It should come as no surprise to Sterling taxpayers and voters that the Sterling Board of Health’s 7 April 2022 Meeting Minutes, concerning Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals’ member Joe Curtin’s 218 Upper North Row Road septic system, discussed in connection with his proposed new ‘Accessory Dwelling Unit ‘ at that location, constitute a mini-Master Class in omission and deception.
The relevant portion is reproduced as follows:
“Health Agent Report:
Update of Complaint Regarding 218 Upper North Row Road Accessory Dwelling Unit:
A complaint was filed with David Boyer at DEP, suggesting there was collusion and corruption occurring at this address in regard to a building permit for a one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit. Health Agent Favreau sent a letter to Mr. Boyer explaining the complete history with this home, which was constructed in 2012 as a 4-bedroom dwelling. Mr. Favreau performed an assessment of the home and determined the addition of the accessory dwelling unit, to be located in the basement, would not increase the existing design flow of the system as the septic system was designed and constructed for 5 bedrooms.”

Fascinating how those Meeting Minutes fail to mention that Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals member Joe Curtin owns that 218 Upper North Row Road property AND THAT HE HIMSELF, as a “Registered Professional Engineer,” signed his own 2012 septic design plan for that property instead of “John M. Deline, Jr.” of “Deline Engineering,” the firm that supposedly completed that Plan, the name “John M. Deline, Jr.,” typed onto that Plan, having been lined out. Mr. Curtin placed his own signature above his own Seal reciting “Commonwealth of Massachusetts Registered Professional Engineer.” That was an utter conflict of interest and fraud on the Town of Sterling.
If that Septic Design Plan was REALLY legitimate then why was John M Deline, Jr.’s name lined out as signatory and why was the Curtin house built in 2012 with four (4) bedrooms, NOT five (5)? Do you really think that David “Nowhere Man” Favreau, the Board of Health’s alleged “full-time” Agent, who was running his own septic business in 2012, witnessed the construction of Curtin’s septic system and knows its actual capacity?
The Board of Health met next on 12 May 2022. The relevant portion of that Meeting’s Minutes is somewhat curious:
“General Business Updates:
Approve Any Available Minutes: April 7, 2022:
A motion to approve revised minutes of the April 7, 2022 meeting was made by Cathie Martin and seconded by Anne Marie Catalano. Roll call vote: Hoffman – aye; Martin – aye; Catalano – aye. Motion carried.”

“Revised minutes of the April 7, 2022 meeting”, Eh?
How much you wanna bet that the “revisions” were about covering various and sundry asses?
In essence, the Sterling Board of Health’s 7 April 2022 “revised” Meeting Minutes demonstrate that if the Board of Health and its alleged “full-time”
agent, David “Nowhere Man” Favreau, are not FRAUDS themselves, then they are at least “Accessories After the Fact.”
NOTE: The BOH Meeting Minutes referred to herein WERE NOT posted on the Town’s website until I sent the BOH a Public Records Request for them noting that the BOH had failed to post, as of the date of my Request, the vast majority of its Meeting Minutes from and after July 2021.
