the third Wednesday of every month uh that sounds fine to me Bob as long as that's not going to delay people's approval of septics if you think that's appropriate um I think it's totally appropriate and if we needed a call in an emergency meeting all we need is a
couple days notice so okay any other discussion on that no fine with that all right can I get a motion to change the board of health meetings from twice a I'm sorry twice a month to once a month being the third Wednesday of each month so moved all in favor I so to verify our
next meeting then will be the third Wednesday in April does that sound good Bob yep okay um and then next up healthx Public Health Excellence Grant safy act Bob what's up with that safe safe sorry safe
oh fancy spelling of safe I have um the information on that and I provided it to you I just want to put it out there we all know um that various grants uh could be or might be subject to um you know limitations and what they do what they
don't do just trying to get the public informed certainly reach out to me and I just want to give you guys information so okay well cuz I know we had discussed it originally Y and we had said cuz it does like I was reading some of the
stuff that was attached to was that did that stuff come attached to the signatures or did you guys put that in whatever um Peggy sent out to us which is some this that with that with
um so it it will it will come up at town meeting right the more information we have Pro or con yeah yeah on that the more informed decision anybody the board obviously and or a a
resident can make whatever um vote they you know right they certainly have the right to have right but I I do know I remember when we spoke about it cuz one of the key things that we had said was you know do we
maintain our autonomy yes and that you know it's it even says it in here but yes I wanted it clearly states that in there that's where there's been at least with other communities too and actually
why hand never opted in was oh my God they're taking our autonomy uh no the idea is that everybody plays in the sandbox together but you still get to bring your ball home at the end of the day right I guess
is the most simple way of putting that um and yeah autonomy is is like critical right but I you know I don't promote or or um not
promote anything you know politically yeah generated taxes whatever I can just tell you what a board of health does we follow the rules laws regulations we stay Fair firm and consistent um will'll treat people kind
and respectfully uh and then people can make a decision whether they want a grant don't want to Grant and the benefits thereof I just hope that they'd reach out to any one of the four of us once well I'm going to
reach I'm going to read through all of this and then I you know I'll probably have some questions just to make sure areep for town meeting I hope that the residents do too y you know it's I'm just all about informed decisions are you making them on the facts or you
making them off of I'll just use assumption your or your friend voting for it so for yeah exactly right okay and we have um I have I'll have statistical data that
shows what has actually been accomplished oh good I already have it but I'm I wasn't planning on presenting tonight I probably have to go through that either next time individually or at
town meeting okay okay so to see it before the meeting yeah I'd like to see before town meeting too maybe the next meeting that April meeting sure okay I'd be happy to it and again individually I thank Pam for reaching out to me
earlier I'll give you stuff on both sides okay sounds good cuz I don't you know you have to digest right before you make a decision yep soil evaluator Board of Health permanent
just something that um we charge $100 for a soil evaluator permit well I mean I'm a soil
evaluator and might get called into a site but I don't have a license in that town no other town around us has that so I mean you know meaning when anybody wants to work in
Halifax they they get charged an extra $100 if they have to do a soil evaluation the homeowner does um just to verify yes you have your
license we make them permit I I just I don't understand it um so you're saying it doesn't make sense that we're charging for that not for that if you're already a Title 5 an engineer and uh as long as you have your license you should
be good to go why have a separate $100 charge right so we'll just make them present and make sure that they have their license that's all yeah but we do that anyway when we verify everything right we just home on the hook for 100 bucks I wanted to next meeting um get it
out of our town bylaws it's not a a state thing it's just okay that sounds fine especially if it's being put on the homeowner to pay it well that somebody's going to pass along the cost going your house as long as they're showing you
their credentials and qualified I don't have a problem with that exactly all right you want to write that up for the agenda for next time and we can have an official vote okay any other discussion on that no okay affirm payroll all right can I get
