Correspondence was reviewed.

A letter was received from John Swinerton regarding a Title V on 2 and 4 Boulder Way.  Dennis will respond to it.

Lombardi (250 Cross Street) Declaration of Covenants Document – Correspondence was received from Judy Pickett.  The plans still need to be revised.  It is near completion.  Ron Aspero attended with questions on the septic and asked about two separate pumping chambers coming out of the back of the house.  Dennis told him the flows need to be equalized.

AGENT’S REPORT

Emergency Preparedness (Exercise Planning) – Dennis spoke with the state today.  If a clinic is scheduled the last week of November or first week of December, he thinks we may have enough vaccine.  The supply is good this year.  Participating in other types of clinics/drills was discussed.  The cost for town personnel and school janitor could be up to $1,500.  If we have to purchase the flu vaccine, there would be an additional cost.  It was decided to run two clinics: one for seniors and another for all residents in town.  It will need to be publicized (Banner and cable), and volunteers will be needed.  Dennis will firm up a date with the school and provide further information at the next meeting.

Mosquito Control – Correspondence was received from the Central Mass Project stating dates that they will be in community.  It will be sent to the Banner for publication and also put on the website.

Tim Sullivan (410 Central Street) Septic Location – The plan was approved about four years ago.  It was for one lot and one existing system.  Lot lines were drawn to make it into two lots.  An ANR plan was approved by the Planning Board, giving him clearance for a septic system, but the plan was never recorded.   It will need to be referred to Town Counsel.

Longley Hill – Dennis showed photos of the area.  A letter will be sent to Mr. Ali concerning it being a public hazard.

Stiles Road – Three permits were applied for, but not issued, due to Mr. Venincasa owing monies to various town departments.  Dennis said that an installer had started work but he had him fill in the hole and stop work.

2008 Camps – Dennis said we need to make sure the Board knows what camps are being held and issue the appropriate permits.  There were soccer camps held this year that the Board was unaware of.

Dennis will attend the Selectmen’s meeting on Monday concerning quarterly updates.
