4. VISITORS
7:45PM Karl Clemmey: Also with Mr. Clemmey, Robert Barnes, employee. Mr. Clemmey
expressed strong displeasure with the wording of the Health Agent's letter dated August 4,
1997, especially the fourth paragraph. Mr. Clemmey also feels that the Board violated state
law and did not get the necessary storm water discharge permit and a permit to transport the
batteries. He sent the letter to the Agent, assuming that the response would come from the
Board of Health. He told the Board that the Agent called the police when he (Mr. Clemmey)
was in his office on August 60. Agent responded that he called the police because Mr.
Clemmey was extremely upset and that the Agent was concerned about Mr. Clemmey's
hostile behavior. Both apologized for the incident.
Chairman responded that he disagreed with Mr. Clemmey's position and believes that the
contents of the letter were not as derisive and decisive as Mr. Clemmey believes. Mr.
Clemmey handed a letter to the Chair to be read aloud. Chair read the letter. Last paragraph
read as follows, "I truly believe that it would be in the best interest to retract the erroneous
and inaccurate statements. I would expect a letter of reprimand be place in his file for this
infraction". After lengthy discussion.
MOTION: Not to place a letter of reprimand in Health Agent personnel file
concerning this letter.
Leonard/Forget. 3 -0 PASSED
Agent will look into the storm water permit and the Board will discuss at next meeting the
possibility of an alternate site. Mr. Clemmey and Agent shook hands and Mr. Clemmey said
that he "likes Scott and has no personal vendetta ".
