AGENT’S REPORT
Regionalization – The letter of support was sent for the Planning Grant. The Board of Selectmen also sent a letter of support. It is a $150,000 five year declining grant, with year five expected to be self-sufficient. At this time, it is not known how many communities will be participating. Once awarded, subcommittees will be created and a consultant will be hired. There are numerous questions that will need to be answered and explored such as priorities, cost savings and efficiency, regulations and how they will be affected. Boards of Health will have to sign on to the program if it is implemented. It is uncertain if a town can opt out. Dennis will keep the Board informed.
Compass Pointe Septic Systems – Dennis presented the Board with a draft policy and procedures for septic systems and component inspections and certificate of compliance for review. Because he is not in the office full time, Dennis would like all installers/applicants to receive this when applying for a permit to let them know what is expected, primarily inspection scheduling. Other towns have similar policies. Due to inclement weather and the current installer’s provisional permit, Dennis said he has been spending considerable time accommodating them to sign off for closings. With regard to the $75.00 re-inspection fee per item, Dennis spoke with Nancy Colbert Puff (Town Administrator) who said there should be one in place. The Board was fine with the policy.
