Mr. Bryan Reif, City-County Planner
Mr. Goldberg, on behalf of his client, Mr. Long, presented the problems connected
with the Plumbing Inspector's placing a Condemned sign on the House Trailer which
is parked behind Hr. Long's Service Station on Shipyard Boulevard. They wanted
permission to use the septic tank which also serves the station. Mr. W. H.
Cranford, Director of Sanitation said this trailer has not been registered with
the Health Department and there was no permit issued for him to hook up to the
septic tank, therefore on July 28, 1966 our Plumbing Inspector gave him a twenty-
four hour notice to vacate (this was done under the direction of Mr. Tillery).
Mr. Reef reported that he has had complaints from people living in the Pine
Valley area about the trailer being there. He also reported that this area
will be re-zoned in the future and when this is done no trailers would be allowed
in this area. Dr. Smith made the motion that Mr. Cranford investigate to see if
it can come under a hardship case and that Mr. Long be permitted to remain in the
trailer until investigation is completed. Dr. Wagoner seconded the motion. Hotion
carried.
..... Developmental I!.'valuation Clinic: Motion was made by Dr. Wagoner, seconded by Dr. Knox,
that the Board ratify the poll taken by telephone in favor of the Board of Health
acting as receiving agent for the funds to operate this clinic. Motion carried.
Mal Practice Insurance: Motion was made by Dr. Knox, seconded by Dr. Smith to
ratify the poll taken by telephone in favor of covering our nursing staff with mal
practice insurance. Motion carried.
Trash Dump: A report on meetings of connnittees, etc. on the trash dump brought
the Board up to date on developnents. Mr. Cranford will check with Mr. Coleman
to see what progress has been made for using Kerr Farm as a landfill for the refuse.
Mr. Tillery reported that he has talked to Mr. Yow, City Attorney, and they had
agreed that most of the smoke in question comes from burning stumps (to burn these
stumps they have to burn tires along with them to get them to burn), and that if
they would stop receiving stumps and if the Health Department would work out a
program to get rid of the rats - that this might be a sort of solution. The
committee consisting of Mr. Batuyous, Mr. Brandon, Mr. Coleman, Mr. CranfOrd,
Dr. Smith and Dr. Knox (Mr. Harrington of the City Council will also serve on this
connnittee) will DIIIet and work something out, then call a Board Meeting on or before
the 17th of August to settle this thing. All members of the Board agree that this
has been put off too long now.
