it's weight. So, he brought out big huge concrete blocks with um um pull hook on it and it was pretty impressive. But um one night two days later there was an
In
Out
16:20
orange flag in the middle of the thing.
In
Out
16:22
Something go wrong or something? Did something break?
In
Out
16:24
Orange flag in the middle like like a little like a little golf flag about this big with a big orange flag on it. As I drove by meant to go back there.
In
Out
16:30
Was it one of the irrigation head flags?
In
Out
16:33
It could have been I don't know. I was going by myself.
In
Out
16:35
They were orange. So I mean it could have just been that. It was just for the irrigation.
In
Out
16:39
I just wonder if something happened and that's why they No, actually everything just you just flattened. I was pleasantly surprised that nothing happened because they were driving all over the heads.
In
Out
16:50
Yeah. Okay.
In
Out
16:51
Karen, do you do you collect the certificates of insurance from vendors that are um I don't collect this. I should take the the certificate of insurance from the event um uh the event applicant and then when they get the permits the vendors do that with the city.
In
Out
17:09
So for like the liquor liability for an event like this falls on the event. It falls on the event. Um are they naming the Fall River redevelopment as additional?
In
Out
17:20
Yes. Yes, they are.
In
Out
17:22
Yep.
In
Out
17:23
Are they going to be doing liquor for this one?
In
Out
17:25
Yes. I think it's um uh Primo and Primo. So Primo usually carries that one of those universal catering licenses that for one day he can use sadly as his own liability.
In
Out
17:43
It's Primo Katy. Yeah, it's not Troy City. It's Kant Heat.
In
Out
17:48
Same thing with Kante.
In
Out
17:52
Um and they have a rain date of August 9th, which shouldn't be there's nothing that backs up against that. So, if that was the case, that should work out.
In
Out
18:03
Do we know who the Entertainment is?
In
Out
18:05
Uh I do not. It is a band that Patrick Do you know who it is, Johnny? By any chance?
In
Out
18:10
Forgot their name. I I do not know who the band is. They did not list the band.
In
Out
18:15
Patrick's had him for a while though.
In
Out
18:17
So Patrick is doing with Big Coast.
In
Out
18:20
Yeah.
In
Out
18:20
Okay. I thought I thought Big Coast was doing one and Patrick was doing one.
In
Out
18:23
Well, Patrick is still doing one. He's doing another one on August 24th.
In
Out
18:27
Something bring it to the river down by the river.
In
Out
18:29
Take me to the river to the river. It's the one he's done every Yeah.
In
Out
18:33
I think it's the 26th 24th.
In
Out
18:35
24th.
In
Out
18:38
So this application, yes, which you guys have, you have a um motion to uh motion to approve the event application form Bay Coast Bank for the community concert celebrating 175 years of community banking to be held on August 9th 2026 or ring date of August 9th at the Norton City Pier to authorize the chair or the executive director to sign a license agreement.
In
Out
19:07
Second.
In
Out
19:08
Second.
In
Out
19:09
John Ericson. Yes.
In
Out
19:11
Anderson. Yes.
In
Out
19:12
Yes.
In
Out
19:13
John. Yes. I need to abstain from that vote.
In
Out
19:18
Okay.
In
Out
19:19
Um Okay. So, next Oh, Cathotic Protection.
In
Out
19:24
We're at our one year, believe it or not.
In
Out
19:26
Yes. Our one-year warranty ends on July 31st. So, um, this is kind of an not an odd situation, but since everything is underwater, we can't really verify that.
In
Out
19:37
You can't just say, "Oh, looks good." I mean you can but um so uh what I've done is I've talked to FA Engineering and we have um got a proposal to have the cathotic engineer go out and um do his um all his measures and everything to check show to ensure that the connectivity is all still there and that it's doing its job. Um, and then we've got the underwater inspection by um, uh,
In
Out
20:08
Ward and his crew that, um, did the, um, punch list inspection. So, it's the same guys that are going out and they're going to, uh, make sure that all the anodess are still in place and, um, that uh, there hasn't been too much degra.
In
Out
20:23
He'll take some random measures to make sure there hasn't been too much degradation in a year. Um, and the Carlos will be the top guy. The engineer will be the top guy while the divers's down low. I'm going to also reach out to Kavanaaugh to see if they want to be there at the same time. They're the ones who installed them. I mean, you can see like if you're out at the um armpit
In
Out
20:45
at the pier, you can like in the U at like a low enough tide, you can see them that they're all pretty much there. And you can see them along if you walk the dock, you can see that they're all pretty much still there. you can't see it on the south side and out at the tips. Um so I'm fairly confident that they're all going to be there, but um we
In
Out
21:02
just want to make sure. And then um we'll probably have to do it's recommended to do these similar inspections like every five years. So I'm actually working on a kind of an overall maintenance plan to kind of have these triggers put in. It'll be a bulkhead inspection, an anon inspection, and a a cathotic continuity inspection.
In
Out
21:24
So, so, so they'll probably just bring that that like dive barge out there again and um go off of that or Wade um uh when he came out with his crew, they went right off the dock. The barge was Kavanaaugh, right?
In
Out
21:38
Yeah. Um and so I mean he may change it up, but last time when he was out there, they went off the dock.
In
Out
21:45
Isra infrastructure infrastructure and environmental LLC two different companies. No.
In
Out
21:54
Oh, they're the same company. Some like this and like two different companies.
In
Out
21:58
So, the total cost is 15,000.
In
Out
22:00
Yeah. Not to exceed because um you know they put in some admin hours and they'll just bill them out but the cost will not exceed 15,000 and this the cost will be covered by the EDI grant that the whole cathotic protection was covered by.
In
Out
22:13
So does what does our warranty cover?
In
Out
22:16
So basically any defects within the anodes.
In
Out
22:20
So if they pick and if it's not and if the con if the connectivity is not there, we'd have to then start looking at the welds and things like that. Have to go back.
In
Out
22:28
Who was the GC for that?
In
Out
22:29
Um cabin on marine.
In
Out
22:31
Okay.
In
Out
22:33
All right. Motion to No. Yeah. Motion to approve the warranty inspection scope report from Far Infrastructure and Environment LLC date 62726 for a cost not to exceed 15,000 and to authorize the chair or the executive director to sign the amendment number three to the original agreement.
In
Out
22:52
Second John yes.
In
Out
22:55
Ron Ren, yes.
In
Out
22:57
Yes.
In
Out
22:58
John Mader, yes, yes.

Out
23:00
Thank you. Uh let's see what we talk about now. Oh. Um Sarah's going to talk about Pleasant Street Flint Herb.
In
Out
23:10
Well, I'll start with um a nice update about the community garden. The community gardeners are so appreciative of the water line and having water. And some of the older women who were out there every day told me that last year they put buckets of um or bottles of water into a grocery cart and dragged it from the senior housing which is a bit of a way down over to the garden. And
In
Out
23:43
even then they struggled at the end of the year to keep everything looking alive. And so I was out there the other day. They have all these um they put uh metal the young Marines have been helping them do this garden. So they have wooden boxes and they have metal boxes and they're just all filled with um lettuce and kale and they just have all different plants. And so they have
In
Out
24:12
some community bins and then people have their own and um they the young marine group put uh the water line into a little cabinet so that they can kind of lock up the water at night. They now have a shed. They have a a fence around it. So a lot of different groups have been uh donating and out there doing work. And so it's really bringing lots of people together and that's the
In
Out
24:44
primary well a key goal is to kind of build community there. So they I just wanted to pass their appreciation on to you. So, do they winterize it somehow or they'll um it'll they'll pull the meter and then they drain the line back.
In
Out
25:04
And they've got a nice hose and it's really wonderful to see. So, I have good news on the uh urban renewal plan front. I had a meeting today with Tori Kim that was facilitated by um Doug Gutro who had come out and met with Ken and I and taken a tour around Fall River and he's often on the conference calls with Mass Inc. that we do the Gateway City uh developers network that I do every
In
Out
25:38
month. And so he had always said if you have problems with permitting and licensing, that's his role to help you through problems. So he set up this meeting with Tori Kim and she said that um we can apply. So so there were all these different options that had been laid out for us. And so now it's clear that what we do is a notice of project change. And in the notice of project
In
Out
26:11
change, you can ask to resend the scope of work that had been outlined in your certificate for an environmental impact report. And so what I've been trying to do is make sure we didn't have to do a full environmental impact report and spend about $20,000 on consultants to do that. And um so we had money set aside by Mass Housing through a grant that we have that we could have used to do that, but
In
Out
26:48
it was supposed to be used to implement the urban renewal plan and the work we want to do. So um so the um that EIR the environmental impact report was extremely detailed and wanted all kinds of analysis and information.
In
Out
27:09
And so even in the notice of project change, she had said that she wants us to do a good faith effort of addressing a lot of the scope that they outlined for the EIR. And so we talked through that and I told her that some of the scope, you know, we we couldn't I really reminded her this is a 20-year plan and some of the detail they wanted we can't possibly give them. So, it's clear that
In
Out
27:46
I can do most of it, pull in the consultants to help with some pieces, but primarily I'm going to say we can't answer that question because, you know, the city doesn't know when Stafford Square $50 million will be raised. And, you know, there are just lots of things that I think we can answer really simply. So, we're asking to resin the scope of the EIR, but we still have to
In
Out
28:14
address a lot of their questions. And I I feel it's a reasonable solution. Um, I think she's open to our calling her staff or her if we have questions and we'll just move through this in the next few weeks and get it done and be done with that and be able to get our urban renewal plan done. So, that was a big relief.
In
Out
28:42
Um, so that's good.
In
Out
28:45
It is.
In
Out
28:46
That's real good.
In
Out
28:50
Um, so then the other thing that uh was in your packet is that we got and I know I wrote board members when we got this $200,000 grant, we were notified that um uh we would get a municipal tribal technical assistance grant, MTTA, for um design of a preliminary minary design of streetscape for Pleasant Street. And so this is really good news because um the city's going to put a lot of money into
In
Out
29:31
the um construction of Pleasant Street and we have the 1.7 million in federal money. And because we had gotten federal money, we qualified for this kind of new technical assistance program. And so I just want um a vote that we're accepting this grant and I'll be signing a docu sign form to um sign the contract and we'll move forward.
In
Out
30:04
Okay. So, we have a motion to accept a $200,000 MTA grant for hiring consultant to provide pre-construction services for streetscape infrastructure along Pleasant Street and have our executive director sign a contract.
In
Out
30:19
Second, second Ericson. Yes.

In
Out
30:26
And Keen, yes.
In
Out
30:27
Thank you. Uh Sarah's going to talk about uh NMA updates.
In
Out
30:34
So, um, we have a jazz festival coming up that the Bristol Oh dear, I'm sorry.
In
Out
30:44
that the Bristol Black Collective is um sponsoring at um the Purchase Street Plaza. That is um part of their Junth celebration for the month and um something that NMA had really encouraged them to do. And it was originally envisioned to be a bit bigger, but they have a nice band and it sounds like they do a variety of jazz um and blues, I think. And so it's a little um festival
In
Out
31:21
on the plaza and um I'm sending this.
In
Out
31:26
It starts at 5, right?
In
Out
31:27
Starts at 5.
In
Out
31:28
What day?
In
Out
31:29
Uh Saturday night.
In
Out
31:30
This Saturday night.
In
Out
31:31
Yep.
In
Out
31:31
Okay.
In
Out
31:32
When we say the plaza, is that the parking lot for the Eagle or Oh, I'm sorry. Um, Joseph Holderman uh took an old parking lot that was part of a bank drive up window and turned it into a plaza. You must have seen it.
In
Out
31:51
It's He's got parking around it.
In
Out
31:53
Yeah.
In
Out
31:54
And then that's where the uh cultural not the cultural lives that's considered the plaza right there.
In
Out
32:01
Okay.
In
Out
32:02
We called that the purchase street plaza. Has foon lighting at night and fire pits and um seating. And so that's where a variety of things happen.
In
Out
32:16
Now that changes a different company there now. There's a girl there now, right?
In
Out
32:19
Yeah. It's um it's really a vintage store.
In
Out
32:22
Vintage. Yeah. Yeah.
In
Out
32:24
Yeah. And she has been doing interesting fashion for years. And so she kind of has interesting uh fashions that are um they're unique.
In
Out
32:40
They're based on taking uh existing fabrics and clothes and repurposing them. For example, she had one that was um a lot of shirts that had been reputed together. And um she has models model them. They're kind of cool.
In
Out
32:59
So, and but she has all kinds of she's calling it Miltown Market and she's celebrating the history of Fall River Mills. And so, she's had some really unique things in there like um old uh um journals from some of the mills that someone found. And, you know, she just has really interesting things. And there's a wonderful spirit in there. She got a big leather sofa so you can go in
In
Out
33:34
and sit on her leather leather leather sofa. She has a little um uh refrigerator and gives you free water and it's um and then you look out on the plaza. So, it's kind of a nice relaxing place and I think it really adds to the feeling of downtown being a place you want to go and you can take your coffee over to the plaza. You know, you can go to all the restaurants and bring your
In
Out
34:05
food over there and there are tables um to you know, picnic table kind of tables. Is that building connected to where uh what's the coffee shop over there in Baloa?
In
Out
34:17
All one connection.
In
Out
34:18
Yeah, it's one building. Yeah, it's owned by Well, they're kind of different buildings.
In
Out
34:23
Buildings.
In
Out
34:23
Yeah, they're different buildings.
In
Out
34:24
Baloa is 10 purchase street, but the back side of that building is actually the United Way building at 30, right?
In
Out
34:35
The United Way building.
In
Out
34:37
So, those are detached.
In
Out
34:40
They used to drive through a bank of four who was in the front which was 30.
In
Out
34:44
Okay.
In
Out
34:45
So what connects them is they're owned by the same person and there's hardly any space between them. They're very close together.
In
Out
34:57
Um, so the other good news is that we'd been looking for a fiscal sponsor for NMA and um, we had thought we were going to use the Bristol Black Collective. Um, but their administrative fee, which we understand was a little higher than we wanted to have taken out of the funds that we raise. And so it turned out that we had an offer from uh the first congregational church and their
In
Out
35:29
minister, Reverend Andy Stinson, and he considers himself part of NMA and the church in the NMA district. And so he said, "I would love to be your fiscal sponsor. We won't charge anything. I've done this a lot with a lot of different groups. We have a fund set up for it."
In
Out
35:48
And so um so we're going to um go ahead and use that as our fiscal sponsor. And we're um next, you know, we're starting to get the steering committee or organized. It's getting more and more organized. Um we'll be voting on a mission statement.
In
Out
36:11
um and we're kind of working toward John Coughlin who's offered to help us um to put together a nonprofit and get that uh incorporated in the state and then we'll have to think about do we become a 501c3 or do we just keep using a fiscal sponsor for a while which is kind of typical.
In
Out
36:36
So, I think that's um Oh, and then we're we have a opportunity with the Southeast Visitors Bureau, the South Coast Visitors Bureau to um they've set aside $4,000 for NMA to use in marketing and we have to match it with $6,000 and we have people who've offered to donate that, but we're really in a quandry at the moment of do we really need $10,000 for um marketing over this next year? And um
In
Out
37:25
you know, we've already had some events that could have been marketed better. Um we're putting everything on Facebook and that works pretty well. So, that's what we're having to decide over the next uh week or two because it all has to be tied up by the end of the state fiscal year.
In
Out
37:48
And so we have a num NMA has a number of events coming up um like Thanksm there's a night market there's a harvest market and oh and also there's a horror festival is that what it's called um there in October there's a group bringing films to have a film festival for Halloween and it will be in a number of places. One being the police athletic league building will have some the plaza
In
Out
38:26
will have some outdoors and um so so the question is how much money do we want to set aside for marketing and that will um determine how much we get contributed by the Southeast Visitors Bureau. Do those events qualify as PSAs?
In
Out
38:52
What do you mean public service announcements?
In
Out
38:54
Oh, do they qualify for them?
In
Out
38:57
Yeah.
In
Out
38:57
Because that's free, right?
In
Out
38:59
Right. So, I don't know.
In
Out
39:02
I don't know if they qualify. I think they would because they're community oriented.
In
Out
39:05
Yeah.
In
Out
39:06
Right.
In
Out
39:07
So, you probably can get radio, maybe some cable, maybe some uh hell and maybe like maybe channel 10 or 12. They usually have like community events or something like that.
In
Out
39:18
Yeah. I think the key there is we've got to get people organized to get it out to all of those.
In
Out
39:23
Yeah, that's pretty easy.
In
Out
39:25
Yeah.
In
Out
39:25
Yeah. Somebody somebody's just got to reach put some together and reach out to them.
In
Out
39:29
Right.
In
Out
39:33
So that's the NMA update.
In
Out
39:38
Okay. Uh if there's no further matters for the open session, the chair makes finding that open session would have a detrimental effect on negotiating position of the public body. The purpose of the executive session is to approve the executive session minutes for May 19th, 2026 and discuss strategy with respect to potential real estate transactions for properties located at 45 Anowan Street, Fall River, and the
In
Out
39:57
Dval Street Corridor, Fall River. I'll entertain a motion to enter into executive session and we will not return to open session.
In
Out
40:06
Motion to enter executive session and we will not return to open session.
In
Out
40:10
