After out-of-town case, Templeton Board of Health to draft lithium battery storage regulation
Summary
A board member raised concerns about lithium-battery containers placed in another town and ongoing court activity; staff said she will draft a regulation modeled on the referenced town’s approach and place the draft on next month’s agenda for board review.
Speaker 3 raised a public-safety concern about lithium battery storage, saying a neighboring town (he named a town he thought might be Wendell) had containers dropped off for battery storage that led to court action. He said the installation appeared to have been "backdoored" into that town and is now in court.
Marie (S2) said she met with representatives and plans to prepare a draft regulation using that town’s approach to protect Templeton. "It will be on next month's agenda," she said, and indicated she intends to bring a draft regulation for the Board to consider. No ordinance or vote was taken; the item was announced as forthcoming regulatory work.
The board did not set a deadline beyond placing the draft on the February meeting agenda. The transcript records the discussion as an information and planning item rather than a formal referral or vote.
