TOWN OF MASHPEE BOARD OF HEALTH July 13, 1989 Meeting called to order at 7 pm. Members present: George R. Costa, Stephen J. Greelish and John T. Doherty. THE TAPE IS NOT PART OF THE MEETING. IT IS FOR THE PRUPOSE OF TRANSCRIBING MINUTES. Mr. George R. Costa, Chairman UNSCHEDULED APPOINTMENT: Detective Brad Fish, Ernie Virgilio. Re: Shooting range at landfill location. Mr. Fish explained that at present the range is located directly behind the Police Dept. and adjacent to the new school . Fortunately, we've never had an acci- dent. Now a complete facelift is proposed for the complex, including additions to the Police and Fire stations. This should occur within the next 18-24 months. The building extension and a road are planned for the area of the firing range. We are looking for a permanent location and would like you to consider allowing us to use a part of the landfill . Other locations considered were either too isolated or other proposals are in the works.

Mr. McQuaid questioned the noise levels affecting the proposed adjacent subdivision, especially since it would be 80I nightime practice. (Noone else voiced concern over the noise level ) . Mr. Fish stated that eventually they would like to have powero in the area. No Board member voiced objection to the proposal . 1 .
