MONTEREY BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MINUTES
Date: July 10, 2017
Present: John Makuc, Roy Carwile, Julio Rodriguez and Peter Kolodziej
Also present: Lisanne Finston, Michael Johnson
The meeting began at 4:10pm
1. The Board met with Executive Director, Lisanne Finston of Gould Farm to discuss the Roadside Café. Peter summarized the progress made to date on repairing the foundation. Gould Farm is looking into many options and launching a fundraising effort and business plan that may include razing the building.
2. The Board reviewed the proposed and current floor plans for the application for a septic upgrade at 19 Limerock Lane. The Board approved the project; a permit will be issued once the applicant supplies the rest of the required information.
3. The Board discussed work done at 31 Sackman without a permit. The job required a pump to be installed which requires a permit. A contractor was never listed on the application and the owner never signed the application. The contractor installed the pump without the proper permits. Peter recommended having the contractor attend the next meeting to discuss the situation and what action to take; the Board concurred.
4. The Board discussed a request from the state for information on wells that went dry last year; we do not have this information readily accessible.
5. An additional inspection at the YES camp will occur after the 24th.
6. The Board continued their discussion on the confidential information sent by the visiting nurse that was published in the town report but copies of were later pulled. Mike Johnson was present to inquire why section 9 of the town bylaws which states that a town report committee is supposed to be formed wasn’t followed and will a new policy be created that makes the Chair of each board responsible for approving each report that goes into the report. The Board will make sure that they are more a part of the approval process for next year and acknowledged that this was a mistake made on multiple levels and not one person can be blamed for it. It was questioned whether the information provided by the VNA needs to be in the report at all, it was also noted that never in the past did the VNA
provide the information that they did for FY16.
7. Board members signed the employee update forms requested by the Accountant and Treasurer.
8. The minutes from June 5 and 19 were approved as written.
The meeting adjourned at 5:10pm

Melissa Noe, Administrative Assistant
