Board approves invoices and a septic-variance, corrects a clerical budget error
Summary
The board approved several routine items — including a corrected Solomon invoice ($1,000) and a Little Mountain Condominium invoice ($750) — and accepted a variance for a sieve analysis in lieu of a standard perk test (Title 5 discussion). The board noted a clerical error on the agenda and directed staff to correct it.
Board members approved routine financial and permitting items, addressed a clerical error on the agenda, and accepted a septic-variance request when standard perk testing was unsafe.
Committee members asked why an agenda line showed $6.70 while the vendor charge was $1,000; the Health agent explained the vendor raised its annual cost, which produced a $1,000 monthly charge and that the agenda used an older invoice figure. The board approved the corrected Solomon invoice. The board also moved to accept an invoice for Little Mountain Condominium ($750) and approved the requested variance (OVIRA/Title 5 context) for 21 Elvira Street.
On septic/perk testing, the Health agent explained that when pit walls are unstable, the board can accept a sieve (SIV) analysis as an alternative but that this requires a formal variance under the state rules (Title 5). The board accepted the variance as a routine permitting step.
