New Business

 

65A & B Howland Street

ACO Request

Health Agent recommends approval. 

Motion:  Approve 65A & B Howland Street for an ACO and allow quick fix.

Motion:  John Livingstone       Seconded:  Jerry Anathan     Vote:  4-0-0.

 

 

Public Comments:

This agenda item was revisited in deference to Mr. McGowen who arrived a few minutes after the meeting had commenced.  He complained that when people are required to hook up to the sewer the bids from the contractors don’t necessarily include all the charges because they are not aware of all that needs to be done. He felt that there should be a checklist for anyone being required to hook up and it should have all the necessary requirements included. 

 

Motion:  Take Lee Ash out of order.    

422 Commercial Street.

Ms. Ash requested more time to enter into the ACO in order to explain the situation to the other condominium owners and to have legal counsel review the document.

It was explained to her that fines, as set forth in BoH regulations, would begin occurring if the ACO is not filed as extended in the motion. 

Motion:  Move to allow an extension from the original Order for an Administrative Consent Order (ACO).  This extension will give the condominium association until Friday, February 23, 2008 until 5:00 p.m. to have the ACO recorded at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds and the first payment made to the Provincetown Financial Department.

Motion:  Duane Gregory       Seconded:  Jerry Anathan      Vote:  4-0-0.

 

 

Discussion

Proposed changes to our Title 5 regulations.  Jane has prepared the language for the Board members review. 

 

Motion:  Move to direct the Health Agent to cause to be advertised a public hearing on February 21, 2008 for revisions to BoH regulations:  Part VII, Articles 16 and 17.

Motion:  Jerry Anathan        Seconded:  Tom Gaudreau      Vote:  4-0-0.
