does not recall there being any sewer hook ups but that the Board had a copy of the design in
Jim’s 2019 file. Paula directed Julie to contact Gil and have him go out and inspect it and
perhaps contact DEP. Julie suggested that they discuss it with Colin at the next meeting to decide
on a plan of action. Paula also mentioned that at our re-organizational meeting the Board
