1 1 1 `)39 Mr. Smith asked the Board to raise the fees of some of our permits. He said restaurants have been $25.00 for several years. The Board voted to raise the fee for food service establishment permits for restaurants, cafeterias to $50.00 a permit. The Board also voted to raise the following fees: Vending machines $10.00 per location Mobile Food Servers $10.00 Theatre Snack Bars $10.00 Markets $30.00 Catering $25.00 annually or $5.00 per function Recreation Day Camps $25.00 Chemical Toilets $1.00 Rabbish, Garbage, offal $10.00 per truck Septic System Construction $50.00 (new or repair) Funeral Directors $25.00 Animal Permits $10.00 per animal ($50.00 maximum fee per owner) Massage Parlours $100.00 Masseuse/Masseur $50.00 Church kitchens will still be given permits without a fee, but there will be a late charge of $10.00 per month for late filing. Temporary permits will be $10.00 each for commercial, (carnivals, stores, etc.) $5.00 each for non-commercial (churches, schools, V.F.W., Boy Scouts, etc.) Swimming pools, wading pools, jacuzzi, etc. permit charges were raised in the Fall, so they will not be raised again at this time. Mr. Smith said the State sets the fees for some permits or licenses so the Board cannot raise those fees. Dr. Erdos wanted to know if the Board was going to push the issue of people who have stables and board horses for other residents to go before the Board of Appeals as this is a business. Yes, said Dr. Cosgrove, if they are getting paid to rent space to horse owners. Mr. Smith said when they are questioned, they all deny they are boarding horses. Dr. Cosgrove said maybe that is why the Smoske's haven't been back to re -apply for their animal permit. Mr. Smith told the Board that our Animal Control Officer had put the Smoske's into court because the Board of Selectmen had ordered the Smoske's dog out of town and the Smoske's did not remove it. Mr. Smith told the Board that he is still working on the "Animal Regulations". Mr. Smith told the Board that the Town Manager has taken $3000.00 from the Health Department budget. That is the money that was always set aside for any tuber- culosis cases of Lexington residents that could not pay.
