• 5 the Board of Health was located. Ms. Warden stated that she was the Board of Health. She proceeded to let her know about her chief complaint. She also let Ms. Warden know that if any person made a complaint pertaining to the farm. She knows that Ms. Warden has called Mrs. Murphy and forewarned her. Therefore, by the time someone goes out to investigate the problem. It has been masked. It can be masked. But, it can only be masked because it never really is corrected. She stated that she told her "Boni, I don't appreciate you doing that." Last year when she issued a complaint. The very next day, Mr. Murphy, the husband, came over to her from the driveway and asked if she complained to the BOH in regards to his property. She confirmed that she did. He said that he would appreciate if she would tell him instead of going to BOH. She respected that wish. She will always let him know first. Ms. Warden stated that she never did that. Mrs. Herrera stated that "I beg your pardon, I know for a fact that you did. I almost got it from the horses mouth and I don't mean Mr. Ed." She then asked when there will be a meeting and whom can she speak to above her. Ms. Warden stated that there is no one to speak above her here right now.

Everybody said that they never had any problem with it. They moved in and never had a problem with flies, smell or nothing at the time that Katherine owned the farm. It was so good, in fact, that he went to bat for Katherine, and unfortunately hindsight is everything. He went to the meeting to back her up on the variance of the barn. Little did he know that she wanted to get the variance cleared so she could sell the property? He feels like an idiot now. But, regardless, the property has been sold as least a couple of years ago. When the new owners moved in it was a situation where there were problems right away. They new owners did say that if there was a problem please come and see them. He might have jumped over their heads and directly called the BOH rather than bringing the issues up to the owners. That was a mistake because it has almost come to fist-a-cuffs several times with himself out in the middle of the street. It was an ugly situation. The thing that brought to a head was the fact that
