X38 HEALTH DEPT. FOOD SERVICE PERMITS It is also interesting to note that Mrs. Lovett owns 31 acres, only enough land to keep three horses, and Mr. Johnson proposed to lease to her all six acres of his property for the purpose of keeping horses. It is further interesting to note that, as yet, there is not a proper manure pit for the storage of horse manure. There exists only a dug out hole where manure is piled and seldom covered. There should be a pit constructed of concrete, wood or metal that can be easily covered and emptied. My recommendation is that this property be restricted to the four horses now allowed under the old permit, until such time as a proper manure pit is constructed. Not until then, should a six horse permit be considered. Barry Littleton Lisa Fitzgerald said the contractor she has hired will put in the correct manure pit. Dr. Cosgrove suggested to Lisa that she do what she is suppose to do to keep four horses and then come back when the manure pit is completed and apply to keep six horses. That's not saying that you will get the permit increased at that time. Mr. Lambie said he is not prepared to go for six horses at this time. The Board voted to keep the Fitzgerald permit at four horses at this time. The Board asked Lisa if she boarded horses for money. She said "No" they were all her horses. She has taken some in that have been injured and cannot be sold and tries to bring them back to health. Mrs. Gabriel cannot be with us tonight, Mr. Smith said but he wanted the Board to know that the Department is having a problem in having food establishments return their applications and fees on time. Mrs. Gabriel has composed a letter to send out telling the food service owners there would be a $10.00 a month fee for every month they are late in filing their application. Dr. Erdos said some of the permits are only $5.00 or $10.00 anyway. Mr. Lambie asked if it was legal to charge this fee. Mr. Smith said he had discussed it with the Town Attorney, Mr. Cohen and he said there would be no problem. Dr. Erdos asked if it would be a flat fee of $10.00 or $10.00 a month for every month it is overdue. Mr. Smith said it would be $10.00 per month for each month they are delinquent. Dr. Erdos said that the letter Mrs. Gabriel wrote did not specify, it should be made plain that it will be $10.00 per month. The Board agreed to accept this late fee. 1 1 1
