AGENT’S REPORT

Tahanto Update – CTA is looking for a sign off from the board for a final Certificate of Occupancy.  Dennis emailed them today telling them what is needed (as-builts, Operation & Maintenance plan, etc.).  He said they need to report a squirt test to DEP and the board annually.  He will also inform them they need to remove the garbage grinders.  

Verizon – Several complaints were received regarding the septic.  Dennis explained to the board that they have a tight tank; no leach field, and when it overflows, the trucks must drive through it.  He said he has been there three times and that DEP is also looking at it.  They were on an 18-day pumping schedule.  Wind River will pump on a 10-day schedule.  Dennis explained to Wind River what needs to be done; they will submit a proposal.  He also told the board that an attorney representing a worker has contacted the office.  

Mosquito Control – There was an article in the Banner.  

Blood Drive – Over 30 potential donors came; 28 units of red blood cells were collected.  Bill Stark would like to hold another drive with potential dates being August 10, August 24 or August 30.  It was suggested that better dates may be in mid-September on a Saturday during soccer or farmer’s market with potential dates of September 10, September 17 or September 24 (concert from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Hillside).  Sarah will call Mr. Stark tomorrow to set a date.  She will also send a thank you note to Wicked Good Cookies and update the blood drive on Facebook.

Tobacco Regulations (Electronic Cigarettes) – The tobacco regulations are not on line.  This needs to be worked on.  We do not have enough information on electronic cigarettes.  Tina will look into this and also into updating the tobacco regulations.

Sharps – Some containers were found on the table in the office.  They were handled by a town employee which is not allowed.  

Keeping the office open when Melanie is on vacation was discussed.
