All in favor. OLD PRIMARY SCHOOL – 30 SCHOOL STREET ===PAGE 2=== The Food Pantry is in discussions to find a new location due to the decommis sioning of the Passios School. One of the options and the most available location is the Old Primary School land. When the school was decommission and eventually knocked down, the decision was made to retain the septic system for future use as a park. A Title 5 was completed. The system is a pump system. The pumps need replacing as well as the property being reconnected to public water. There is a stub at the end of the street. What is being proposed is using funds from the Board of Health Grant Fund to repair the system for future uses as a park. Short term, the system could be used for the temporary site of food bank. The food bank is proposing temporary trailers. If the food bank does decide to move forward, they would need to provide the Board of Health with a site plan of their proposal. In addition, they would need a food service permit through Nashoba Associated Boards of Health. After discussion, and on motion by Rudd and second by Fortin, the board voted to allocate up to $50,000 for the repair of the septic system at the Old Primary School for the temporary use of the Food Pantry (with conditions) and future use of a park. All in favor. Having no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:45 pm . ======================================================================================== DOCUMENT : 2026-08-05-agenda-7943.txt BOARD : board-of-health DATE : 2026-08-05 KIND : agenda OUR COPY : https://lunenburgbudgetproject.org/docs/minutes/text/board-of-health/2026-08-05-agenda-7943.txt TOWN PDF : https://www.lunenburgma.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_08052026-7943 ======================================================================================== ===PAGE 1=== LUNENBURG BOARD OF ASSESSORS MEETING NOTICE AND AGENDA WEDNESDAY, August 5, 2026 at 6:30P.M.
