MONTEREY BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MINUTES
Date: December 10, 2007
Present: Stephen Enoch, John Makuc, Robert Annelli and Peter Kolodziej
The meeting began at 3:45pm
1. The minutes from 11.19.07 were approved as written.
2. Mail was reviewed.
3. Peter Kolodziej reviewed the additional information submitted for Regenstreich at 7 Seven Arts Rd as well as the well permit application and has determined that it is not a public water supply and therefore approved both plans.
4. Matt Turner of 36 Northeast Cove Rd came in to discuss the upgrade to his septic system and the condition that the Board of Health might place on the permit to wait until spring to install. Matt wants to install in within the next 2 weeks. Peter Kolodziej explained why it’s best to wait until the spring. Peter spoke with Mike Parsons and they have concurred that it is a failed system but there isn’t an emergency to install it now. The owner has stated that they system is plugged and it’s an old metal tank and the previous owner hasn’t been at the home for 2 years. The Board agreed to allow the system to be put in now with the condition that all inspectors are contacted promptly so that the system isn’t left
uncovered.
5. Peter Kolodziej gave each Board member copies of correspondence received from residents on Art School Rd with regards to a possible Inn being run without permits and a noisy electrical transformer. The Board of Health will place this issue on hold until given direction by the Building Inspector and Select Board.
6. The Board discussed the Title 5 inspection violation by Erik Kirchner and information received about a similar situation that occurred in Gt. Barrington. The inspector has not paid the fine incurred which is due by the end of day today.
7. Peter reviewed with the Board his recent meeting with the Select Board concerning well contaminations.
8. Peter Kolodziej gave the Board an amended copy of the Tobacco regulations to review and approve. The amended regulations include the accountability to the clerks that violate the regulations. The Board is going to review them and make amendments to discuss at next week’s meeting.
9. The Board discussed the recent email from the Town Accountant regarding the Animal Control Officer’s recent request made to the Town Accountant to be paid for mileage (a request was submitted for 560 miles at 0.40/mile to cover 6/1/07 – 12/1/07, totaling $224.00). The Town Accountant stated that she called Nora Hayes to question her about this as this position has never been paid mileage for calls and the stipend this position receives is to cover her travel and time to which Nora replied that if she wasn’t going to be paid for mileage then she’s not going to travel too far. The Town Accountant asked the Board of Health to advise how she should proceed. The Board discussed if mileage was to be reimbursed it would be calculated from the Town
Hall to the site not from Sheffield to the site. The Board stated that this would need to come out of the ACO expense line item. Nora is going to be asked to attend next week’s meeting to clarify her request and discuss this further.
10. The letter received regarding the oil spill cleanup at 171 Main Rd was reviewed and discussed.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00pm
