9 <br /> b. Septic Repair Program (article pulled from Oct. Town Mtg.) <br /> Ms. Warden wanted to make the BOH very well aware of the fact that the <br /> Selectmen pulled the article from Town Meeting. She is very upset about. She has <br /> been in contact with Kendall Ayers at the county. It cost the Town 0% for the <br /> septic repair program. The BOH no longer has funds. There is $5,000.00 for one <br /> more repair. The BOH will no long have the septic repair program. <br /> Mr. Ball asked why this occurred. <br /> Ms. Warden stated that she spoke with the acting Town Administrator, Joyce <br /> Mason. Ms. Warden explained the importance of this fund. Ms. Mason did not give <br /> Ms. Warden any reason why the article was pulled. Ms. Warden called John <br /> Doherty. He spoke to John Cahalane. Ms. Warden called Dean Arden on the <br /> finance committee because the selectmen were meeting with the finance <br /> committee. She explained to him. Ms. Warden was told earlier in the day that the <br /> Town Meeting took place that she did not need to attend. John Doherty could not <br /> attend because he was working. <br /> The BOH has fourteen people waiting on the list and there is one repair left in the <br /> funds. What the BOH is going to run into is that they are going to have to <br /> condemn the house and quite possibly be responsible for the homeowner's <br /> relocation. This is because the BOH condemned the house. <br /> Mr. Ball stated that as of 5:00 PM today (August 30th, 2001) the reason they <br /> pulled the article is as follows: 1) No one showed up to explain it. 2) John Doherty <br /> had spoken to John Cahalane and said that someone would show up to explain <br /> the article. 3) As of 5:00 PM the money was available and everything had been <br /> straightened out. <br /> Ms. Warden stated that she got wind of some of his information. There is a little <br /> money left. Yes, there are 14 people waiting with enough money for one repair. <br /> There are also 54 potential repair requests in the file cabinet. Ms. Warden stated <br /> that John Doherty told John Cahalane that he could not attend. Ms. Warden went <br /> upstairs to speak with Ms. Mason. Ms. Mason told Ms. Warden that she did not <br /> need to attend. Ms. Warden explained the program in detail to Ms. Mason before <br /> she left that conversation that afternoon. Ms. Mason ended the conversation by <br /> telling Ms. Warden that she could handle the whole situation herself. <br /> Mr. Ball asked when the Selectmen were meeting again. <br /> Ms. Warden stated that the warrant went out to print this morning. The deadline <br /> was August 29th, 2001. <br /> Mr. Santos stated that he watched the Town Meeting on television and didn't <br /> notice that they said anything regarding this article. <br /> Mr. Alan Samry of the Mashpee Enterprise stated that the Selectmen discussed it <br /> at the end of the meeting. Part of the reason it was withdrawn was because there <br /> was no one there to discuss it. But, the message that Joyce Mason gave them and <br />
