· Gould Farm has begun the process of obtaining a plumbing variance for an auto shop being erected. They require a letter from the Board of Health endorsing the use of this bathroom. The new building is a farm shop to also be used for training. The Board of Health is requesting a brief summary about the difficulty they are running into and the use of the building to include the hardship and a blurb about the existing bathrooms nearby. The Plumbing Inspector and Board of Health will both need to support this.
· There was a discussion about purchasing equipment for the main house kitchen at Gould Farm to protect food items on the buffet style lunch they provide.
· Discussions ensued about the Animal Control Officer Position. Job Description and budget samples were provided by Tri Town and those were reviewed to meet our needs. Fees to charge and the budget will need to be reviewed. Stephen asked if Robert would go speak with Marge Gulick about her current fees, Robert is unable to do that currently, John is going to compare those numbers with those at his vet office and see if they are reasonable. Peter suggested that the bylaws be reviewed and see if those need to be tougher. Robert updated the board that he can not go any further with seeking a new ACO until he finds out from the town if
appointed positions are covered under the town’s insurance policy, he met with the Select Board this morning and Jonathan Sylbert (Select Board member) is contacting the insurance company, MIIA. Robert suggested that we advertise the position in the local newspaper. Peter suggested having the Select Board start a dialog with other towns to discuss having one ACO for a number of towns (shared). Gareth will be asked to attend our next meeting to discuss what he currently has been handling and what it’s involved.
· Mail was reviewed.
· Peter discussed a complaint he received and looked into at 10 Williams Lane apt 3 at Blue Heron Landing, shower only trickles when turned on.
