$25.00 fee (BOH will look for electricity, bathroom facilities, trash
receptacles, etc.);
Farmer’s Market Residential Kitchen/Retail License - $75.00 (for
individuals only participating in the seasonal Farmer’s Market); and
Farmer’s Market Retail License - $35.00 (for restaurants currently licensed
as a FSE allowing them to sell retail at the Farmer’s Market).
BOH agrees to public hearing dates.
HO Ray is also asking the Board’s acceptance of the final language for the
non-binding referendum question for the April ballot to gauge community
support for the Tick-Borne Disease Advisory Committee’s
recommendations.
BOH approves the language unanimously.
HO Ray tells the BOH that all systems in Nantucket Harbor Watershed
Zones have been inspected with only 16 properties still needing inspection.
Tickets for $300 will be issued monthly starting February 1st until these
properties meet inspection requirements. Mr. Reinhard asks what else may
be contributing to nitrates in our harbor (since so many systems have passed
inspection). HO Ray states that fertilizers need to be looked at closely and
are number 2 on our list.
BOH is adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
