31 Keen’s Way – Byron Yordanopoulos. Requested a waiver of a Title V regulation stating that the septic must be pumped every year for 3 years for the 1-year extension to take effect. He stated that he was unaware of the regulation and missed the 1st pumping within the 1st year after a new septic was installed. Whittaker moved to allow waiver; MacInnes seconded. All in favor.

Speigel Metals – Tony Pusateri. Wants to continue to pick up scrap metal at the Recycling Center via a proposal and contract. The Board informed him that it was not in the Center’s best interest at this time to contract with anyone at this time due to DEP parameters. Health Agent said Speigel can collect scrap metal until April 1, 2008 at which time the Board plans to be seeking proposals for contracting with vendors.

Personal Best – Marie Goldman, owner. Came before the Board to request refunds for her massage therapists. Cullity informed her that the Board voted to refund the monies.
