AGENT’S REPORT
Mini Grant Update – Dennis had no luck with the bank. Sarah purchased 177 sunscreen samples, some of which will be distributed at the library and the Town Hall. A questionnaire will be included for feedback.
Mosquito Control – Sarah contacted both principals concerning the spraying of the fields for mosquitoes. She had difficulty reaching a contact person at Timberbrook. Dennis will call Nancy Von Hone who lives there. Sarah will ask Karen Barber for an update on spraying of the Parks & Rec fields. Sarah recently had her yard sprayed. She said they will spray every three weeks, but you must call them before they will do that. She will put this information on the Facebook since most people are probably not aware that you have to call them each time to spray. Dennis suggested putting it in the Banner. He also said that reports should be coming soon.
Dennis updated the members regarding the Townhouse septic. He was told it does not have to go out to bid and is now a public works project. This will save the town a substantial amount of money.
Library – An application was sent to the state with the new water usage. The library came up with a five year average, five days a week, 260 days of use, which calculated to be 356 gallons per day. Dennis is waiting to hear from the state as to whether it meets the code now since they are doubling the size of the flow.
PLAN REVIEW
23 Ridgefield Circle (Lot 15R) Jon Rosenfeld – Approved.
11 Hall Pond Road (Tedford) – 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.
Tina made a motion to adjourn; Sarah seconded; the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
