AGENT’S REPORT
Mosquito Control – The town is now part of the program. Information is available on the website. Sarah will also put it on Facebook. Residents can contact Mosquito Control directly. There is a “do not spray” list. The program has added a new component to the program, tire removal. Tires are the biggest collector (breeding ground) for mosquitos. There was discussion about reminding residents once again in the fall with an informational mailing. Spraying of fields was also talked about. Certain fields are town owned (Parks & Rec) and others by the schools. The board could advise the schools, but it would be up to them to allow or not to allow spraying. Sarah will contact the principals and Dennis will contact Tim Deschamps
for more information.
Mini Grant – Gerry Gleich forwarded an application from the DPH for a grant up to $500. Sarah was informed today that the board will receive $350. The funds will need to be spent by June 30th. Dennis suggested contacting suppliers for free samples. Tina will talk to the drug representatives. Dennis will speak with bank. Sarah spoke with Parks & Rec who will be holding soccer and basketball events. Samples could be left at the games. The Post Office is another option for samples.
Medical Reserve Corps – Dennis explained that the group consists of medical and non-medical people. The Corps is restructuring in an effort to recruit volunteers. Dennis said there is an informational video, which he will provide to Sarah, which could be put on the public access channel.
PLAN REVIEW
396 Cross Street (Tomb) – This is an after-the-fact approval. Dennis said the soil tests were completed and the plan received. An emergency repair was then needed. It was installed according to Title 5 and the Board’s regulations. Approved.
20 Dewey Avenue (Olson Family Estate) – Approved.
599 Main Street (Town of Boylston) – Approved.
Consider Plan Extension for 254 Central Street (Buckingham) – The date still reflects 12/16/08. Dennis would like it re-stamped. Melanie will call Steve Sears in the morning.
