52 Mr. Smith said that Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel, prefers to sit down with the Board and Mr. Smith after Town meeting is over to discuss Article 12 of the Town warrant. He said "Not Transferable" should continue on all permits. ARTICLE 12 Mr. Lambie feels it definitely should be discussed. TOWN WARRANT Dr. Erdos suggested that the Board take a relatively passive or firm stand. He asked what regulations are we going by? Mr. Smith said the Board of Health Regulations. They were promulgated by publishing in the newspaper. Dr. Erdos stated again that the Board of Health should take a relatively passive stand until they have to take a stand. The Board discussed if Mr. Brucchi sells his property and the new owner wants animals - the Board then has to make a decision as to whether the new owner shall get the number of animals Mr. Brucchi has now. Mr. Brucchi is under the grandfather clause allowing him, as long as he owns the property, more animals than the current regulations would require. The reason Mr. Brucchi wants the permit "Transferable" is to sell his property at a higher price and make a larger profit. The Board after further discussion decided to take a passive view for the present time and after Town meeting is completed, they will meet with Norman Cohen to discuss it further. Mr. Lambie mentioned that he had received a telephone call from a Town meeting member - asking about a "vet" being available for weekends. Mr. Smith told him that the "vets" are not usually available for emergencies and will, at times, if dog owner is a client, go to the animal hospital and take care of injured animals. Most answering services refer the caller to the Angel Memorial on weekends and evenings. Mr. Smith brought up the selection of a veterinarian for the annual rabies clinic. Mr. Smith told the Board that last year we used the vet at Dr. Chabot's Animal Hospital and Dr. Chabot showed an interest in letting his assistant come back this year. Dr. Howard Smith had called to see if his assistants could do the Rabies Clinic but Mr. Smith said he had be contacted very early in the year by a Dr. Mark Smith of Acton. He was willing to do the Rabies Clinic for us. Also, Dr. Chabot had contacted the office stating his assistant could do the clinic again this year, Dr. Chabot has let his assistant do this clinic for the past three years. Dr. Sandler from Middlesex Turnpike in Burlington was also willing to do this clinic. 1 1 1
