[Music] Okay so we've started recording uh maybe maybe one of the things we
should start with is a a regulation on the th Wood Avenue I don't I don't know if if you Bill if you and Lee read what what
Brian uh passed along from that that attorney and and I I actually talked to to Brian quite some time on that one and he said you know we're probably in a spot because we don't have our rules in place
right St with with what Title 5 tells us we've got authority to do and and I I looked at the the the two issues I don't know how we're gonna talk about
the the attorney for the owner of of wood of six Wood Avenue says he'd be willing to pump the tank but it but uh if if you look at it looks like a three-bedroom house and I said you know
we to that that regulation because we knew any thousand gallon tanks were all besides being under sized compared to the current Title Five we knew they were all 50 years old and that they'd be
no good and so this guy is is really saying you know let's look at what you've got for statutory Authority and uh and kind of challenged us and I said see from from Brian standpoint I said
well you could look at the the tank a thousand gallons and say it's on a it's on a three-bedroom house and Title Five says that that a septic tank should have at least two
days dwell in it so that would be you know 660 actually even if we did it on the way we do it it would be 880 so it's not it's it's not below the two days yeah
pardon me dick I I'll be back in about 60 seconds okay hold on please you're quietly how are you good how's everything this evening good except I've got the flu and I'd like to try to keep our not good
meeting and slow I mean short yeah Dian Percy 7:30 so you know 20 of eight we should be out of here yeah depending on what Tim mcginness asked for us well I I went over stuff
with Tim I don't know what what Tim's gonna give us um I don't know where Bill left us but but the issue with with six Wood Avenue is it
is I shouldn't have the discussion without bill being here okay yeah no worries we'll get it oh we can while he's waiting while we're waiting we certainly could go through our our
uh minutes did we how are you with the minutes for February 25th I didn't have any changes the no I I saw that I'm I'm good as well on that okay colen so we're you can put that that bill wasn't part of this
discussion but Lee and I said it's okay we've got um the next one is is your time sheet Colleen and uh my stuff is a little it was in order
there it is excuse me a little bit um so Lee Colleen for this period for the March 8 is normal 70 hours are you okay with
that yes thank you I am too coling so that's approved okay the next one is account receiv receivable and it totals this period $420
of That 160 from board of health permits 110 from Board of Health licenses 150 for Board of held fees and that's it totaling 420 are you okay with that
Lee yes I am thank you s I am too okay so that's approved Sor right the next one looks like a part of a Quill's order it's a schedule of bills payable we had quill
office supplies for uh $785 and then we've got copy paper for $54.99 totaling 133 uh and 4 Cent that we had already
approve the spending of that uh are you okay with that Lee yes yep I am too so while you're gone we decided to move a little further forward okay no no worries uh so I then I'll stop I'll go
back so anyways the the thousand gallon tank is more than the two days uh capacity so from a standpoint is it patently too small looks like for
that house it's not but but uh what the reason we said about those tanks and replacing them is that that putting a concrete tank in the ground for 50 or 70 years is most definitely going to be corroding and
so this attorney said Gee I'd be willing to pump it but from my standpoint well I think that that title five already said that they had Dro in baffles that were corroded I don't know whether they replaced it
but but my feeling would be if if that's what you want to do you need to someone ought to be looking at the inlet and outlet and see if the joint so you pump it out and make sure you look at the inside but you then look at the outsides
and look at the top and the sides and and see if there's any signs of cracking or corroding yeah yeah yeah dick I I read the attorney's letter from bacon and Wilson and he kind of uh he seemed he seemed rather confident that the tank
would be in fine structural shape so let him hire a structural engineer yeah I I think what happens is that I I think Neil even said that he saw a crack on the top of the tank but
but uh okay so so Lee and Bill I it sounds to me like what happens is you say Okay pump the pump the tank out and then around the sides of it and make sure that there's no signs of corrosion or
cracking and and with something there to to look at it and yeah yeah have an independent person look at the tank and and write write up an assessment that's all yeah but I did look at at the lot today I don't know whether the systems
in the front I'm guessing in the front it looks like it's a a fill lot and it looks like they probably were in rocks so so I don't know where they are but but as long as they're out there digging then
uh it seems reasonable that that the guy digging looking at the tank ought to dig and find out where the the water table is at the same time yeah and I hope the I hope his attorney is cognizant that um all these
procedures um are going to expend x amount of dollars and still may result in a uh tank component failure in fact the reason we said we'll replace the reason we said we'd replace
the the thousands is because we're sure they were going to all fail so so I guess that's what's going to happen well yeah that's he's gambling with his client's uh finances at this
point so the it sounds like what we're saying is you're GNA have to dig up that tank and look at it there you know there's a joint on that tank on the side you've got the inlets and the outlets and and look at the baffles to see if those are you know do
they have te's in there has anybody ever fixed them that that so he's going to do some work and pump it out and then we could dig the hole to to look at where the water table is and and
uh so it sounds like we'll have to get may maybe do you want me to get back to Brian and since it was come this lawyer dealing with lawyer that I get back to Brian and said here's what we're saying Brian what do you think about it is that what you want me to do yeah and and
again I talked to ran about it too as well dick and again unless these rigs were were promulgated through the Secretary of State's office if we ever went to court we'd lose however even if we went to court we'd spend a pile of
taxpayer money the lawyer on behalf of the homeowner would spend a pile of money so instead of spending all that money like you say we'll come to a mutually acceptable agreement and just be done with it and I think that's the and we'll get and then we get our
regulations published the way they're supposed to and that's right will'll be done with that's right so okay but what Brian did F and and I actually I talked to Colleen about it is that on all of these since since the regulation says
that the Board of Health can determine what needs to be replaced because of anything we feel is environmentally compromised it just means that what we have to look at at each situation and say yeah that's what we think and then
we're 100% in compliance with the regulation what we can't do is we can't go and said you know the board already said these thousand gallon tanks are all going to be corroded and just replace them we
can't say that until we have a regulation well okay uh before you know I I know we're we're already well we've used this on on regulations right now so
can do you think before the next meeting you guys that Lee and and Bill could take a look at at the two drafts that I sent out on on the one was on the perest and one was on
Title Five inspections if we could yeah I looked at him real quick dick I got a couple of potential language changes but I'll I'll have something for next meeting as well sure the other the other bill is I I did spend a bunch of time looking at at the
stuff that you sent out and boy it looks it certainly would make you believe that that on these Title Five inspections that the our distance shouldn't be three feet it should be
maybe two feet instead of three feet well you know you know anecdotally dick and this was this was 30 years ago I had a sit down with Venom one day we had coffee and he says I'm pushing for D within the next 10 years and this was
this was back in 95 he says within the next 10 years I hope they drop it to two feet to be more more consistent with the state of Connecticut never happened it's been 30 years so that that uh I think as as if
we look at it next week we can come up with that for a we'll chose what we're going to have for for spacing the other thing that the only thing bill on on the literature that you gave us Dave they
didn't use that their conclusions Came From A system that was do every six hours it was not a it was not really set up the way a household would use it the main one they had they're different a
couple of them it is interesting though that if you look at nutrients they really looked at viruses and they didn't do very much for nutrients that's for sure well no it did for bod bod it it knocked down and TSS
it obviously knocked down some of the nutrients it did not do anything for nitrates and nitrites but none of these systems are going to do so unless you do Advanced treatment right so increasing the spacing does nothing for nitrates sck it's just going to percolate down yeah that's what it
Sayes it just goes It goes right through yeah so so it's a moot point we could have a 10- foot separation and you're still not going to affect the the nitrates and the nitrites that's right I I ended up just as a point of record uh
or a point of I guess it's a point of record is that the uh guy that's working on the two four flexes on on new Ro is having trouble trying to find he's close to the brook he's he's in trouble
with he was trying to put a system in the front and there's some space problems and I got back to him today and I said you know you can do something maybe way out and come back to the Board of Health I said what would
happen if you put a single so he was G to end up with either two big tanks or multiple big tanks and and two different pump Chambers and I said what would happen if you actually went with the advanced treatment tank and dealt with
the nitrates have a single tank that serves both of those places maybe in the backyard and I said instead of going with two pump Chambers maybe you could do one pump chamber with three pumps that you and then in the front of the
building you put who of maybe the algen system so you end up treating the treating the the waste in your tank and then come back to us and say you know I'm going to dose these two
systems and instead of having four pumps I'll have three pumps so that we can run them back and forth and then come back to us and say you know the the elen's got a little bit of advanced treatment and maybe you come to the board Health there and say yeah put my Advanced
treatment tank and that advanced to the Elgen now I'd really like to look at a two foot separation system and I said I don't know what it's going to cost you or whatever but it would be kind of neat oh yeah you know infiltrator makes another one called the
ecopod which is very similar it's got a layer of processed material below the below the uh invert of the pipes and that six foot layer is what they claim and I guess they got certification and approval to do it that
is their Advanced treat it's a passive Advanced treatment system which is unusual wow it's unusual it's called the ecopod wow in fact infiltrator on the little webinar series they have a on hour lecture on it you might want to watch
it okay yeah you know I've been taking these little one hour webinars for my uh soil evaluator license and it's it's it's kind of it's kind of of interesting because infiltrator has essentially bought out four or five companies so everybody's under the umbrella of
infiltrator these days except El except Elgen so anyway so if we do that and we've got the if you look at the systems that I have let's go to to that because Allan's GNA be with is with us but
uh what what we actually have is the Allan had two two things it it shows up in two different spots one is just an extension he's asking for but the other is on 114 Morgan Street so going down Morgan Street you go up you go from East
Street go across new llo road and on the right side almost the west of and U it's new construction complete systems three-bedroom house the fee is pay the review is complete mainly a
wooded lot it's l it's 9 and a half acre or 9 plus acres deep Sands 22 in water table wetlands and also it's got a flood zone that comes in and and yes
PES PES the the property the issues of the water table and the flood zone the design is is uh it shouldn't say existing but it's a 1500 two gallon two compartment tank with an outlet filter
it's got three 3tx 40t x 12 in effective uh sidewall trenches they're not vented they're level 444 gallons provided 440 required fill is required Reserve area
is provided between and adjacent to the trenches you got five foot water table separation Bast isn't required you got the whole system up in the air the septic tank and the SAS separation other Wells and wetlands more than 100
feet and there's no activity in the in the flood zone uh just have to discuss the trench permit and the fil it's it's a pretty straightforward uh fill system in a in a
really wet Sandy area dick how far is he from Stony Brook uh he is onlyy Brook still is to the east of
this and I would say he is over 500 less than okay okay okay yeah he's on side his issue is that on that that west side of Morgan
Street is that it goes out into that whole big Wetland that that comes out and and pisses near the old uh entrance to the landfill and it goes if you go from there to to what what used to be
runwell I don't know what that is but that going from there going all the way back into West over that's it's all a big wetland in there right yeah yeah just incidentally there's a fellow that was proposing to do uh uh automobile
racing out there they came yeah they came to the commission about 5 years ago and they didn't go get too far but they were planning on doing stock car racing out there believe you or not but they had a tremendous amount of wetland across to get to the dry area of which
there is some out there anyway but that never happened so are we okay with this Lee you okay with this that's fine that's fine yes yeah yeah and I am too Colleen okay Allen also submitted a a request for
actually filing a a protest that that I think you went out with them Le on at some point it's on lot 174 Bachelor Street it's a it's actually
across from Mayo's house somewhere in that area and it's in one of these little SPS that that a it's like a little pedal of of
fan and he just submitted the thing this was a a redo this these are de holes redo of a of a 2023
her in fact I just don't understand why this isn't just an extension this is the I thought it was quite quite a bit older than that but I could be mistaken that's what I'm looking at L that
uh because I went in there with the John binsky was this with John kinsky from
lllo some years back yeah originally one oh that's on Morgan Street that's that's like 106 Morgan Street on the right yes oh no not this on Bor Street oh okay this is AC cross
from the Sant I'm just trying I'm looking at the SS that that he sent us and uh I think Alan said he was he was looking for an extension and and I
think I think he told de that you actually witnessed it with him and it was a a duplicate of what did [Music]
Comm and I'm trying to see if it even says that you but when I looked it up I I think I must have gone to a yeah what you and it was on the April 19th
2023 and it was the same result as I had gotten with with John so all he's doing is asking for the per to be extended until April 19th 2027 I that's what we
always so he rep perked what John kinsky perked some years prior to that duplicate data and he just wants to move it forward for the home owner yeah and all he's he's saying is like he did it in 2023 and he'd liked it to be extended
out to 2027 that's what we do all the time sure yeah yeah so we we should do that hello are you okay with that Phil yeah that's fine the next one I've got is this is
Tim mcginness on one Jennifer Drive the phone okay so I'm not sure what what Tim is gonna or was able to to change the the issue that the main one that that's
sitting there is that he had dropped the design down to a four bedroom and Tim and I talked about moving it up to five-bedroom and he said he he was going to do that but the design review is complete with the most L cleared grassy
almost an acre lot slopes down a little bit to the South deep Sands 39 in water table issues of the high water table also the the uh the house expansion was in there that moved from a three bedroom to a
potential five bedroom and it would have required a a Title Five septic upgrade uh the perk test ended up being longer than two minutes an inch so that but we called it two minutes an inch because it
was class one soil uh no original design information at the board of at the gry Board of Health what our board did at our last meeting is we said that that we did want
a pump and that him should end up getting the system absolutely as high as he could get it and ends up with still using the elen system which he did and
go with trenches which he did and so what he's he's got is a is he will be adding it to get to the our five bedroom requirement that's the six it's now three printes that are nine units each
Elgen trenches he's got a 4 foot water table separation he could not not get the five the maximum groundwater separate that and he did do the maximum groundwater separation without pum the new 1500 galon two compartment tank with
an outlet filter right now he's 550 versus 650 required there is no Reserve area Phill is required permission is and Tim was going to get in touch with Dave D roer there's a a drainage EAS
to the south of the the lot and he was going to talk to to Dave the roer just so we could throw a little sand in there a little fill in there so we could get his 15 feet instead of 10 feet of breakout
protection uh I did talk to him you did yeah I did he said fine okay that's what I expected yeah he had no problem okay so when we say drainage easement
dick um or Tim um are we talking about a drain no it's it's not a drain it's just um grass but from the property line um I believe maybe
North uh it's 20 feet wide but it's just it's just that front section of grass there's no underground pipes you know there's nothing there okay so so it doesn't end up does does a town of grandby hold the easement through the easement
holder I believe it says it's the information that I received it says drainage easement in favor of gry mass okay so so that means yeah yeah so gry DPW reserves the right at a later date to put some sort of drain system in
there so it's essentially buy or beware I guess you could put something in there but don't be surprised if it gets dug up someday but Tim's only putting a little sand on the top so it go it's only gonna move in yeah the sand on the Top's not a problem but if you wanted to put a pipe
or something in there you'd have to be careful that's right yeah he's not doing that so is not pill's not a problem there he's encroaching about five feet and the the the so the tail end of the soil is
5T onto the easement and as you come back at the 3:1 slope where he hits the hits the edge of the easement he's only up about 15 inches so it's it's you're not going to be able to See's done anything there
yeah the only thing Dave might do is to to put a swail or a ditch or something in there at a later date but I would probably run it by David and just get his Blessing on this well already I I I I have already done that he said fine no problem okay
good B is required for the ahead Bast is required for the septic tank the existing tank will be pumped removed and filled and compacted because it's under the driveway silk control is
specified uh Tim is going to use schedule 80 PVC p underneath the driveway because this this uh the new tank is outside it's to the south of the driveway instead of under it two of the
existing trenches will be removed he's got a slight swail it's a slight one to let the water drain from the that SAS Top Just
Around The Edge so it clears the the uh the gar uh we've got the the septic tank and saf separation to the Wells and the wetlands more than 100 feet what Pim is probably
made the changes already that he's got to put a note in that that we require a trench permit uh yeah yeah one one question dick are there any a gutter down spouts in the way causing potential problems I did I did not notice any
although there could be I could ask the owner yeah yeah again if if there's a potential problem with gutter runoff you know going on top of the system right that's why I put that grassy Swale in there just well that's what I that's what I thought that's why
I asked that question yeah that's I you know I there's G to be runoff from the roof and the driveways going down toward the leech field so I I have a you know the grassy swim maybe you know three feet wide and you know four inches deep or something you know just enough to
catch the water and shoot it off in the easterly and Westerly Direction so so how far is this grassy swell from the nearest trench it's um about five feet it's
almost it's at it's at the edge of this of the of the the sand I'm putting I'm putting a whole bunch of title fied sand in there so it's going to be at the edge of the the 5 foot distance of this of the you know the title 5
sand it's like right next to the shed above above the breakout level yeah I'd hard pipe it but it's up to you guys well we've got the the bill
requirement but but Tim also has to add in a note that the Board of Health and the engineer has to do inspection of the soil strip before adding uh any sand especially since we're going to be ripping out a couple trenches underneath
there right the title uh there is a he's going to make the the title five design requirement for the five bedroom house getting up to the 660 see there we do have a an issue that bill you're probably have to go out
there if if we're going to allow this 5 foot to 4 foot separation before this is done you're going to have to go out and look it it says that a the board member has to be a the board witness has to be
a a soil evaluator if we're going to give this this H water table variant Yeah Yeah Yeah Tim get a hold of me at the appropriate time when you got a machine out there I'll be happy to come out all right I have to get in touch with the property owner for that
okay if he doesn't have one no well well what you do it is do it at the time that you're starting to work on a system or something yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah don't do it separately yeah do it when you're oh I see oh oh okay all right I get
it don't don't be spending don't be spending money for nothing right and he's already done the permission for the the the placement of the fil so the question is right now for us as a a board are are we going to make do you
want to see him make the change the main the change that he's going to do on the drawing that that really that's substantial is that the The Trenches the three trenches are going to end up probably growing each of them
by either one or two they're now U I'm using 11 rather than nine so that each each trench is growing by 8 feet actually 9 fet if you add the extra so I'm adding I'm adding
uh 11 uh modules per trench so that's 33 I only need 30 um so I'm three over what I actually need so do you if the first are we gonna are we gonna prove this that's the first
question Bill and Lee and the second is are we going to wait to approve it uh for two weeks or are you guys gonna allow me to say once I see the
electronic drawing that I tell Colleen she can sign off on so the first one is are we gonna allow this to be done well you good with it dick I am yeah yeah I'm fine yeah I think that that's that's reasonable
okay okay thank thank you very much very good are are you guys contact with me thank you are you g to let me tell Colleen to sign it once I've seen it and it's okay yeah yes sure okay uh Allan you're
there patiently we approved yours uh all right I'm I'm signing off thank you very much okay have a good night Tim all right bye Tim we assign we have actually there's a
third thing that we didn't do yet that we approved the 114 uh Morgan Street subject to Phil and trenes thank you the we extended the
to uh April of 2027 on Bachelor Street the next one you had a a question and uh that that Cindy and we had talked as a board Lee
and and Bill Allan has got that tank coming out of the building at Cindy's within so that that the inlet of the tank is within four
inches of what Allan called the water table but he based it on not looking in the holes right there and what what we had said and I talked to Allan afterwards I said Gee if it's something that's that
close at the time that that we're doing the installation somebody needs to be looking and and make sure that that it isn't four inches higher and we're going to put the the inlet of these tanks underwater or that there plenty safe so
somebody at the time of the installation or before I guess you could if we're worried about it you go can speak to that yeah so that's that's your third yeah no it's all set the contingency will be dealt with um as a matter of
fact you don't even know this yet but after we're done tomorrow if it goes smoothly on Carver joshh was going to ask if you wouldn't mind um well or we could go over there a after the other one too but um we could take a quick look and call you or take
pictures or whatever you want but we'll verify that the it is level ground but we'll verify that the elevation is the same as what we called out in the field so then we'll be Sai well know that we're we're not gonna flood that system yeah yeah so we'll we'll address
that okay um I'm sorry it looked like I I think you may have saw what looked like I was attending the meeting but I at last minute I was asked by belter toown to speak to some issues of gross Alpha detection in in Bedrock Wells and so I
had to attend that meeting at the same time fine because we we typically go through this thing and and we go over my reviews before your time come anyways okay so wor that thank you and I'll see
you in the morning okay okay all right thanks bye take care now we go to our our next item is uh let's see an this is a permit there's
a food truck permit for the tie place they obviously have a base of operation and this is the to operate a M mobile food server looks like it's going to be also it's
going to go out at at the The Wine House are we are we going to approve this subject to L going and inspect it yeah the Bas operations is going to be the restaurant in Hadley correct yeah
yeah yeah so where is she gonna go to grandby or South Handley you'll have to call these people and say where do you want us where does she want to be okay so she could inspect
at either location then okay yeah fine I'm okay okay to coling okay the next one is a renewal and it's a a disposal works construction per installers permit for
Wilson Construction Peter Wilson from pelum and he's had it before are we okay with that one yes yeah yeah I am too coling so that's approved
okay the next one I have I'm gonna I'm just gonna be out of this one I'm gonna Exon conflict this is my sister in-laws the executive of this estate it's 9 North Street we've got a a uh system an
as built sign off a cc from Neil Jackson it was signed he's got drawing so I can't that's we have I'm not going to discuss it well I know um from being on site that
Josh and Leo kug both installed this thing uh alen wife engineered and everything came out um as per design there's no issue there
bill that's fine L yeah whatever that's good yeah very good okay so I think we should just accept it and uh you know go down that path I think we're fine all the way around okay the next one we have Bild that that you can probably
just talk a second on it it's Taylor Street it's across from number 288 the bags of of trash just an update oh I went I I met with Ryan vand and his operator his compost operator
last Saturday um Colleen I have a copy of the their D compost permit they have a compost permit I believe the permit requires them to be uh on the order of 1 or 200 feet off the road they're they're
more than 300 feet off the roadway I I did notice a lot of bright colored vegetables they they gather their food wasss from uh many sources including belter toown School system and I noticed a lot of bright
colored vegetables carrots green peppers red peppers uh apples that sort of thing and of course the crows have good eyes as do hawks and once the crows see those bright colored vegetables they swoop
right in so as a first order recommendation I uh I recommended that they increase the size of their covering tarps so they cover up all all the material and not uh and not short change their tarps apparently what they were
using as tarps they weren't quite large enough for their compost piles and uh a lot of this bright colored material was leaking out on the edges so let's let's see if the the larger tarps uh do a
better job of keeping the crows at Bay but uh I did I did personally see the uh the permit it called it actually highlighted um food waste dick and and as you know know from your from your
experience in in chemistry is they got to watch their carbon nitrogen ratios so they have to kind of be very careful as to how they they uh put this concoction together and one thing that I was somewhat surprised is that they do put
in some cardboard food containers from time to time and Colleen you sent me a photo of some of those didn't you yes that's what I ask I did see some of those in the waist stream so I don't know I said well I'm going to talk to the board about that um because their
check off sheet on their permit said food food waste it did not say recyclable cardboard again the cardboard containers had a recycle one triangle on it so it was a it was AAR they were not they were not biodegradable
material it just said recycle well they claim they're biodegradable so that's a that's a point of Interest they claim they're biodegradable aren't there are they in bags Bill are there a lot of bags oh no I didn't see any bags no they're just
they're just lightweight grayish they look like egg egg containers essentially interesting that's certainly supposedly supposedly they contribute they they contribute favorably to their
nitrogen carbon ratio that they're seeking and they just leave them in there so as long as they're not you know loaded with wax and glue and absolutely know cellulose if you were doing this in your backyard you
could put leaves in your in your compost without any trouble it would it would work fine right yeah the ones that I saw dick were they had no they had no plastic they uh they were essentially like egg cartons they were essentially like egg cartons okay so you're going to
kind of stay after that one I'll keep yeah I'll keep I'll keep tabs on that and the next time the neighbor at 288 calls if he had has any more concerns have him give us a call again okay okay okay thank you let's do a a quickie to
to get uh bruo liquor you know we're holding up uh some of his permits he's now got a report from Quin we did ask him to get it tested his well tested and he's he's done bacterial tests saying
they're absent uh are we at the point that we should just uh Grant his license now licenses I think as far as I've read um everything was brought up to our
requirements dick just dictor rehash that what was the original issue they ran out of water oh that's right okay their well went dry okay and they
they I'm not sure that they they actually fixed anything that the the water and the drought went down and and I I guess maybe as a as a board should
we be just paying attention and if it goes down again we just tell them that look at that this well is not a stable well you need to put a deep well in dick do do they have a a suction well a jet pump well or or a deep well the submersible pump oh I think they I think
they've got a just a shallow well okay so probably 25 I think they have a tight tank ah okay okay but they're in a they're in a a
spot that that is probably you know my thought would be maybe we should you know just keep watching it because it no we didn't come out we we should be out of the right now and in reality I saw
yesterday that we're still in a pretty medium level drought doesn't surprise me but are we in a spot that he he's he does have water his system works he's had it tested that that I hate to have the guy sitting there trying to do
business without licenses yeah no no but as long as he's got water and it's tested in past muster I think everything's good are you okay too Bill with I mean Lee with that I am yes okay Colleen so we are so
we can give them that okay all right the next now we are now 7:35 I don't know if Diane firsty is here I don't see her I'm here
oh you are okay I am okay Dave's here and Diane's here we're all set so you're your goal was going to be to come back this week and tell us what you were what
you were planning on doing as a as a ter the board doesn't know it yet but i' I've got a perk test scheduled with Allan on this property for Friday yes Mr Weiss said he would be there at
11:30 on Friday to do a perk test so so Diane are you telling us that you're moving to the next step to to to have him do the perk and get started with the the design is that what you're
thinking right now that is correct okay that the bill and and Lee are for me that's perfectly acceptable we're moving exactly the way we should
move and uh what else would we would like are are we okay with this with Diane or do we want to be doing anything I think Dave are you okay with it
David I guess you can't hear us yeah I'm sorry I had to audio again I think no I can you hear me now yeah yeah oh yeah go ahead Dave I I'm fine with it I think they're moving in the right direction and moving forward is a thing
to do okay all right good enough okay thank you yeah okay dick I think we're good Lee if you're good you also on board yeah this is exactly what we discussed um it's the right thing at the right time it's you know as turns out
it's the high water table um even though there is a drought but yeah I fully support going forward um and this thing tested designed and in in the ground
absolutely okay so B we're all set keep great keep us keep us up to date and uh I would I I'll talk to to Allen to see what his General schedule is I but I have to be careful because Allen doesn't
report to me reports to you and I I I've got a I'm not running the project if alen tells me this is what we should expect what what I really if I'm out there I the right thing for me to do is
to to just wait for you to come back to us and say okay I've talked to the engineer here's his schedule here unless unless you tell him that he can talk to me about it he's your engineer he's not our engineer okay that's understand I
understand that okay okay thank you thank you good night thank you okay good night thank you the next thing that that we have is
the we've got the animal inspector and we've got a nominate uh actually Colleen looks like Colleen they even filled out the paperwork
for yes let me look at they do they do and then if there's changes we can change it but so what colen is got is that this that we still have Tom fbot as the animal inspector and his assistant is
Kim Goldsmith are we okay with that and we nominate the both of them yeah there's no um there's no conflict with the um um the business as I understand it in
other words Tom will do that side of the work and that way it doesn't appear that Kim is the assistant and she's in the competitors you know where I'm going with this thing yeah well we well we did last year when we did this is we said
that that Kim couldn't be in a spot es especially where it's it's talking about dogs and cats and that that she can't end up directing any business towards her business that's that's how we did it
last year okay perfect yep Bill how are you with this yeah well Tom's been in there 35 years now now is that right well yeah because he took over for
Giles yeah right and he he's uh he's having some trouble moving around his his uh he actually had a a bad knee operation and and uh bad enough that it had actually cost him his job he was
working at that solution and I apparently it it uh bothered him so much but that he couldn't do it very well but he can still he still manages to do this and and the last time I talked to him he
was he was happy with this job and good great I'm glad to have both of them on board again so colen that's what happened we both all agree with that okay sounds good
they it looks like the the water tables oh we got two things before I forget colen has pointed out to us that it is possible that we only have one
more of these remote meetings that are legal I I saw that dick the governor didn't give us much of a heads up did did they no that there there's some things that are that are happening I I uh
the first one is it looks to me like the governor feels so strongly about it that she's pushing to make it mandatory that all boards and meetings go have a remote
feature that not just you can do it you must do it so so that we must do remote we must have hybrid meeting capability yeah that's what she that's what I was reading so okay but but I
think this runs out on the 20 right now the 25th which would put it that if we meet who who days from now it would be our last meeting let's hope that that
doesn't happen so do we in terms of our next meeting do we want to do the next next meeting on the Tuesday the 25th and meet 15 minutes early again that's fine Lee
Yes okay so we're gonna do that but Colleen ought to be in a spot that that we better get ourselves a meeting spot for two weeks after that now Bill are you going to
be in a let's say two weeks after let me look at my calendar well dick dick first of all I recommend that we meet at the Carnegie building is a nice Airy building okay what we were doing we were
going to do it the last time is we were gonna meet at the the public safety complex which is a big a big area well I think Carnegie's about five times the volume Carnegie has 14 foot ceilings
dick okay it's a beautiful building and we can open the windows in the summer if you'd like okay so if we you know the police station building is fine too but again if we get a bunch of people in there I
don't know if the air flow is that great yeah let's let's see if we can if this thing can work work up so let's first look so that that would be April
eight is that going to be a a conservation that's a second Tuesday bill yeah yeah we meet Yeah we actually met last night and and we posted our next meeting for the E so that's going to be a problem for me personally well
do we if we tell Colleen to find a meeting room for us do we put it for the ninth we could do that yeah and and I'm hoping that Carnegie would be available for the 9th if you want to if you want to meet there again it's up to you guys
but I I think that you okay with the nth Wednesday the nth oh sure sure yep okay well hopefully hopefully this is all straightened out the next question I have for you guys is I dug out the letter that we
sent the the last time to try to get people to to okay this this thing who we want to it look like it's a pretty generic letter that still works I sent it out for discussion do we do we want
Colleen to take that letter and send it out to all the Reps and the governor and you know just send it to everybody do we want to do that again yeah I would I would support that for sure I'd support that of course the
timing isn't the greatest because if you looked at the the Sunday New York time times last weekend there was a big article about fouchy and how closing of the schools may have been incorrect but uh we're going to run into a little bit of push back but again if the governor
if if Haley is on our team on this that should be fine they they really are that that most people are saying that they get way better participation okay perfect okay so you well you can figure at least for for us
that we've you know our meetings get posted by doing it this way our whole meeting is post every time we meet people can look at our whole meeting and see what goes on and they can come and see us they can be with us and and when
you're if we just meet in a room together you get all you have is if you're there you see it and you read our notes and that's it right and again you know Allen would have to drive in from belard town Tim would have to drive in from wherever he's from and again it's
it's it's a lot of nighttime driving for for folks yeah which I'm not and for sure like on a A Night Like This I wouldn't be in front of you guys with the flu yeah that wouldn't be a very nice thing to do to
anybody okay so that's colen that's what we'll do that so we send out the letter yeah send it a you know really send it to the attorney general send it to yeah to all the the state
reps and the Senators just we'll just send it out I'll do what I did last time and you want the old library for the next meeting not the next meeting but the one after that April 9th if we can yeah if it's available yeah talk to Kathy I think Kathy's in Char yeah I'll
call her y okay okay the last the last thing that I have is this this letter that we've all got from uh Raymond Moret about the wine housee we discussed this
last the last meeting and once again the people are saying how can the the Board of Health okay food sales and
and and the whatever all the activity that's out there and give permits for that when when supposedly there are issues about whether they should legally be able to
be there and what we what we said last week is that the Board of Health has things we're supposed to look at and and not be
looking at whether they have the license from another board to be working that we said that's the other board's issue but ours has to be if if someone is sa serving food someplace that it's got to be safe and and from our standpoint we
have to look and bring our expertise and our rules to it and that we would not be saying we won't inspect because we don't think there's a a license that in fact maybe a court that determines that and
do we have a a different feeling this week than that or or or like Brian stay in our lane we're not the systems we're not the systems approver we're going to approve septic systems
Wells and food stuffs and that's it period that's our job Lee what is your thought no I I I agree um I'm not happy with uh
concept of this whole thing with different boards not addressing these issues as they come forward for whatever reason I don't know their schedule they don't know mine um but yeah it uh the point is well
taken that we work in a certain structure and outside of that structure um it's not our Authority or expertise to overstep our bounds so we agree with that but now now
let's go into ours where Colleen very nicely has a a Tickler for us and it says we are in our world now in that operation was supposed to be giving us a
timeline for when they were putting that holding tank in that's correct that is an ourlink well is the tank in yet no
nothing I'm not even sure there's a permit taken out for but well didn't we approve a septic design for that project I don't think it I can't remember we must have
approved there was at least the approval of the 2,000 gallon and the 1500 gallon tanks to be installed that's right yeah because I remember Neil had Neil had a couple of Tanks one was from the house and one was from The Wine House itself
right yeah right something in the back of my mind yeah that it was supposed to be in by you know in in and done prior to um St Patrick's Day or some other
theoretical time frame of course I'm a little concerned about uh the lack of energy going forward to get from approval
to uh actual Construction since or last summer as as we all know come and gone and nothing to show for it we had a a
permit that was a it wasn't a full year permit that we granted on this one do you know since you're not at your desk it's hard for you to tell but do remember when it was it seems to
me like it could easily have been in April I I I think it was it was not a full year dick it was either three months or six months I recall I don't I don't have the file with me but oh you can look that up but
it' be in the but it's it's okay it's but I guess that's the one where we have the te maybe Colleen can get a hold hold the gym and say you know that that uh you only have a temporary permit and it's
depending on you getting this making progress on this and we're just seeing no progress right yeah I think it was I think it was till June is his permit I I think you're right I think June I think it was June
yeah but if at least if you get in touch with them and say you know this that won't be that won't be an easy thing for Jim to deal with if he doesn't get the permit that permit for [Music]
much so you want from him uh timeline of when he's putting that tank in that's right and get it hooked up y I get on understand that he said you know it was really hard I just trying to work on that on that site with that high
water table in the winter it's a mess to try to do it but but now it's the time that he probably can do it so what else do we what else do we have here might be good I think that's about it tonight
okay so hopefully hopefully we get the remote meetings continuing yeah that would be a definite plus I hope so dick you got the flu I got the flu what happened
is is my son brought it into the house and we thought we were going to be okay and and make it Escape uh and we we didn't we we but we on HTH flu right
away like within within 12 hours and and actually I thought I was going to be okay but but uh and I've been up pretty good but today I I didn't sleep last night and I said hey I've got up with a
102 fever and I said this is this is four days into it and I thought I'd be on the way out and I just listening to my wife upstairs coughing so the two of us have it so you know you're right though dick
because if if one of us is ill it's it would be irresponsible for us to go to a meeting in a in a building knowing that we're ill we could that would be terrible that's right you wouldn't go I wouldn't go Lee wouldn't go Colleen
wouldn't go no no and again that's another reason to keep these remote meetings but as we all know sometimes our guests at these live meetings didn't share the same Spirit of what we're talking about right now well you know that's another problem because if I if
I'm in conservation meeting and someone comes in coughing I put my mask on immediately yeah you have to yeah course I'm the only one in the room with a mask on but that's the way it goes yeah so I get
it it is a kind of a mess especially in the in the winter time like this and and blue season and so the good good thing is that my sister-in-law works at the sewage treatment plant and and Chickapee
and she said uh RS and they do tests and they said RSV is down near zero Co is now dropped almost to zero and they said that that the flu is is starting to drop off so oh they test that in the waist
stream yeah that's it's a leading indicator wow wow and they can they can see it and they not only do they they test it but they they've got the correlation looking at the number of
people that use the system that they can tell the concentration of the the disease and they can tell how much disease there is in the community wow wow and it and it leads it's a leading indicator wow that's pretty Sharp
W so so they do that so anyway that's where we are I hope you feel better deck okay yeah well I hope so and I was good enough to go on
per test this this week my knee was good enough so so stuff is working good good the knee's working well anyway that's okay okay guys good night yeah night thank you y
bye bye
