Tyringham boards meet on dog hearing, septic permit, tree removal; no decisions published yet
The Tyringham Select Board, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission all held meetings in the past two weeks, but none of the boards have published minutes yet, so no official decisions or votes are available. The agendas covered a nuisance dog hearing, a septic permit, and a tree removal request.
Select Board (Aug. 11)
The Select Board met to handle routine administrative business and several appointments. The agenda included:
- A nuisance dog hearing
- Appointment of Santi Messina to the Police Department
- Appointment of Julie Valun to the Board of Appeals
- A discussion of boat/trailer parking on Coopertown Road
- A curb cut request from Triano
No votes or outcomes are reported because minutes have not been published.
Board of Health (Aug. 11)
The Board of Health met to review mail, approve previous minutes, and take possible action on a septic permit application from Herrera. The board also reviewed micro events at 128 Jerusalem Road. No decisions are available yet.
Conservation Commission (Aug. 13)
The Conservation Commission met via Zoom only. The agenda included:
- A Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA) for tree removal at 43 Cooper Creek Road
- Final sign-off for a fuel spill cleanup on Main Road
No outcomes are reported pending minutes.
Coming up
- **Board of Health** – Aug. 26, 2026. The agenda is mostly procedural boilerplate under Massachusetts Open Meeting Law. The only listed agenda topic is illegible in the source, so no specific items are identified. Residents may attend but should expect no substantive business.
