Good evening everybody. Uh thank you for coming. This is uh the Townson Border Health. Today is November 10th, 6:00 p.m. Uh 62 p.m. Uh
roll call. Dr. Christian Roman Ramirez, chairman. >> Charles Paul Serene, vice chair. Um we haven't received any communication from from our clerk, Mr. Todd Arsenal. So um we have a quorum
um to establish tonight's business meeting addition additions and deletions. I don't have any. >> Do you have any additional >> any other? So 1.3 is tell you 1.3.
Um so we go ahead um for the business 1.3 septic permits for review >> and we don't have any so we just deleted that. >> Oh okay perfect. Um we have 1.498
Wallace Hill Road upgrade upgrade with request for brownwater offset reduction. What is this? So this is a existing house that's uh for sale bail and under agreement. Um they had a failing system
which is located right here. Uh they are are served by Town Water uh which comes in the front and they're looking to install a um 1500-gallon [clears throat] septic tank followed by a 1000gallon septic tank and that'll gravity feed
down to a 32 by 13 1/2 ft presby field um as part of the proposal they are requesting and it's not a local upgrade approval it's not a variance it's actually written into the approve states approval for the presby system uh twoft
reduction to groundwater. So from uh 4T to 2 ft uh to allow for you just some some light grading in the area. Um and there they are kind of minimal
slopes going through. So it would be help build up the ground level >> a little bit. Um so it's coming up maybe about 6 in or so. Um the the bigger issue is just the um getting there by by um gravity of the >> Okay.
>> And so um uh they did put a filter in, they've got a bypass vent that goes back through to allow for um the the system to vent through the roof vent. Um but other than the two foot groundwater reduction, it is in full compliance with their rigs and title 5.
>> So where is the water offset water reduction? Is it over? >> So it's from the bottom of the field. So typically from the groundwater elevation to the bottom of field based on an 11m minutee perk it would be a 4ft offset and this particular technology allows
down to a 2 ft which is what they're asking for. >> Okay. >> And there they are in in legal coordinates. Correct. Yep. >> Okay. Uh, can I get a motion to approve
98 Wis Hill Drive upgrade press for groundwater offset reduction propose a >> motion for 98 Wallace Hill Road. >> Okay. Um,
you second the motion. >> I'll second the motion. And all in favor say I. >> I. >> It's approved. Before moving forward, um we need to know if anybody is reporting this meeting. If if so, please um let us
know. If not, we continue with the meeting. This one that's approved. to hold on to it for a little submitted last week. >> And we have 1.520
Blood Road upgrade. This is uh also an existing house with a failing system uh that they're looking to replace right now. The system's right over here. The wells on on this side and that's 100 foot radius for the well. So
they had to push it outside of that to meet compliance. Um but it's only a twobedroom with a sandy soils. So uh fairly small in uh in footprint. So, it's a 2500 or sorry, 1500gallon tank, 1,000gallon tank, and that'll gravity
feed to two uh 22 foot long trenches that 3 ft wide and 2 ft deep. Um and and again, it's in full compliance for with the array. So, uh for operate regulations. All right. >> Any questions? Any concerns?
Can I get a motion to approve on 20 blood road upgrade? >> The motion for 20 road to approve the upgraded system. >> Okay, I'll second that. All in favor say I. I. Well,
you can stand right here and stay comfortable. Yeah, because I want to find out what you want about that. Okay. Okay, very long. Thank you. We have 1.6 nonprofit organization permit fees request.
So, this was um every year we do annual food service permitting. And at NOVA, we don't charge a fee uh for nonprofits. And so the question came up of whether the uh towns and fee of $50 would be
paid by those nonprofits because we really didn't distinguish between the two when the um decision was made to to increase it from what was it before $5 at one point and >> I think it went from >> 52050. Um and so the the question came up this
year from a couple of the nonprofits. You do we have to pay that towns and local fee um where we're not paying the one. So it's really a >> town. >> So there's only one other town that collects uh fees. I believe it's either
Bolton or Berlin and they do not collect the fee for for the nonprofits. Um I think theirs is only5 or $10. So it's you significantly less. >> Yeah. I would go by the definition of what it is a nonprofit
because starting from there because let's say that um uh I mean uh it's not only churches right but organizations that are covered by by
this >> how you going to distinguish >> so there's there's I wouldn't want to charge a church but there are nonprofits that are >> Yeah I mean there's quite a few different nonprofits and you know generally we just say if you have the paperwork to show that you're a nonprofit we won't charge you. Uh but it would be like you churches, Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, um you know, schools, uh other other organizations that might fall into kind of that nonprofit umbrella. >> I have no problem. I'm not charging. >> All right. Hey, um let's put it on vote
then. Roll call. Uh Dr. Christian Roman Ramirez uh in favor of maintaining the nonprofit organization permit fees request which means not moving forward with that.
>> I second that. >> Okay. >> I'm going to make pro. >> Oh, Charles Paul Serene vice chair. >> Okay. >> Very well. >> Rick, we're closed tomorrow so I will not see you. So, I'll see you on um on
Thursday the next. >> I am thinking about working on tomorrow just because I might need to take some time off on Friday. Okay. So, um cuz it's funny video right now. We Now we go to >> 1.7. See you, Rick. Thank you. All
right. Good night. Thank you, Rick. Curbside trash and recycling contract update. >> All set. Legal's okay it came in. It's already up in the selectman's office. This is the original signature notoriization.
You as the >> board of health right here. Obviously Todd's not going to be able to be here, but it's important that you sign this. I would like you to sign two other copies just in case something happens to it. We've we've got the blue and the the black so we know which is the copy and
which is. But um that would be terrific. You've already made a motion to that you approve this contract. was just pending the legal discussion. >> Okay. Tom responded on my way. Um 607.
>> Today is the 10th. >> 11. Should I tell I don't bother? >> No. let him come in so he can sign this. Okay. >> Okay. >> And for the public um just for the

>> I'll second that. Roll call. Dr. Christian Roman Ramirez in favor of the contract. I Charles Paul Serene in favor of the contract I >> thank you 10 25
we'll see we have all three >> did you get a chance to look at the minutes waiting for since she's 9 September. >> We have to sign one copy. >> Um it would be great if Christian would just sign one as long as you're okay
with that. We have here so >> Okay. And one question is it possible Carla that that contract could be and I don't know at what extent can it
be can can it be published because it's a public record on on um on the border house website or no just for transparency. >> We most certainly can. >> How you doing sir? >> Hi Mr. the scarecrow.
>> Sorry. Sorry. >> When we're over the contract. >> Okay. Yes. >> Sign the contract. >> Sure. Yes. >> So, is there a possibility that we can place it on the website then?
>> Two more for backup. So once the select board signs it then I wish I wish it to be published so that the people can have access to what um what their um I want the people to see what we're
doing right and and and we the board of health we've been distinguish as being transparent with the people and I want this contract to be uh part of of of our documents that that we have um for that
>> um I don't know if um any any anyone opposed or having it placed on the website once it's has the signatures of the select board and >> if it's proper and legal has no problem with it I do not have problems with
>> well legally it's a public document now we don't >> right but it's at some point there might be stuff in there Glenn doesn't want his competition >> well he is the thing I mean it's as as Carla said it's a public document so
>> yeah I get it good point >> one of the night >> he's the same >> um next um for the warrant you you have backup here and I know you're going to ask me about the show so I'm going to
pull that um Carla um winter supplies uh clothing $12324. Shaws um their invoices for
the September and October which we now have is in September it was 42.71 tons of recycling which was always in
the 60s. So that was huge. And the trash was down to 102.43. Great. Well, they expected it. >> Okay. >> Can you say one more time? So, >> Sure. The recycling was 42.71
tons and the trash was 102.43 in September. >> September. September. >> So, that made the bill $56,8.90. And then we come back to October and recycling is at 5214. Again, great because it's less than the 60, but
the trash is up to 119.87 and and I have concern with that because it shouldn't be that high, especially where the dumpsters in the town October. >> What's that? >> You said that was October. >> That's October. >> So October, Say that one more time. October came in 109.
>> Um, it came in 119.87 87 and the recycling was 52.14 and that bill was at $59,18.85. We are still under forecast. >> A lot of candy. >> We're still under forecast. >> Okay. >> Okay.
>> So, we're still under forecast, but that that is what the bills are for Shaw's going forward. Um, we also have AT&T, my normal cell phone usage,
$45.25. Um, the cameras at the recycling center, the annual software, it goes to September to December. It's $216 for the two cameras. So, um, that's very important that we keep that up. >> Okay. >> Um, Unatil
went up $100. I don't know what's with them. Um it was $45 last last month and it's $142.46 this month. >> Imagine that. >> Um Chefco um came in and did the landfill mowing at $4,800 and then they
do separately the landfill recycling area weed whacking and we like to keep those two separate. So that was 750. Then Ashoba board of health you have their fees which is >> wonderful. >> That's that's for a year. Oh, that's for
the wrong business. >> Yes, we're mandated by D to mow it. We we mow it every like 16 months. We we get away with a little over a year. >> Um but it's it's a really great price. It cannot be beat.
>> Um Shaw has come in with about $3,600 with the recycling center debris. Luckily, the wood and the plastic can come through a grant. So that's at um $1,85 comes out of our revolving and then the grant pays for $1,99125.
So right now what is coming from the enterprise is um is those two bills that you have for um from Shaws from >> there's all the only thing that's coming out of the enterprise account is the
recycling center curbside program which in September and October was $115,27.15. There's there's those those are for the recycling center. >> Oh, the Oh, separate. >> Okay. >> So, that's to pick up the bulky
furniture. That's what the general revolving has to, but we have grant money that will pay for the wood container and the plastic rigid plastics. >> Okay? And all the documentation is in here just so you can see it. But I just wanted to give you a breakdown of what
is there. Um, and if Christian can sign it after you guys looked at it, you've looked at the minutes. There's the invoices. What are your thoughts about having a meeting on the 24th, the week of Thanksgiving? We're pretty good right now. I think you could
>> I I don't I uh I don't think we should meet on on thanks on that week of Thanksgiving. I mean uh one of what are my chairman's my ch my my >> I'm taking the day off so I'll be around if we want to have a meeting but
