8 <br /> Mr. Ball then asked how long Mrs. Barr owned the property. <br /> Mrs. Barr replied that they have owned the property since April of 1999-two years. <br /> Mr. Ball then asked if they had a Title V inspection done. If so, did they know that <br /> it had been out of compliance at that time? <br /> Mrs. Barr replied that the inspection had been done. They didn't know that it was <br /> out of compliance because a survey wasn't done. They system was determined to <br /> be fine. They as homeowners have learned something to add to their list when <br /> purchasing a property. They have purchased many properties and never have had <br /> to survey a property. But, now with this learning experience, they will change their <br /> list. If they hadn't decided to attempt to renovate this property they would never <br /> have known that it wasn't on their property and not in compliance. <br /> Mr. Ball stated that he was in agreement with Mr. Harrington's recommendations <br /> that they get the system back on the property. However, he does not agree that the <br /> Town should have to split any of the expenses with anyone. It should be worked <br /> out with the installer and the owners. The BOH shouldn't even be involved in that <br /> area of discussion. <br /> Mrs. Barr asked why he would say that when it was the BOH's decision to put the <br /> system in that particular location. <br /> Mr. Ball stated that it was approved under an emergency repair policy. <br /> Mrs. Barr interrupted and reiterated that they had had an emergency repair also. <br /> Mr. Ball replied that they also had an inspection done when they bought the <br /> property. Why wouldn't the inspector be responsible for not picking this up? <br /> Mrs. Barr replied that when you purchase a home it is not part of the purchasing <br /> process. Part of purchasing the home under Title V is to have the inspection done <br /> to make sure that the system functions. <br /> Ms. Warden interjected that Mr. Bortolotti has agreed to do this free of charge. <br /> Therefore, money doesn't appear to be an issue here. <br /> Mrs. Barr interjected that Mr. Bortolotti agreed to do it at the Board's direction. <br /> Ms. Warden agreed that that was correct. She continued by stating that an error <br /> was made because the BOH made a decision based on the needs of the individual <br /> which in turn did not require engineered plans. Mr. Bortolotti has agreed to move <br /> the system onto the lot without any financial agreements. The BOH does not have <br /> an account for errors. It was done to help the homeowner at that time and the <br /> BOH still makes these decisions on a day to day request. <br /> Mrs. Barr then replied that their attorney has told them that if they were going to <br />
