start a Rental Car Agency on Route 3A on the former McDonald
real estate property. They said it would be a clean business
with 10 or a maximum of 20 rental cars which would not be brand
new but would be in excellent condition. Mr. Pictour will be
looking into other possible sites for this business. They
realize there is a zoning problem and will take these problems
one by one. Mrs. Murray asked about the septic system and
recommended that he talk to the Health Agent also. There are
laws mandating bathroom facilities for businesses.
Mrs. Margo Aikens and Mrs. Janet Figueiredo were present to complain
of water conditiors at 414 and 406 North Main Street. Mrs. Figueiredo

plained of rust and sediment in her hot water tank and low pressure
and white specs in drinking water. They %ad three different answers
from the Water Commissioners. Mr. Clark explained that the stand pipe
was being cleaned and there was 2 foot sludge in the bottom. This
was being cleaned out and the pipe was being repainted. In the
meantime the Scit. valves were open so excess pressure could
get through. Conditions should be better after this work is done,
and the pipes are flushed.

use of the harbor in the future (up to 25 years from nov) both for
recreational and commercial use. He said CZM provides 33 hours of
VA free engineering for the study and will help to lay out a plan for
the study. They have not applied yet but it eventually needs the
Selectmen's approval before the application is filed.
Harry Ritter, Habormaster, said he received information from a meeting
on the North 'Shore and so far Cohasset has no plan on paper and that
Scituate , Marshfield and Plymouth already had applied for this plan.
REGULAR MEETING OF SELECTMEN HELD ON JANUARY 10, 1979 (CONTINUED)
Mr. Ritter said CZM funds 80% with 20% paid from Town with the maximum amount
being $20,000. If we get the $5,000. then CZ4 will pay $15,000.
Mr. Fink said to implement the plan after the study, the Army Corps of Engineers
has already made suggestions. One suggestion is to build a fund from year to year.
Mr. Ritter said we have no funds for maintenance now and we must have two things:
1) A plan in writing for the future of the harbor 2) A fund to implement it for the
ff future.
Mr. Fink said maybe some
othe 30 hours from CZM could be spent to help prepare the
application to bring before the Selectmen.
Voted: To submit this as an article in the next Annual Town Meeting. (to request the
amount of $5,000. as our share of Harbor Study)

A decision still has to be made on the disposal of declared surplus property now stored

Town Counsel, School Committee, Moderator, Town Treas.
Highway Superintendent, Metcalf & Eddy Engineers, and
Citizens.
The meeting was called to order at 7:45 p.m. by Chairman Arthur Clark who
thani:ed the Town officials for being present and explained why the Selectmen
felt it necessary to call this meeting saying that the Town was now in a
serious position because of non-compl' ince of the Clean Water Act, and where
do we -o from here.
Mr. Cla--:-. said he would call on the Setaer Co.mI ssiover s to review what has
been done so far but first he announced that the Town Neeting vote in favor
of the Sewage Treatment Facility Plant was 333 to 131. This was a resolution
not a legal vote and the issue was bogged down on the site for the plant.
Ile then read the letter from the 'Mass. Pollution Control Brd. to the Attorney
General written in August and then the September letter to us fron the Attorney
General. He then called upon the Sewer Commissioners.
11illian ilontouri, Chairman, Sewer Commissioners said a case was presently being
prepared by DEQE. and others against the Town. He said Ro er Whitley, and I;al.ph
Dormitzer were their two appointments for the new Citizen's Committee. The
moderator, Advisory Comm. . and Selectmen will each pick a member. lie need to
pich one out of 6 locations - and there is one new site being considered: land
left by a Ir. Jones for conservation purposes on other side of Sohier St. (27
acres) - close to the ;ravel pit.
IIr. Clark said the Advisory Brd, was in favor of taking action on Sewer Pro'�n
but Capital Bud et was not. He asked iJilliam Montouri to e.:plain the position of
of the Capital Budget Comn. Mr. Kelly said they favor further study. They
recognize there is a proble. but they are not prepared to accept such an
e::pensive solution yet until they study it further.
Mr. Clan'_: mentioned the increased cost to the Town the loner it is put off. If
it is to be built, it should be as soon as possible. The question was asked of
the Town Accountant: 'g1ha,t will be the cost if it is delayed?" mr. Signorelli
said for each additional $100,000. to borrow over a 30 yr, period it will cost
$2_03,750. - impact on taxes in 30 yrs. will be 10=:(� for first 5 yrs. and 7(� after.
Mr. Ilontouri said the permit says needs of entire Town must be met. Ile were
supposed to be into Step 2 by last no. 'He would be throwing money away to study
existing site. Mr. Clark said the purpose of the Committee is to loot; at ALL SITES.
4
November 20, 1979 - Continued
Mr. Clark asked if the dcadline for the Committee should be the ne<;.t special
town meeting to show the Attorney General we are going forward and the
corn,ittee should go right to work! No one was in favor of holding a special
town meeting.
Jac'c Hubbard, Conservation Chairman said he would consider the Advisory and
Capital Budget suggestion to have the new Committee study the 4-Lol-3 picture
and need for more seuage. Lot Fates, Sewer Con.Assioner said this has been
studied for the last 50 years and we need it. Mr. Montouri said the new
committee will review the findings that there is pollution in 25 out of 25
streams.
11r. Burke, Advisory Committee said we must first get the whole toxin, to agree
there is a need. Mr. Hobbs said the real question is the site and we will
be going bactiaards by having a committee. There were many in favor of not
limiting the committee to just sites. Mr. Hobbs said the comnittee should
bet ver much involved with sites.
{
Selectntian pocco Lauelle said if we delay there will be 3 new possible commiss-
ioners in the Spring. rfx. Clark said in earl December the Sewer Comriissioners
Ca111 meet in the Attorney General's 0 fice so we can crait until after that
meeting.
The Metcalf en-ricers said it would cost 1.4 million minimum to respond to
permit violation (includes outfall) does not include changes to present
practices, 2.5 million for new facility (not including 3A), and 3.8 z4llion
(including 3.1) . 1,. Steele asked how many occupancies have a problem and he
