>> Thank you. >> All right. I am Vincent Heard of Health Member Clerk. I'd like to call this meeting to order. It is the monthly board of health meeting. It is 2:00
on January 20th. Um start with the pledge of allegiance allegiance to the flag of America to the republic for which it stands. liberty justice for all.
>> Okay. All right. So, let's start. First item would be health agent. [snorts] Good afternoon. Uh, not too much to update on. I have my
title five inspector system inspector test on Thursday. So, I'll be going up to LOL for that. Um, I did the Zoom classes last week. Um, so hopefully Friday I'll be title five certified.
>> Awesome. >> It's amazing. >> You and I just want to give you an update. We are good to go. They reflect signed the contract the vendor agreement as of last Wednesday. So I sent that to
Hannerfords. They updated their system. So we're now on the right payment terms with them. >> Uh 15 days we gave them. >> Yeah. Okay. >> That's great. >> Yep. They did place an order and I hadn't received the check yet. So I reached out to my contact and he said that what was they were waiting for the
signatures of the selectman. So I got that wrapped up. >> Good. Very good. >> I did get an email about um somebody wanted to put something on our website. It's something that we don't have on our website, so I just wanted to
run it by the board. Um it's about fighting overdose uh addiction. It's, you know, links to resources that, you know, anybody could utilize. It's something that we don't have on our website. So, with the board's permission, I'd like to put something on
there. Um, I'll check out the resources first to make sure everything's credible. Uh, but they have um reached out to me before, so this is the second request. So, >> seems reasonable, Chris. >> Yeah, it sounds reasonable. It'll be It'll be good to It sounds like you're
going to go through all of it to make sure it's a reliable resource, right? >> Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. >> Okay. Yeah. I mean, of course, I think the town will benefit from it. Yes. inspections. We've done quite a few this
month. Um, not too many perks. It's kind of cold right now for perks to be happening. The ground is kind of frozen, but we have been doing quite a few inspections. Uh, the regional agent and I have been going out
doing our food inspections for the restaurants and, uh, schools. So, we've been knocking those out before we give them their licenses for the annual renewals. We did quite a few of those. Um, there's a list of all the ones that
came through for your approval. So, we've been quite busy, Ashley. Unfortunately, still only here five hours a week, so we can only get so much done. Uh there's quite a bit on the back burner, but it's nothing that is going
to be, you know, putting us in harm. You deposit. >> It's it seems like things have calmed down somewhat. I mean, from I don't, you know, not getting, you know, calls or texts from you and >> it's been Yeah, it's been a little quiet. [laughter]
>> Shouldn't have said that. My god, we just changed ourselves. Other than that, it's, you know, going forward, just trying to get some of the training done for the food one. The food tier one needs to be completed by the end of the
month so we can all be enrolled in tier two. So hopefully I can get some of those done while it's nice and quiet. >> Good. Good. Liz, >> might as well stay there. [laughter] >> Town nurse. Is the town nurse on? Is Becca on?
I don't see anybody. We're gonna just skip right to our office manager who happens to be Liz. >> Uh Ashley's been great. She's comes in. She does she does a lot in the little time we have her. So
the only thing is, you know, we have to wait an extra week because she's only here for five hours. So if you know a lot of permits come in, they do sit there for a few days till she can get to it. So, it would be nice if we could um figure out something until they can get
this position filled >> because it is piling up. You know, deposits used to be done weekly and now, you know, it's been three weeks since I've been able to do a deposit. So, I would like to talk to the town administrator to see how we can get some
more hours, whether I can stay more hours or I can get Ashley for more hours. Mhm. Either way, Liz, I mean, if you want, we can we can also uh if Ralph needs us to talk to him about that, that's fine. >> All right. Yeah, maybe I'll send an email and I'll just copy the board in
and say, "What can we do?" Because I think the goal is once Nancy Pinto retires, she is the building office manager. They want to combine the two office manager roles, make it one. So, they're waiting for Nancy to leave. And you know, we were just told she's
probably going to stay until April now. >> Okay. >> So that's another three months of this. And I don't know if that system. >> No, that would start now as we start getting back into I hate to say the more busy season, but the more busy season, right? Because now
you're going to have more perk tests. You're going to have more title fives, etc., etc. That's going to come up. It's going to take your time away, >> you know? So, if we could get more hours from her and um then once that happens, then we post her
job and then we go and then then we'd be okay. But >> I mean, what do you think? 10 hours would be more would be good or or more? >> No, the 10 hours at least. Yeah. If I could get her here for 10 hours, that would be better. But
it I mean, I guess anything would be better, right? [laughter] But if if he would allow me to stay a few more hours a week or her to come over a few more hours a week. So I'll I'll put together a letter and then send it to you guys and >> Okay.
>> have you look at it and then we can talk to Ralph. >> Sure. Sounds fine. >> All right. Thank you. >> All right. So the next item on D it's TD which is animal control. There's no
animal control, so skip that. Uh, we'll go right to permit approvals. Um, I don't have to read all these, Liz. Do I? >> I don't think so. They were posted on on the agenda on the website. So,
>> I know we've signed all the >> We've signed this already. So, I just make a I I need to step down and I need a motion for item on item E. Um E items A through
triple B for approval, right, Liz? Yeah, that's it. So, you need to do that, Chris. Make the motion. >> No, no worries. Sorry, I don't know. My phone is acting. Can you hear me? >> Yes.
