MR. FITZGERALD’S REPORT

 

1.            Mr. FitzGerald conducted a food service inspection at ABC Gourmet Pizza and Pasteccori Market, in the Grist Mill Plaza.

 

2.            Mr. Fitzgerald has noted progress in clearing the debris from the property at 787 College Highway.  In the event the remaining debris is removed, the Housing Court case scheduled for August 13, 2007 will be dismissed.

 

3.            Mr. FitzGerald was requested to rectify the overgrown grass issue at Car Finders.  Mr. FitzGerald stated that there currently are no regulations relative to grass mowing.

 

4.            Mr. FitzGerald reported the water test at the Town beach was 5 for fecal coliform.

 

5.            Mr. FitzGerald attended TRC training at Mass Emergency Management Agency with Charles Dunlap.

 

6.            Mr. FitzGerald attended a Hampden County Health Coalition meeting.

 

7.            Mr. FitzGerald stated that the Board of Health does not have the authority to secure emergency funding for the residents of 15 Shirley Terrace.  Mr. Stinehart did send an email to Pioneer Valley Planning Commission requesting copies of their records, as the property owners alleged that they did contract for plumbing repairs in 2005.  In the event a further investigation does warrant an emergency situation, Mr. FitzGerald will contact the Board members to advise them of the situation.

 

8.            The Board members reviewed the proposed Floor Drain By-law to be submitted to the DEP.

 

 

 

 

As there was no further business to be brought before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

Jean Nilsson, secretary
