On August 12, 2021, our office received a call from Eileen Schoener, of Elder Services. She indicated that Ms. Soldana's case had been elevated from their assistance program to protective services. Ms.Schoener stated that Ms. Soldana is an excellent candidate for clean-up assistance because she does not drive and does not have the financial or other means to re-clutter the home once it is cleaned up. The process will take several weeks, as they must first get cost estimates and then schedule the clean-up work to be done. She was provided with a copy of the order letter,so she could ensure all violations would be addressed. The Assistant Health Agent stopped by the property to check on the occupant and to see if any progress had been made with the removal of items within the dwelling. The Assistant Agent reported that not much had been done. On September 1,2021,the occupant's daughter and the occupant called to state that the occupant would be requesting a postponement of the hearing as the occupant had to go to the doctor for pre-surgery medical help. The occupant also stated that a truck was to come next week to take some items away. The occupant was told that the next meeting would be on the 23rd at 6 pm. There being no further comments or discussion Kripani Patel motioned to continue the hearing of 48 Tri-Town Circle to the next meeting. Motioned seconded by Ernest Virgilio.

In regard to vaccinations, no requests for information have been made to the Board of Health office. The Fire Chief has scheduled two clinics at Christ the King Church with the help of the Community Health Center. They are scheduled for September 8th and 29th with Pfizer vaccine. A vaccination clinic set up at Naukabout Brewery to get more of the crowd that is resisting the vaccine, is one idea. Waiting to hear back from Peter Murner. Next choice could be Cape Cod Coffee. Calls have come in to the health department on the third shot or booster. The health department has been communicating with the schools regarding their start up procedures regarding masks,seating distances,etc. Stacey Schakel,the School Nurse Coordinator is set up to start contact tracing again and communication between the VNA and CTC have been re- established.

Title 5 Variance Request — 23 Jeep Place. Mr. Raul Lizardi, Engineer for Cape and Island Engineering, introduced himself for the record. Mr. Lizardi explained that the project was for a proposed 2 car garage.The existing leaching field in the backyard previously had two variances in 2001 and 2003, one for leaching field and the other for septic. The location of proposed garage makes a corner of existing leaching field too close to the slab. He asking for a variance to reconfigure the leaching field, keep the other two variances from 2001 & 2003 but add another variance for the slab. There will be no increase of flow and a liner will be used. Mr. Lizardi explained that this same plan and application was to go in front of Conservation because of the close coastal bank. Mr. Harrington asked for clarification about the liner. Was it used with the original insulation? Mr. Lizardi answered, that is how the plan was approved. Mr. Harrington 2
