4. Health Agent's Report
a. Title 5 Perc Rate Change - State regulation changed from 30 minutes per inch to 60
minutes per inch for New Construction. Town's rate is currently 20 minutes per inch and
will not be affected by the State's change.
,-
b. Household Hazardous Waste Collection - Due to budget cuts, no collection is being
planned for April. Agent will re-apply for funds for the FY2004 budget. Ken T orman stated
the success of the program and mentioned a consumer supported program. Agent did not
recommend this method because it would be very difficult to set a flat fee collection rate
when the Town's fee is based on weight collected.
