TOWN OF MASHPEE BOARD OF HEALTH — EXECUTIVE SESSION Mashpee Town Hall — Conference Room 3 Minutes of the Meeting of Wednesday, February 2, 2011 Board Members Present: Also Present: Kalliope Egloff, Chairman Glen Harrington, Health Agent Lucy Burton, Co-Chairman Burton Kaplan, Clerk Chairman Kalliope Egloff called the meeting to order at 8:16 PM. Glen Harrington distributed to the Board a copy of the Lakeside Estates first settlement agreement response, and stated that he needs to get back to Jena Munoz by Feb. 5, 2011 with the Board's comments on the conditions that are contained in the agreement. Settlement Agreement, Paragraph 1 Comments The Board had no problems with the terms of the video surveillance of the Trash Area. Settlement Agreement, Paragraph 4 Comments Kalliope Egloff asked whether an overflow of recycling containers would result in an increase in pickup, the same as it would for an overflow of solid waste. Glen stated that it should be written that if there is an increase in recycling volume then the container should also be increased in size. The Board needs to specify the container size required and not leave this up to the discretion of Mr. Haney. Glen Harrington added that more than one container may be necessary. The Board agreed that under paragraph#4, the word "bins" should be replaced with the word "receptacles". Glen Harrington commented on the statement that "MEZ shall arrange for its trash hauler to provide recycling pick-up services for the Subject Property so long as the same is at no additional cost to MEZ." Glen asked the question as to whether MEZ would no longer be responsible for the pickup service should Allied at the end of their contract decide to raise their price. The Board agreed that they cannot prohibit Allied from raising their price for pickup service, and that the phrase "so long as the same is at no additional cost to MEZ" should be deleted. Settlement Agreement, Paragraph 10 The paragraph states that the" BOH and its agents shall not come upon the Subject Property except upon the invitation of MEZ Realty, or in accordance with law otherwise permitting the same. " Glen Harrington's comments on this were that it would need to be understood that the BOH can enter upon invitation by the occupants for complaints, and also a MEZ agent would need to be available or the BOH will respond to items that may be an emergency where notification is not required and the Board will take action as necessary to abate the emergency. Glen Harrington added that the BOH needs to get a letter that states Mr. Brian Justice is the Manager of Lakeside Estates. The Board agreed that Glen Harrington request that Jena Munoz strike out paragraph 10 from the settlement agreement. 1
