MINUTES June 1, 2000 12 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Eichner stated, "The record is open so if there is anything you can submit that..." Mr. Mahoney stated, "I will have the gentleman do it." Mr. Ball stated, "We'll take this last question before we either direct the agent or make a motion." Mr. Megathlin stated, "Thank you Mr. Chairman. We came here this evening hoping to resolve this issue and we've heard the opinions again from the Board of Health which we certainly appreciate your support. You've heard the legal issues indicated by Mike Bliss and you've heard the very strong opinion by Dennis Mahoney from Life. As Mike says, it seems to be a pretty cut and dried issue. What concerns me is that we've heard very vague comments about it's up to the subcommittee when Ed Eichner knows full well the subcommittee will act on what Ed Eichner suggests and recommends to them. And also, about the vague reference to the minutes, when we all know that Ed Baker is the one who has supplied these minutes to the Cape Cod Commission and basically that's the public that he's talking about. So, it's really one or two people that are objecting to this and I really would like to know what the position of Ed is going to be in front of the subcommittee. Because that is what we need to hear. From this group tonight it seems very clear to me what he should say but I would kind of like to know what he has to say." Mr. Ball stated, I don't know if Ed wants to get into that at this time. Mr. Eichner stated, "I think it's up to you as well. This is really a Commission kind of discussion as far as I'm concerned." Mr. Ball added, "All we can do is make our recommendations to the Cape Cod Commission and direct Elias to send out a letter. This will be the last letter well send out on this. No more." Mr. Doherty stated, "IM move that the Board direct the agent to forward a letter to the Commission stating our support for either the issuance or the transfer, whichever is appropriate, of the nitrogen credits to the Talanian project based on the discussions tonight that although we would have liked to have seen, and we certainly would have encouraged Life at Mashpee to install a denitrification system, no regulation was in place at that time to enforce that and since the connection to that particular system benefits the environment for everyone, we feel that it's only proper that the Talanian project receive credit for that amount of wastewater discharge." Mr. Santos seconded the motion. Motion passed. OLD BUSINESS a. Recreational Camps Mr. McQuaid stated that the state regulations for recreational camps have changed. Now such recreational camps have to be licensed by the Board of Health and we don't have a fee schedule for that. Mr. McQuaid recommended a fee of$50.00 per year for recreational camps, which is in line with other towns.
