00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:48.160
Good evening. It's Wednesday, June 17th, 2026 at 6 p.m. Calling the Lake Board of Health meeting to order. Is there anyone in the audience recording this? I see no one. Blake Cam is recording this.

2
00:00:48.160 --> 00:01:05.119
First on the agenda, reappoints of assistant board of health agents for the period of July 1st, 2026 through June 30th, 2027. Um, as a board, all three of us at board members are assistant board of health agents in the town uh to help out with

3
00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:22.479
inspections. So, we have to vote for each one of us individually. I'll make a motion that we appoint Derek Maxim an assistant board of health agent for the period of July 1st, 2026 through June 30th, 2027.

4
00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:35.600

8
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:42.480
31st, 2027. >> Ed, we're all set to good. >> And he helps us with just anybody watching what >> um just food inspections right now. So, I did pass inspections, too. But uh as

9
00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:57.120
he gets more experience, he can do more stuff. For right now, just the food inspections. >> Okay. >> I make a motion to recommend to the select board to appoint Ardans Edward as our shared services health specialist

10
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:13.200
for the period of June 1st, 2026 through May 31st of 2027. >> I'll second that. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I >> I >> I. Next on the agenda, >> is that date correct, Ed? Um, is it

11
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:29.920
different from what we just did? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Not sure why, but >> Okay. 15 Beachwood Avenue. Meet with Zenith Consulting Engineers LLC regarding septic easement. I see Jamie. I'll turn it over to you, Jamie. >> Sure. How you doing? Good evening. Jamie

12
00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:46.159
Beset, Zenith Consulting Engineers here with the property owner. Um, we had previously submitted a bottomless sand filter plan, I believe, to the town and had it approved on site. Um, the owner of the property has, um, worked with the

13
00:03:46.159 --> 00:04:04.080
neighbor who formally owned the property and she has agreed to grant him an easement. Um, the easement would fall to the rear of the property um, behind his lot as if his lot was to extend. So, it's it's kind of useless area for her. Um the reason well it it extends

14
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:19.040
straight back. So she's willing to grant him an easement. Bob Mather's working on the easement. Um and the septic will go over the line thus allowing us the 100 foot set back to the well and us to meet the property line setbacks. Uh less variances than what we had with the

15
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:36.639
bottomless input. Um the reason we're not doing a property transfer to require zoning board of appeals approvals um for the two undersized lots to become more non-conforming. Um and so what we're looking for tonight is approval to be able to put the septic

16
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:53.440
system partially on his own property, partially with an easement that is off of his property. Um understanding we don't have the easement and I did speak with the the abuter who's granting the easement, Mrs. Steinberg. uh she had a family emergency. Um said that she couldn't attend tonight, but that she

17
00:04:53.440 --> 00:05:09.600
was going to reach out to attorney Mather, find out the progress with this. Um we would be fully uh understanding that this if the board was to consider an approval, it'd be pending receipt of the recorded easement in place prior to construction.

18
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:25.440
>> That would be my only condition. >> Understood. >> Other than that, it's fine. >> Yeah. The one thing I do want to point out is we did take the 50% reduction. I'm sure Ed saw that. I'm guessing you guys did too. We do have advanced treatment put in here. Um, so it does provide some denitrification as well,

19
00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:40.400
but we wanted to keep the system as small as we could so that we could fit it within that area. >> And the easement um is just going to be just big enough for this system, right? So if anything ever, >> we're we're showing a larger easement than that. I actually asked Miss

20
00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:56.639
Steinberg. I said, you know, and what do you want to show for an easement on here? Do you want it just around the septic? and she said, "No, you just go straight back with it for now. That's fine." I don't know what the easement's going to say. I'm guessing it's going to say septic and, you know, and repair thereof.

21
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:12.960
>> Um, >> at a minimum. >> Okay. And now, um, this wouldn't need to show a reserve or anything. Not cuz it's pre-existing. You just >> Yeah. >> You're trying to put two septics. >> Yeah. So, we had the bottomless sand filter pinned 5T to the property lines.

22
00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:30.400
We got waiverss for that. This right here um is taking us I guess a step better than the bottomless sand filter. You've got the tight tank, then you've got the BSF as a step up, and then you've got this. This is variances and local upgrades with more of a conventional type field. Um so

23
00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:46.639
>> both houses are hooking up to water, right? >> Both are hooked up. They're already Yeah, they're already tied in. >> Okay. >> Yep. And then the the well has to get decommissioned on lot 13 which is a separate issue when >> so and has that already been done Ed? >> Um I haven't been notified. It is on

24
00:06:46.639 --> 00:07:03.840
your other um 13 Beachwood plant that it is to be decommissioned but we have not had anything um supposed to be done by a licensed well drill and we haven't received anything yet. >> So we did submit uh two plans at the same time. One for 15 and one for 13. 13 has a proposed tank that's tying into

25
00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:20.000
the existing field which passed Title 5. Um, so I guess before the COC would be issued on that, I'm guessing that you guys would make sure the wall was decommissioned per the plan. >> Yeah, definitely. >> Okay. And then, um, is there going to have to be some sort of time frame if

26
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:35.520
two different contractors are doing this seeing how the that tank has to be removed that's on the property line because you don't have an easement for that tank over the line. for that. When is that coming out? And >> paying for both contract, both systems, right? So >> that's what I'm aware. Yes.

27
00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:51.520
>> My understanding is that Sean Conway is going to be putting the system in. Um she's already picked up the plans. She's already told me that he's putting it in. Um so lotsim lots. She's paying for both of them. She sold him the property with

28
00:07:51.520 --> 00:08:07.280
the contingency that the septic was going to go in on her dime. Um so that being said, Sean and I have already talked about this. see who's going to start over here. And obviously you've got, you know, you've got the leeching field still, but before you can take this tank out, you have to be ready to

29
00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:22.879
plop both tanks in. >> You can put her tank in ahead of time and not mess up anything. Then you come over, you you knock out this tank and put the new one in right away. >> So contingent that getting signed off would want the other tank in too. >> Oh, absolutely. >> You do at the same time.

30
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:37.279
>> Yeah, >> that's my >> Yeah, cuz if not, you flush a toilet. You have one ticked off homeowner. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> I got nothing extra to add. >> No. Is there anyone here to speak to this one?

31
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:54.320
>> I see no one to add any other comments. >> Um, green carts. Did you get those back? >> Much better situation now. >> They're both hooked up to the water and they're both going to have their own wheels to pass. >> Mhm.

32
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:11.040
>> Can't beat that. >> You guys good? I'm good. I'll make a motion that we approve for 15 Beachwood A um uh a reduction to the required setback

33
00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:28.160
to the soilation system to from 10 ft to allow it to go over the property line with the condition that the AB butters tank is installed and both systems are working properly or Edge signs off from either one.

34
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:44.160
>> And an easement is recorded. >> And the easement is recorded. >> Second. Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I I do you care to read the ahead of time or can if Bob types it up, can we record it and just bring you the easement recorded?

35
00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:59.440
>> Um, yeah, it can be recorded. I mean, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. So, um, yeah. Yeah. But if if there was an error, I would have to send it back, but I I have no problem with him first. Perfect. Thank you so much. >> Just to have him take a trip. >> I agree. >> Just so you don't have to do it twice.

36
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:17.720
Yeah. Just in case two eyes are better than one. Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you. Good luck. >> All right. Next on the agenda to Windham Road new stable permit. >> Come up to the table with the mics.

37
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:39.120
real quick. >> Okay. >> Some water. Can you show where you going to put your manure pile? We had trouble. So, this is your house. That's your shed where you put your Well, can you show where you >> So, up here on the high ground?

38
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:55.200
>> Yeah. So, back in. >> Yeah. >> And back here or just back here? >> Back here. >> Okay. That's all. >> It has to be 100 ft set back from the well. Correct. >> Um, not 100, but 100 is good.

39
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:10.079
>> Okay. >> We've got 100. We've got 100 back there. So, >> okay. >> This one wasn't in your notes. Are you okay with this? Which which one? >> The stable. I didn't see it in your notes, was it? >> Um, >> any comments on it?

40
00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:35.440
>> Yeah. No. Um, other than um we had trouble with the location of the um That's a little um this is um this is going back this way. So this is

41
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:53.120
going to stay 100 ft. So probably over here somewhere. >> Oh. >> So they going we'll pass that back to a wall for stable. >> It's actually 50. They said 100 better if you can get 100. They say they can get 100. It's not showing the whole

42
00:11:53.120 --> 00:12:14.240
>> from the neighbor too. We just ask >> all of them. Yeah. >> And do we know where the pasture is going to be? That was another question you had. Right. Uh the paddic. >> Yeah. Um >> it's right off of the shed. >> Okay. >> Which is 20 ft from the property line. >> Yeah. We have a set back. So, you have

43
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:29.519
to make sure you're 20 ft from your neighbor's property. >> Mhm. >> Um, so that'll all have to be inspected. So, that fence is not up yet. >> No, >> the posts are out. The barn inspector was out last night. >> Okay. Jared came out. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> We didn't want to put anything up and

44
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:45.680
then have him say no. >> Was Jared okay with everything? >> Yeah. He said he was going to recommend for approval. >> Okay. >> He did mention one thing. Um, he said he thought you may u want a second horse. >> Yeah, that's correct. >> Potentially. Okay. Yeah, cuz we were informed of that.

45
00:12:45.680 --> 00:13:02.959
>> Well, we we only own the one at the moment. We would like to in the future get a companion animal of the same size. >> Okay. If when you do that, you will have to come back before the board. >> Okay. >> Or you can ask the board now to to have two companion animals. >> Um yeah, he suggested that the board

46
00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:19.200
would be able to approve all in one go as we have the acreage required. >> We we have to tell them that up until now. >> The paperwork says one. So we could change we could change that to two now. >> Okay. >> Even though you don't have two >> two involved, >> but I do believe we charge you for two.

47
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:34.320
Even though if you don't that's the way it works, right? >> If you get approval tonight for two, we will you will have to pay for two. Um so if you're not going to do it, you're paying extra. But if you are going to do it, you don't have to come back here before the board a second time. >> Yeah, I think we'd like to move forward

48
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:49.839
with the two as long as the board's okay with that. And that fence, are you comfortable where the property line was? Did you have it surveyed or? >> Yeah. So, with the the existing foundation of the house, the corner is 47 ft from the neighbor's property line, and we're not even going 20 quite 20 ft

49
00:13:49.839 --> 00:14:05.600
that way with the fence. So, um, per the previous survey, it should be well, you know, set back beyond 20 ft. >> All right. Cuz we've run into, we don't require people to have a engineer survey it, but we've had people end up building their stuff over the property line. and

50
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:21.600
it turns into a nightmare after. So, >> as long as you guys are very comfortable with where the line is and your neighbors are good with it cuz >> Yeah, >> it turns into a way bigger expense than just paying somebody if you if you're going to try to stay as close to the 20 ft as you can, you know, you don't have any room for error.

51
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:37.760
>> Mhm. >> Right. And we've spoken to the directed butter on the other side and she's perfectly fine with the horse being there >> when she sells the house and the next one's come in. >> Yeah. So the >> I've been doing this 15 years. >> The the barn is an existing structure

52
00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:53.760
obviously. So we're we're just putting, you know, a a livestock fence around the barn. Um so we'll just make sure that we stay at least 20 ft from the neighbor's property line. >> Okay. And it'll just be >> Yeah. So there's no waiverss they're

53
00:14:53.760 --> 00:15:09.920
asking for or anything like that. It's just a traditional thing. And again, they had to because they had to notify all the abuters >> and there's no abuters here to speak to it in the audience. >> Nobody else here at all here. So >> I don't have a problem to go with two and Jared has to go back out once the

54
00:15:09.920 --> 00:15:25.920
fence is complete. >> Correct. >> Before Okay. >> Yeah. He's old. Is that right? >> How can you say no to these little ponies? They're like the cutest things. >> I haven't seen one since I was at Halmore last companion one for the prize deal.

55
00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:41.760
very small. >> Then I'll make a motion that we approve the stable permit at two Windham Road, amending it to allow them to have two horses on the property pending Jared's final inspection.

56
00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:57.040
>> Second. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I I >> I should be good. That's it. Right. Can I just give you a check for another $30 now or >> um you can or you can you can do it um at the office if you have it all

57
00:15:57.040 --> 00:16:11.040
prepared. I'll >> do you need the return slips from the abuters? >> Yeah, I do need those. >> Um but for the check, you can you can mail it. You can do it now if it's if you've already made it up. >> I haven't made it up yet. I can I can >> Yeah, that's fine.

58
00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:29.440
>> So, everything's in there. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Good night, guys. Have a good one. >> Thank you. Have a good night. >> You too. Next on the agenda, discuss mass Ready Act, bill S 3064.

59
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:45.839
Um, it's something bill that is getting proposed to be passed. Um, I don't know if Chris wants to speak to it or Ed has the bill that looks like a encyclopedia over there. Um, >> I mean, it was brought to my attention

60
00:16:45.839 --> 00:17:01.920
that the the the state was trying to do some things where they could loosen up local regulations to allow things going like to supersede local regulations that Ben established. And I thought it was interesting considering we just added

61
00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:18.160
new regulations that were very similar to this. Um, and I figured it was worth discussion and seeing if we wanted to there's a a letter, a stock letter that comes with it you can send off to the to representatives to vote same way. I

62
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:33.039
don't know if we'd want to use that specific one, but I don't know if I figured it was worth a discussion to see if we wanted to voice our opinion considering we just spent a considerable amount of time changing stuff to make sure we kept things cleaner and and

63
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:49.440
better for especially for the wells and these shared systems. And I feel like the state's trying to like stop people from doing it. Like it's it's counterintuitive to protecting things, I think. Um, I know Ed looked into it a little bit more. I don't know if he wants to add some more to it. Um,

64
00:17:49.440 --> 00:18:05.679
>> yeah, you can read the paragraph you had highlighted, but just what we're talking about just so people understand what we're talking about. >> Yeah, I mean, it's 166 pages, but um, on page 161, they they mention that the elimination of restrictive lot

65
00:18:05.679 --> 00:18:21.840
size requirements and wastewater and wetland standards that do not exceed health or environmental standards. So basically they're saying that any town that has something that exceeds the state standard in in the thing for wastewater which is us and wetlands

66
00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:37.840
which is the conservation commission they would not be um they would be exempt from what they call priority housing projects. Now they haven't really defined what a priority housing project you were saying it might be like a 40B or something like that.

67
00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:54.160
>> That's my guess. some some new type of zone that's similar to a 40 or something. But and I read through a little bit and they did say that they're they're encouraging towns to make like this town has no zoning for any multifamilies, not even a duplex and they're encouraging towns to start

68
00:18:54.160 --> 00:19:10.880
adopting that. Um, I would be happy to send a letter back to the state and I would like to explain why we adopted that what we just did about the septic system so close to a well and you

69
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:26.720
know and say look at this is what we just added. We think it should be actually adopted within the whole state but um these are the reasons why and and send it back to them. Yeah. especially with everything that happened

70
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:42.799
on the Cape and the and the South well what actually changed on the Cape with Title 5 and what almost changed on the South Coast with the nitrogen stuff and and all the coastal areas they're already they're getting tighter themselves like and we were trying to be stay ahead of the game thinking at some

71
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:59.039
point it's going to come further inland especially in areas like us where we have a lot more resource stuff to be worried about um I feel like we were just being proactive just especially these big giant shared systems that it seems like it's becoming more and more of a thing cuz it's easier to get under

72
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:16.240
the 10,000 gallons a day so D doesn't have to deal with it. But I don't know. And again, anyone watching, we're talking about we just passed that Title 5 says you have to be 100 ft away from a well and most houses have 330 or 440

73
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:32.960
gallons, 3 or four bedrooms a day uh flow to them. But it didn't specify that if somebody puts a shared system in for 20 houses with 10,000 well 9,999 gallons, it could still be 100 ft from your well. basically putting a whole

74
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:50.880
streets worth of uh nitrates next to your well. So, we adopted it that they had to have it far away and >> had to have a treatment. >> Or treatment. Yeah. Either have to show that you can have a distance that's not going to affect it or have treatment.

75
00:20:50.880 --> 00:21:08.240
And I would like to just send a letter explaining that to them and saying this is why we did this and maybe CCD on it too cuz I'm shocked that they haven't considered doing something like that themselves. >> And I agree. I think um I mean we make

76
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:25.280
local regulations to try to help and protect the town >> not and just have the state say you don't have to. >> Yeah. Uh the irony of this is a lot of this um law is saying that there's a lot of

77
00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:41.440
money going to nitrogen reduction in the Cape and other areas. >> Yeah. >> But then they're taking away from our protections of nitrogen reduction. So I mean I can try to write something saying look if you want to make priority housing that's fine but just don't take

78
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:56.720
away our protections from >> the protection we've added for what I just said. >> Yeah. Exactly. So the other stuff like we don't care if you have wet um you take away the the wetland regulations are exempt. We have no issues with that. But it's just the one especially the

79
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:12.000
nitrogen which like say is in the spirit of this um bill. I mean most of the bill is not most of it but a good portion of it is directing money towards wastewater treatment and nitrogen reduction. So,

80
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:27.360
>> I think we're all in agreement to write a letter and send it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I can I CAN WRITE THE LETTER. >> I'LL RUN IT by you guys before uh I send it. Um and then I'll send it. You want you want your D and the representative.

81
00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:44.880
>> Yeah. And I'd hit I'd hit um nitrogen load as many sentences as you can throw that in there. >> Okay. Yeah. And the break we just passed. You can even state when we just voted to pass this >> to try to help protect >> public, you know, >> and that we are in um

82
00:22:44.880 --> 00:23:01.039
>> you know, we do have a drinking water um supply in this and and our waterershed is >> does um does supply a good close to quarter million people uh water throughout the state. So, I mean, it's not it's not just our town. It's we're supplying water. I'd even throw

83
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:16.080
something in there that not only did we pass this, but we think the state should seriously consider passing it cuz we're not trying to stop anybody, but we're just trying to make it safe. >> Yeah. >> How do they argue with that? >> Yeah, >> somebody will, but how can they?

84
00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:32.799
>> I mean, the the advanced treatment stuff that's out there now is they're trying to they've been piloting stuff that's cheaper, too. So, >> it's not like this stuff's going to cost a ton of money. It's, you know, it's like an, you know, that stuff on the Cape that I saw that the the tanks with

85
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:49.200
the wood chips and the the limestone. >> If that gets approved, like it's showing like 90 90% removal of nitrogen, >> like that's and it's it's just a tank with wood chips and it it may have a blow. I think it's got some mechanical

86
00:23:49.200 --> 00:24:07.039
stuff with it, too. But I mean, it's not a $60,000 freaking bottomless sand filter at Advantex, but >> and and the other thing is I think part of it too is a lot of towns just have regulations all over the place on waste water and they're not spec like we've

87
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:22.720
concentrated on on nitrates because that's one of the biggest problems in our town. So ours was very focused and very limited whereas other towns just say okay every lot you have to have this and they may be trying to exempt some of those laws like say some towns okay

88
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:38.640
every lot you can't do anything within 100 ft of a wetland so I think they're trying to get away from that but ours are not like that at all and we'll we'll specify that in our letter >> no like you said we're very sensitive we supply water to two towns we're sitting

89
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:54.799
on half the towns over the aquifer and stuff. It's >> It's important we protect it. >> Did we should we make a motion for that or we just there's a discussion? >> I'll make the motion. We ask just so we're covered. Yep. >> We ask you to write a letter and have it

90
00:24:54.799 --> 00:25:09.919
reviewed by us for comments because I don't want to wait too long and not have it get there in time and uh to state everything we've just discussed. >> I'll second that. >> Any discussion? All those in favor? I >> I >> I

91
00:25:09.919 --> 00:25:27.120
>> Okay. And then the last uh two things I will put together um turn it over to Ed discuss the recent board of health agent pending items and the announcements if we have anything on mosquitoes or announcements on anything coming up in town.

92
00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:42.640
>> Um so the the only announcement is there's been a recall on um it's called NAR N A organic. It's an infant formula. Um, and apparently it's being recalled for botulism, which is pretty serious. Um, now we don't have any stores.

93
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:59.279
They're mainly sold in Target and target.com and a narrow.com. But just to anyone um any Lakeville residents or anyone watching, um, it's a it's a blue thing with a cow on it front. It's called NANx

94
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:16.320
formula. um please don't use it and contact the the manufacturer about what to do with it when doing it. Um the thing with botulism um if you gave this to your infant a lot of times the symptoms don't show for a week or two. Um, so it's it's just something like if

95
00:26:16.320 --> 00:26:31.440
you had ever bought this um formula, even if you bought it a couple weeks ago, you really need to watch your infant and any signs of um you know, like droopiness and you know, inattentiveness and things like that, you know, call your pediatrician because

96
00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:48.720
like I said, it may have been the from the botulism. So, >> okay, >> that it >> and they started spraying for I think you announced the last one mosquitoes. Do you want to bring up that again? Just anybody and you can still get your tires

97
00:26:48.720 --> 00:27:05.600
something. >> Yeah. So, the Plymouth County mosquito uh control is spraying now. It's a free service. You can do it eight times per year. Um town of Lakeville has already used it twice. Uh we usually do it like every two or three weeks throughout the year to try to keep the numbers down. Um

98
00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:22.240
it's it's just a really great service. Yeah. And in um not right now, but in the winter time they they remove tires. So if you have a lot of tires on your property where there's, you know, that's accumulating water and things like that, um they will remove those as well. But I think during the summer months, they

99
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:38.720
they kind of focus on the spring. Um and also if you do have any standing water, just just try to get rid of it. Um, like I said, so if you do have tires or anything, just try to dump it. If you can't dump it, if it's like a boat or something, if you have, they call them dunks. They're like little donuts. You

100
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:55.440
just take it in there. It's a larvaite. It's not really damaging, harmful. Um, some people put them in storm sewers and things like that, you know, because a lot of catch basins have a sump in them, so you have water in there all the time. If you think mosquitoes are breathing in there, you can actually put it in there and it'll prevent it. And it won't harm

101
00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:10.159
anything else. It just harms the the larvae for the mosquito. It's very mild. >> Okay. >> Lone star ticks. >> Yeah, I think did we mention that last time? >> We didn't mention that last time.

102
00:28:10.159 --> 00:28:26.720
>> Yeah. Um so lonear ticks um um apparently they are in Lakeville. Some people are reporting them. Um there have been sightings and things like that. Um we haven't got one um an alpha gal case in um Lakeville yet, but um that's one

103
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:43.279
of the diseases that lonear ticks do carry. Um so it is here. It's just we haven't got the the case yet, but like or we haven't it hasn't been reported to us yet. >> How bad is that allergy? >> Like is it anactic?

104
00:28:43.279 --> 00:29:00.159
>> Yeah, it it's it's a allergic reaction. Um, so it's an allergic reaction to mamalian products, which can be meat, pork, or even dairy. Um, really depends on the person. Some people get it really severe. They actually have to carry an EpiPen with them. So, it's very severe.

105
00:29:00.159 --> 00:29:15.200
Other people it's not quite as severe. Um, and for some people, some people can drink milk, but they can't eat red meat. Really varies. And a lot of it depends on the person itself, you know. So, it's it's it's kind of a new thing. So, we really don't know that much, but it for

106
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:30.640
some people it's really very serious and they have to totally change their diet and everything to to um to deal with it, you know. >> Okay. Anything else for the board to discuss? Bring up motion to adjourn. >> Second.

107
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:35.000
>> All in favor? Bye. >> Hi.
