Mike's coming up. All right. It is Wednesday, May 7th, 2025, 6 PM, and I'm going to open our posted public hearing for this evening. Can I bring you gabble or anything? Oh, make it official. Make it official.
All right. A legal notice. A public hearing will be held by the Lakeville Board of Health at the Lakeville Police Station at 323 Bever Street on May 7th, 2025 at 6 p.m. for proposed fee changes. The proposed fee changes may be obtained on the town of Lakeville website or from
the office of the board of health located at 241 Main Street, Lakeville, Mass during regular business hours. And this is signed by Derek Maxim, chairman of the board of health. Christopher Pratt, Rar Pali, board of health members. And at this moment, I'll make a
motion to open the hearing. Second. All right. Um So, the procedure is we're just going to go through the I'll say all those in favor. All in favor? I I didn't think we had a vote on the hearing one. Oh, you
opened it. You made a motion. So, you had to vote on a motion, right? You had a practice. Um so the procedure of the hearing is we you know we read the motion and the legal notice the motion and uh the summarization of the regulation is basically
we went through our fees. Um and we had a couple different meetings, um open public meetings for public discussion, meetings amongst the board with our agent and um because our agent had brought to us that some of our fees were lower than the surrounding towns and some costs had increased and um some
different things had happened in town that it made sense for our increases to go for our fees to go up a little bit on certain things. And those three areas are um for perk tests. The current fee was $150 for 3 hours. Now he switched it
to $150 for repair and $300 for a new system. Under tobacco, the current fees were $30 for for inspection and now they're going to go to $75 inspection. And for camps, it was $10 for a camp permit. Now it's $150. And to further
clarify that, um when the the $10 fee was implemented, um we just had small local resident type camps going on. Now during our summers, we have a lot of out of town and and big big camps that come in in that are forprofit camps. So the
uh time taken to to do all the permitting is a much longer process. So we felt that the fee rising would uh was justified. Um so that's a summary. Anyone have any comments or
questions? Just so everybody knows, there's no one here. So, we're asking, but there's nobody here for this meeting. All right. Um, I'll make a motion we close the public hearing and then we
vote on the or do we vote first and then do we close the We got to vote first. Yeah, vote. Make a motion then we close. Once it's No, not we don't close yet. This is backwards. We make the motion then we close. Yeah. So, and I've already summarized most of
it, so you can just make the straight motion going there. I'll make a motion that we make the changes in the three fees as we stated. Uh, we're not removing anything at this time. I'll second that. Any discussion? All
those in favor? I I make a motion that we close the public hearing. Second. Any discussion? All those in favor? I I All right. At this time, I will call the regularly scheduled Lakeville Board
of Health meeting to order for May 7th, 2025. And the first thing on our agenda is And nobody's here to record this except Lake Cam. This is true. Yeah, I got you back, buddy. So, you say Lake Cam is recording. Yeah. So, yeah, I said

um and like I said, it's it's okay right now. I think they just pumped it, but like I said, it does need to be done pretty quickly. Yeah. So you're saying we already voted for this? So we just voted now then to release the money. Yeah. Sorry. You you approved the plan. Okay. You did not approve the betterment. This is the betterment.

and they'll be happy to help you. All right. Next, the agenda is approve review and approve meeting minutes for February 5th, 2025. I'd like to make a motion we continue this to the next meeting because Derek was here and he's not here tonight in case he had any
questions. Second that. Any discussion? All those in favor? I I the agenda discuss any recent board of health agent pending items. Ed uh the big one is it's start mosquito season is starting. you know, they're they're out
not in big things and there's not really a risk of triple E right now, but like I said, later in the year. So, just um any standing water, just try to try to get rid of it. We do the board of health does have um what they call drops. It's a um lava side that you put in there.
They don't harm anything but the mosquito lava side, the lava, the mosquito lava. It won't harm anything else. It won't harm the fish or anything else like that. Um, so if you do have those, let us know. Like I said, the idea is to keep the numbers down now and
then later in the summer when you know the triple E and the West Nile virus is at much risk, there'll be fewer mosquitoes, thus fewer bitings, you know, fewer cases. Um, that's it. All right. You got
anything, Bob? I'm good. I do not have anything either. I'll make a motion to adjurnn. Second. All in favor? I I Come on.
