Glen Harrington advised the board members that the Board of Health does not actually issue Kennel Licenses. He stated that this request is for board approval and comment to the Site Plan Review Committee and to the Town Clerk who issues the kennel license. There is a current doggy daycare in the same building. This business will be a dog training facility but boarding is requested on occasion. Ms. McKeen indicated that she is not requesting to have an overnight doggy daycare facility, but stated that she has clients who request a board-while-training situation, and she would like to be able to accommodate that. She stated that dogs will never be outside the facility unattended and that, if she does get a barking or reactive dog, she plans to have that dog back for a private one- on-one session or to work with the dog somewhere in the community. Mr. Harrington confirmed with Ms. McKeen that,when the facility is being used to board animals, employees would not be permitted to sleep or reside at the operation. Trainers can work with the dogs and oversee them throughout the night, but no cots would be allowed due to it being a commercial space. Ms. McKeen asked if the electricity would need to be on for the inspections, and Mr. Harrington stated that Building/Fire would want to see lighted Exit signs, so the power would have to be on. He also stated that there would need to be running water. Ms. McKeen closed by thanking everyone present, and applauded Mashpee for being the best and easiest town to work with. There being no further discussion or questions, Laurel Almquist made a Motion to approve the request for Kennel License at 46 Nicoletta's Way, Unit 10, provided no employees sleep or reside at the operation. Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. VOTE: Unanimous (2-0). 5. Review and Approve FY 2020 Health Department Budget. Mr. Harrington stated that the budget was straightforward.
