Multiple options were discussed, and the Board agreed to finalize their decision at the March 23rd meeting. Trustee Meeting Minutes March 23, 2021 Page 5 Discussion ensued on the options and the following decisions were made and public Lynn Kirchner, Amore Real Estate, stated that the Board has worked hard on this issue and has received lots of public input. The rodeo should be considered when closing Main Street on Thursday nights. It's not easy to turn on to 2nd street when you are towing a horse trailer. She asked the Board to consider handicap parking. She asked The majority of the Board agreed that Main Street between 3rd and 4th Streets Andreas Fischbacher, Allegria, stated ideally, he would like the street to close at 4 p.m. and stay open until 10:30 p.m. as it takes a lot of time to set up/break down. Jay stated his expectation is that Town staff will not be responsible for the street closure and re- opening. Staff leaves at 3:30 p.m. and last year the Town had CARES Act funding to pay for overtime.

The majority of the Board agreed that Main Street between 3rd and 4th Streets would be closed, and street side dining (including decking) would be permitted, Andreas Fishbacher suggested allowing street side dining beginning in mid-April. He doubts restaurants will be able to return to full capacity. A large percentage of residents favor the closure. The Board needs to think about the social and cultural impacts restaurants provide. Cathy stated that most of the restaurants have not applied for a modification of premises. It's unlikely that they would receive the State's approval by Amy Charters stated that closing the street from Memorial Day to Labor Day would be great - it's high season. She said that it's hard to hear from restaurants that this is comments received: what happens in inclement weather?
