3. Discussion of Town Counsel's review of Brewster Regulation Restricting the Sale and Use of Tobacco Products & Nicotine
Delivery Products
Mr. Skidmore told the Board that Town Counsel had done a final review of this and determined that it would be ok for the Board to
adopt it if they wished. However, it may not be necessary since the whole State will eventually be going to the purchase age of 21.
He stated that he is not in favor of changing the age to 21.
Dr. Chaffee stated that she believes this is a public health issue and the age should change to 21.
Ms. Dugan and Dr. Scherzo agreed with Dr. Chaffee.
Mr. Ford stated that he is not in favor of changing the age to 21 at this time.
Motion: Approve the draft regulation and schedule a public hearing.
Motion: Annie Dugan Second: Dr. Chaffee Vote: 3-2-0 Action: Motion carried
4. Discuss the Small Wastewater Treatment Facility Regulation
Mr. Skidmore explained to the Board that when this regulation was adopted, the State did not have its own regulations. They do now
and it may be redundant to keep the Brewster regulation. The Board wanted to hear what George Heufelder had to say. They would
like to keep this regulation until the CWPC regulation is brought forward and until they hear from Mr. Heufelder.
5. Discuss and approve minutes from 4/28/2015
