John Place asked for further clarification regarding the 155B Order that was issued to Bryon Ruff and Wendy Place. Within the 155B Order the persons responsible have 20 days to respond if they are in disagreement of the order; otherwise the persons responsible have 60 days to come into compliance. After the twenty days the Town of Warner will file for Summary Motion of Enforcement, if granted, the Town will have the authority to enforce the order. Mr. Place asked what is further needed to allow the property owners to move back in to the structure. The Selectmen explained once the condition of the home is approved by the Health Officer and the improvements are signed off by the Building Inspector, and the conditions on the outside are not being a threat to the children (garbage) entry would then be allowed. The condition of the property still needs to come into compliance within the 60 days. Mr. Place asked how Ms. Place can reclaim the animals that were taken by the State Veterinarian. The Selectmen explained that the State would need to be contacted. The State reported that the animals, after examination, were fed at best twice a week, no provisions of water on site at the time of the removal and no shelter provisions for the animals were provided. The animals were seized based on these conditions and other health conditions. Mr. Bologna asked if the time allotted to work on the house could be extended a little later.
