Tobacco Hearings - Richdale, Sam's Mobile, Texaco Mr. Ron Beauregard from Healthy Communities presented: • Richdale had a 2nd violation on February 16, 2003. A 16 year old boy purchased Newport cigarettes. There were 14 checks done, and two (2) sales completed. Will only ticket for non-compliance if sale is actually made. Motion by Mr. Markey to level a fine of $200 and suspend license for seven (7) days. Motion was seconded by Ms. Barczak. • Sam's Mobil had a 3rd violation on February 16, 2003, and had two violations in May of 2001 and September 17, 2001. Attorney Michael Hogan spoke on behalf of this client. A hearing at Lawrence District Court before the Clerk Magistrate on December 12, 2001 did not appropriate a fine for the September incident. Attorney Hogan requested that the February 16, 2003 violation be considered the first offense. Ms. Barczak motioned that a fine be levied for $300, and lose license for 30 days as it was the 3rd offense. • Texaco had a 2nd violation. A 16 yr. Old female, #44 did 10 checks and received two (2) sales. Mr. Markey made a motion to fine for $200 and stop selling for seven (7) days. During all suspensions, all tobacco products must be stored in a locked area away from the main store. 2. Minutes of February meeting 2/27/2003 Minutes were unanimously approved by all members. 3. Nurse's report on smallpox training meeting Ms. Rillahan reports that North Andover is very organized with the Smallpox Outbreak Plan. Other communities seem to be waiting for the state to come up with a plan. Very happy with response of nurses and doctors in Town of North Andover to help out if needed. 4. Proposal for recreational camp inspection fee This is put on hold as Ms. Starr said she was unable to run by Town Counsel. Would like to discuss with BOH informally later. 5. Adoption of proposed Mercury Disposal Regulations Regulations were approved and signed by all Board members. 6. Animal Inspector Nomination Motion made by Ms. Barczak and seconded by Mr. Markey to let R. David Lindsay, DVM take over as Animal Inspector for his father.

DPW, 384 Osgood Street, North Andover, MA 01845 Present: Dr. Frank MacMillan, Chairman, Cheryl Barczak, Member/Clerk, Jonathan Markey, Member, Deb Rillahan, Public Health Nurse, Sandra Starr, Health Director, Pamela DelleChhue, Health Department Assistant 7. Lot 10 Windkist — extension of soil tests. Jonathan Markey made a motion to extend the soil testing to proceed with sale of this empty lot. Ms. Barczak seconded the motion. 8. Wood Bridge housing issue The Health Department staff have been Involved with a particular case since last July of 2002. There is one resident complaining of pungent smells from her neighbor downstairs. Ms. Rillahan reports that the apartment was dirty, but no major violations. The resident in question needs guidance, as he is not capable of handling his affairs independently, and does not have any family or a guardian. Ms. Rillahan approached social services for assistance, and was refused on the grounds that he does not qualify under DMR or DMH, although he was tested, and found to be borderline on psychological testing. He will need to be in a group home setting soon, or he will be homeless. Ms. Rillahan and Mr. Lagrasse were suboneaed to go to court by a Ms. Doran. It was discussed that Town Counsel needs to work with state to get help for the individual in question. Otherwise, Ms. Rillahan has exhausted all options searching for assistance. A resident attending the meeting approached Ms. Rillahan and gave her a business card for an agency that she works with that may be able to help. 9. Thompson's — presentation of trash transfer facility This forum was not set up for a hearing. This was just a presentation of very conceptual new plans for a trash transfer facility. This proposal differs substantially from the original proposal at 210 Holt Road. Mr. Alan R. Kirschner, a consultant with the environmental engineering firm Brown & Caldwell of Middleborough used basic floor plans to show the Board of Health the Thomsons' concept for a with presented some design plans which outlined the following information: The site is approximately four (4) acres in size. The current proposal has a 30,000 sq. ft. recycling and processing facility. Ideas were talked about as to how vehicles will enter and exit the site. Trucks would enter from Route 125 to Holt Rd., and proceed to the rear of the property. Along the frontage, landscaping is planned between Holt Rd. and the proposed building. The design anticipates a basin at lower end of the site. The number of vehicles accessing the facility would be approximately 150 vehicles per day, carrying a total of approximately 650 tons per day. The trucks would follow a designated haul route. Details of enforcement will need to be worked out. The building would be approximately 300 ft x 300 ft. This facility would process primarily construction debris. The operation will entail a shredder, a screener, and a picking and sorting station. A magnet will be installed to pull metals out. The sorting will be manually picking out materials such as cardboard, wood, and other metals. These items will then be dropped down into bins and stored as 3.27.03 - Minutes Page 2 of 5 MEETING MINUTES — THURSDAY - MARCH 27, 2003 — 7:00 P.M. DPW, 384 Osgood Street, North Andover, MA 01845 Present: Dr. Frank MacMillan, Chairman, Cheryl Barczak, Member/Clerk, Jonathan Markey, Member, Deb Rillahan, Public Health Nurse, Sandra Starr, Health Director, Pamela DelleChiaie, Health Department Assistant recycled products. Ground leftovers will be brought into recyclable area. There will be trailers for solid waste at the end of the building and trucked off- site for disposal. The goal for recycling is 50%. The Thomson family feels that this is a workable concept. Additional control systems will include a misting system to control dust. This system will be installed in the shredder, and grinding systems to control dust. The Thomson's will also address bird control issues. These plans will need to go through local reviews and approvals through town and state, and will take many months to complete. The Board of Health will look at prior environmental filing, back through the site suitability process. Further review and filing with the DEP will need to be conducted before this plan comes before the Town of North Andover. Some residents belonging to the group People for the Environment were present, and several gave their views. The group was told that this was not a hearing, but a conceptual presentation only, and that the Board of Health would act in the best interest in the public health of the community. 10. Joan Kulash — citizen Thanked the BOH for their past decision. Stated that North Andover is already overburdened with the amount of trash facilities, and hope that the Board of Health will make the right decision for the public health. 11. Temporary septic help Ms. Starr will be away on vacation for two (2) weeks, and a temporary director will fill in while she is away. Steve Erickson has been selected as the person to fill in. Mr. Erickson is a soil scientist, and knows what Boards of Health are looking for. The question was raised as to whether we pay him $100 per hour, or ask him to do it for a lower fee. If he gets regular fee, there may be extra cost to ho er. 2. Lot 13C Duncan Drive Plans are approved for a new house. Owner wanted a well in 2001. There is a letter in the file from Oct. 2001 stating that there will be water service in the future. This area is a problem because of serious ground contamination years ago. Byproducts from a car upholstery place that had dumped illegally, and a former piggery was around the site. The combination of these two items created problems with the groundwater. The Board of Health will not issue a well permit for this site, as Town water is available. Mr. Markey made a motion to install a water line to hookup. Motion seconded by Ms. Barczak. Ms. Starr will do a study to see which other residents are on wells from that area, and issue an order to hook up to town water. 3.27.03 - Minutes Page 3 of 5 MEETING MINUTES — THURSDAY - MARCH 27, 2003 — 7:00 P.M. DPW, 384 Osgood Street, North Andover, MA 01845 Present: Dr. Frank MacMillan, Chairman, Cheryl Barczak, Member/Clerk, Jonathan Markey, Member, Deb Rillahan, Public Health Nurse, Sandra Starr, Health Director, Pamela DelleChiaie, Health Department Assistant OLD BUSINESS 1. Ongoing IrrigationNVell moratorium Will keep the moratorium active until the regulations are changed. This moratorium applies to all nonessential wells throughout the town, not just the watershed area. 2. Housing update — 383 Abbott Street The condition of this house was not significantly improved. Will need to hear a report from Mr. Lagrasse when he is back from sick leave. 3. Sign agreement — 799 Dale St. All board members approved and signed to allow for the property to remain as is, and convert to the town sewer within six months of becoming available, weather permitting. DISCUSSION 1. State budget and flu vaccine The state provides it for seniors 65 years of age and older, which is how we do clinics. For non -seniors, the health department purchased the vaccine and charged $10 per person. The 2002 flu clinic brought in $10,000. The health department is getting cut by 20% for flu vaccine. This cut will probably bring the availability of the flu vaccine down by 40%. If local doctors are not going to purchase the vaccine, the health department will have to pick up. This will cost the health department more to buy than what we will get reimbursed. Discussion included possibly charging $12-$15 per shot. 2. Report of trash truck violations in court Ms. Starr reports that Mr. Lagrasse was in court a full day. Almost all trash truck companies were required to pay the fines. CORRESPONDENCE 1. Skin Cancer grant — was not received due to cutbacks. 2. GLSD Biosolids Drying Facility approval The first phase of the drying plant for pellets has begun. Mr. Markey states that he will review this. Environmentally, it is less waste. 3. Memos concerning health personnel staffing Ms. Starr requested support from the Board of Health to vote down the proposed cuts at town meeting. 3.27.03 - Minutes page 4 of 5 MEETING MINUTES — THURSDAY - MARCH 27, 2003 — 7:00 P.M.
