TOWN OF MASHPEE <br /> BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> May 18, 2000 <br /> Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. <br /> Members present: Steven R. Ball, L. Glenn Santos, Elias A. McQuaid and Veronica A. <br /> Warden <br /> THE TAPE IS NOT PART OF THE MEETING; IT IS FOR THE-PURPOSE OF <br /> TRANSCRIPTION ONLY. <br /> Mr. Steven R. Ball, Chairman <br /> 1. Sian warrants. Warrants signed. <br /> APPOINTMENT: Robert Taylor/Tribal Council re: Indian Museum, Main Street <br /> Mr. Robert Taylor of Taylor MacDougall Burns Architects, Mr. Maurice Foxx, Mr. Jim <br /> Peters and Mr. Vernon Lopez of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Council, Selectman <br /> Chuckie Green and Town Administrator Robert Whritenour were in attendance for this <br /> scheduled appointment. <br /> Mr. Taylor stated that they are anxious to get the project underway and needs to know' <br /> what the Board needs to be able to sign off on the building permit. He stated that they <br /> don't foresee that the addition of bathrooms will increase the facility usage. The house <br /> has a cesspool currently. A recent feasibility study indicated that the cesspool is <br /> sufficient to proceed with the remodeling. The site doesn't allow for a proper septic <br /> system due to the well location. When town water becomes available, they will hook <br /> up and then will be in a position to upgrade the septic system in the location of the <br /> current well. <br /> Mr. Whritenour stated that this project is a partnership between the Town and the <br /> Tribal Council. It will be a phased construction program. Phase II would include <br /> adding to the building and at that time they would upgrade the septic system. If the <br /> timing doesn't work out, they run the risk of losing a state grant for the project. <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated that in order to sign off on the building permit for the bathroom <br /> building the Board would require that the septic system be upgraded. <br /> Discussion took place regarding extending the requirement to upgrade the septic <br /> system and what timeframe would be reasonable. <br /> Mr. Santos motioned to allow Health Agent Elias McQuaid to sign off on the building <br /> permit for the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Museum renovation project with the <br /> stipulation that the Tribal Council upgrades the existing cesspool to a septic system <br /> within six years. Mr. Ball seconded the motion. Motion passed. <br />
