h) Mr. Harrington added Section E(9)(d) due to its absence in the regulation. It was on the original list of policies that the board wanted to include in the regulation but it was not on the March 191h printed version. 500 feet was chosen as the distance by the board. i) Mr. Harrington added Section E(9)(f) so that smoking bars were addressed. He specified the free-standing buildings due to issues that the Tinder Box caused with Puritan Clothing in Mashpee Commons. He indicated that the HVAC/ventilation specifications need a good reference, and stated that he will work with the Building Department to get some requirements for the design and construction. j) Mr. Harrington completed Section K by including the exception for the free-standing displays in adult-only stores. Mr. Harrington stated that he had not had an opportunity to read all of the information, and would like more time to review and digest it. He suggested that, if the board wishes to adopt the regulation at some point, implementation be phased in over several months,orthe effective date be delayed to allow retailers time to remove and/or sell their existing product. Mr. Harrington's comments to the CRR letter, and for vaping in general, were that we have no idea what is in the liquids they make, and that manufacturers and retailers will not take responsibility for the products they sell. Monsoor Java of 135 Main Street addressed the board, and raised the question of how to stop on-line purchases as well as how to stop adults from purchasing/distributing to minors. Mr.Java suggested that Mashpee have a dialogue with abutting towns regarding tobacco sales. He also suggested that an award letter or letter of appreciation be given to retailers who remain in compliance. Stacey Schakel, nurse at the K.C. Coombs School, introduced herself and stressed the need for and importance of parent education on tobacco and vaping. There being no further comments, Laurel Almquist made a Motion to schedule a public hearing to continue discussion on the Draft Tobacco Regulation. Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. VOTE: Unanimous (2-0). NEW BUSINESS 1. There were no Expense Warrants to sign. 2. There were no Meeting Minutes available for approval. 3. Request for 2018 Farmers Market—Mashpee Commons. Glen Harrington stated that,for several years now, Mashpee Commons has requested a weekly inspection/permit fee rather than having the BOH charge each vendor$50.00 individually each week. The board has approved this request annually and Mr. Harrington recommended that the board issue approval again this year with the same set of conditions: a. Rory Eames is considered the certified food manager to oversee the food vendors operations during the event, per 105 CMR 590.009(C). b. The fee for the market is $100.00 per week. Mashpee Commons has offered to pay. 3
