Two new municipal gift funds in Aquinnah will support the burial of power lines at the Circle and a new boardwalk over the dunes at Philbin Beach. A similar fund was established in 2013 to support the relocation of the Gay Head Light.

Voters at a special town meeting in November had approved $21,000 in Community Preservation Act funds to bury the power lines, and $30,000 in CPA funds and free cash for the boardwalk. The Aquinnah/Gay Head Community Association has since raised another $6,000 for the boardwalk.

Town administrator Adam Wilson said at the selectmen’s meeting Tuesday that most of the $135,000 required to bury the power lines would come from CPA funds. Community preservation committee chairman Derrill Bazzy has also been working to obtain state funds for the project.

“We’ve been told by Rep. [Timothy] Madden’s office . . . [there] is a pile of money sitting there waiting for these kinds of projects,” Mr. Wilson said, referring to a state fund for storm preparedness and infrastructural development in coastal communities. He added that other projects in town might also qualify for those funds.

Efforts to bury the power lines began several years ago, but gained steam during the Gay Head Light relocation project. This fall, Eversource Energy offered to complete most of the work for a fraction of the expected cost.

The selectmen voted unanimously to establish the new funds.

In other business, the selectmen appointed Jen Burkin as the new associate for the Aquinnah Library, and Mark Barbadoro as the new part-time building inspector.

Mr. Barbadoro is also the full-time building inspector in Oak Bluffs. He plans to hold office hours in Aquinnah on Friday afternoons, along with site inspections as needed. Aquinnah’s former building inspector Jerry Wiener resigned this year.

“You came to our rescue,” selectman Spencer Booker told the new inspector.

Also on Tuesday, Mr. Wilson provided an update on renovations to the Aquinnah town hall campus, which includes the police department and Old Town Hall. Voters at the special town meeting in November appropriated $45,000 for improvements.

Changes at the police station will likely include a new linoleum floor and the conversion of a bathroom into other usable space. Police chief Randhi Belain said he had a general sense of the department’s needs, but a contractor would create a detailed plan.

Mr. Wilson said the plan for town hall includes splitting the selectmen’s office in two and temporarily dividing an office shared by the treasurer and tax collector. Plans call for Mr. Barbadoro to use the tax collector’s office, which would be vacant on Fridays.

Town residents are invited to the annual Christmas party Dec. 23 at the Old Town Hall. Following tradition, Santa Claus will arrive on the Aquinnah fire department’s Engine 321.
