Bill Mackey, from Camp Dresser & McKee, was present, as well as DPW Director,
Joe Zeneski. Joe Zeneski advised the Board that he had received the three
Occupancy Permits for the three buildings which make up the sewage treatment
plant in Norton, so the Town is now authorized to operate the plant in accord-
ance with the Building Inspector's requirements. The Clerk then read a letter
from Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association indicating property and
liability coverage for the new sewage treatment plant is being provided under
the Town's package policy. The Chairman asked Town Counsel, who was also
present, if he had read the letter and approved its intent; his answer was
affirmative
The Clerk then read a letter from Bill Mackey of CDM in answer to the con-
cern expressed by Selectman Dunn at the July 10th meeting for a more specific
statement that the plant and equipment installed meet the functional intent
of the plans and specifications. Selectman Dunn said he was satisfied with
the content of this letter, and Town Counsel felt it was acceptable. Chair-
man D'Onofrio then said it appears that all components which the Board was
concerned about before accepting the plant have been addressed satisfactor-
ily.
* MOTION: That the Board of Selectmen accept the Wastewater Treatment Plant
as cited by the appropriate documents.

4. Old Business /Selectmen
a) Chairman D'Onofrio said he had run into Mr. Beatty the other day and
was told that his son had not yet heard from Chief Earls concerning
his inquiry regarding hiring patrolmen. Barbara Hagg was asked to re-
mind Chief Earls of this matter.
b) Town Counsel was asked what progress th ^re was concerning the St. Don
issue. He said he had not talked with the St. Don attorney Rasmussen
yet.
c) Chairman D'Onofrio then asked the Board members for their thoughts con-
cerning meeting with the principals of Foxboro Terminals, asking them to
meet with the Board in its capacity as Road Commissioners, to address
concerns of traffic flow, public safety. Selectman Mahana voiced disap-
pointment with the.IDC in not screening type of business coming in as
they had for the CC &F Industrial Park. There was some discussion about
the function of the IDC; Selectman Dunn feels it is an independent agent
which represents the town, rather than a screening agent. Chairman
D'Onofrio again expressed his greatest concern as public safety. It was
agreed to ask Foxboro Terminals' principals to make themselves available
August 21st, to publicly address concerns that the Board has, acting as
Road Commissioners, for public safety. The DPW Director is to be asked
