Motion by Councilor Ferrino to refer to the Finance Committee
From the minutes
“Motion by Councilor Ferrino to refer to the Finance Committee 2" by Vice President Letterie Discussion Councilor Honan asks if any of these pest problems could be from the CBD Project? Director Calla replies, Gioso has been doing the correct baiting in the center for pest control. Councilor Honan asks when residents must control their own pest control? Town Manager replies that trash is a big problem with the pests and construction happening all over town, it is a fine line of what is the towns responsibility vs. an individual? If it is obvious it isa citizen's responsibility, they should take care of, but at this time, the town is having a pest problem which is also a regional problem. Is there a massive home project and then an influx of pests, would they be responsible for the costs? Town Manager replies that the ISD could discuss this with any major improvements being done. Councilor Ruggiero reports his precinct has been getting infested. Education would also help with trying to fix this problem as more people are home and more trash being generated.
