Budget FY96: Meeting with FinCom on Sat. Feb. 11th, 8:00 AM. b. Title 5 Workshop: At Stonehill College, February 8th and 22nd. Members Sosman and Forget, and Health Agent will attend. Also in reference to the new Title 5: The old Title 5 was a law regulating the disposal of wastewater; the new Title 5 views wastewater disposal a something to be treated. The law has been reviewed by soil scientists, biologists, as well as engineers. Even though frustrating, the new law is a huge improvement. Under the old, Agent could design a new system that is replacing an old one. Under new, owner must have engineer or sanitarian design it, which will be more costly to owner. This is stricter and better, but not as friendly. c. Impact Fee Workshop: February 16, 1995 sponsored by Planning Department with guest speakers. Agent recommended members attend.

Carol Sosman was asked to be a facilitator and has agreed. No other members expressed an interest in attending. e. BOCA Ventiliation Seminar: Agent attended with staff from the Building Dept. Seminar was a huge waste of time. f. Fluoride Update: Agent spoke with DPH and was told that Mansfield is 3rd on the list for funding in FY97 or FY98. The funding comes through a Federal Block Grant. Acting Chair Sosman asked if Water Dept. has given cost estimates? Member Martin suggested that if the costs are high, then maybe one or two wells can be fluoridated and rest phased in. Is that PAGE 3, BOH MINUTES, FEBRUARY 2,1995 feasible? Review of plans, costs estimates, review feasibility, all wells or phase in? Acting Chair Sosman will talk with Town Manager. g. Jameson Estates: Board order sewer. However, 380 Mill St. was included in the subdivision plan, but now the owner wants to build on it with a septic system. Variance will be required. h. Woodland Park: Planning Board sent a letter, Jan. 23, 1995, asking about the Textron site and its groundwater pollution and possible effects on Woodland Park Subdivision. Agent will recommend that they refer their questions to Groundwater Technology, consulting engineers for the cleanup. The Board can only give a report on what has occurred and what reports have been submitted. i. Weaver Lane: Certified lab did water test (from stream). Looking for coliform, but does not expect to see it because of cold weather. j. 0 Peres and 4 Plans. 6. OLD BUSINESS a. Cobbler's Corner: No word yet from developer re: seNver. Will not be on Agenda in future. Will simply wait to hear from Mr. Willis, developer. b. Smoking Regulation: Board agreed that first they should set direction. What do we want to accomplish with the reg? Get on same track. Chair Sosman gave brief history of smoking reg inception. Member Martin responded that one of his goal would be to minimize the harmful effects of smoking, (restaurants and workplace, for example). Board agreed that second goal would be to limit access of tobacco products to minors. Third, lock out for vending machines. Societal/corporate cultures govern their own smoking issues. Present reg is more reasonable than the draft proposed by Tobacco Control. Member Forget suggested Board look at their reg one section at a time and make any amendments they feel are warranted. Will be on future agenda. 7. NEW BUSINESS 8. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: To adjourn at 9:40 PM. Forget/Martin. All in favor. VOTED Respectfully submitted, Dianne Royle, Recording Secretary.
