The following three areas of staffing were discussed: 1. Sanitarian positions. 2. Temporary consultant services. 3. Temporary clerical assistance. The board discussed the qualifications that should appear in the posting of the position of Sanitarian.

Given the chain of events that occurred regarding Ms. Moustakis ' appoint- ment to fill the position of Sanitarian when Mr. Lubas was granted a leave of absence, it was determined that no record of her appointment to fill other than a temporary vacancy existed.

Mr. Falacko went over the plans for the benefit of the board members he proceeded that he agreed with the overall plan and added a few small changes which the Board Members -agreed were insignificant except for landscaping reasons. His opinion was that ' a Contractor could finish this job in about three days, but that none of the contractors would be able to approach the job for at least three months. Denise Wallace stated that if there was a problem in getting a contractor to do the job, that the Board of Health should have been contacted immediately not less that 10 days of the Board' s origional completion deadline (October 6, 1986) . Bob Fouhey agreed that it is an impossible deadline to make and asked if the Board shouldgrant the Madore' s an extension or lay a fine on them? His thought was that the board should agree on a feasible date of completion. Mr. Falacko added that the Madore' s could not do anything until their plans were completed. page 2 .

Salem Suede • Guido .Marsello, General Manager of Salem Suede and Bruce Poole, President of SP Engineering Tech. were present at the meeting to answer any questions and to try to find the cause of the complaints and possibly a solution to the odor problem. There have been complaints during the weekend which Mr. Marsello could not understand because the plant is not in operation during the weekends. SP Engineering did a test for two days and the result was a non detectable reading which showed nothing above 1 Part Per Million (1PPM) and went on the explain that it is not until (4PPM' s) does an odor occur. Phil Saindon asked if there is any reason that the sludge is not process ed_°on-Fris d y or' Sa-ur`day�>? Bruce Poole answered that the sludge is already collected and a couple of days won't cause it to be septic. He said that every- thing that is processed is in a holding tank and whatever is processed on Monday is from Monday' s work. In addition Salem Suede is using four (4) bags of Lime a day instead of two (2) . Mr. Poole explained that the mixing pit is left open which is why they tested it and didn't find high levels of PPM' s and added that it has to be kept open because it has to be watched and • washed when needed. Dr. Stuchiner stated that monitoring should be the responsibility of Salem Suede instead of waiting for complaints.. Dr. Stuchiner made a motion to recomend that a monitor is placed on the roof of the plant for a 48 hour period during the weekends when the plant is closed for every weekend until the Belt Press is operating.
