Conversation Starters
Annual Town Election
Polls will be open in the lower level of town hall for in-person voting from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 18. The town hall offices upstairs will remain closed to the public.
Mail-in ballots can be returned to the locked dropbox outside town hall until 7 p.m. on May 18.
Nauset Estuary Joint Meeting
The Eastham and Orleans select boards have scheduled a virtual meeting on May 13 at 6 p.m. to discuss the proposed Nauset Estuary dredging project.
While the Eastham board may vote at that time on whether to sign a second memorandum of understanding that would allow work on the project to continue, they are not required to vote on the issue at the May 13 meeting.
“Everything really depends on our deliberations and talking with each other,” Eastham board chair Jamie Demetri said on May 11.
Leslie Fields of Woods Hole Group is expected to present an update on permitting and on the draft Expanded Environmental Notification Form.
Reappointments
The select board voted at its May 3 meeting to reappoint Sheila Filipowski for a three-year term on the conservation commission and Peter Wade for a three-year term on the finance committee. —Linda Culhane
