I don't normally dress like this. So, usually it's a polo. You look great. Oh, sure. Good morning. Hi. >> Hello. I think we can go. >> Okay. So, welcome everyone. Good
afternoon. It's the town of Dyon Board of Health regular meeting. Today is Tuesday, October 21st. We're starting just a few minutes late. It's about 2:10. Um, so I'd like to to call this meeting to order. This is a remote participation Zoom meeting. It's a public meeting meeting being recorded
for cable broadcast and internet posting on YouTube. Um, so the first thing we'll do is we'll stand for the pledge of allegiance to the stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty, justice for all.
We'll go right into board member introductions. I'm Tammy Melo, >> uh, Vinnie Hubert >> and our new member, >> Christopher. Thank you. Thanks for having me. >> Thank you. Do you want to give a little
little small thing about your background? Sure, happy to. Um, thanks for having me. I'm very happy to be here and and um happy to be part of the team. My name is Christopher Isabore. I've been um a resident of Dying for
approximately 10 years now. Um during the day, I'm a nurse practitioner. uh after 5:00 p.m. I'm a father and a husband and um I love everything healthcare related and that's all I've dedicated my life to and I'm hoping to give back to my town and that's why I'm
here. So, thank you for having me. >> Thank you. >> Awesome. Glad you're here. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> All right, we're going to move right into uh reports announcements. We'll start f uh first with the health agents. Miss Liz back here.
So, I started jotting down just a big list of inspections and stuff like that that I've been doing um a new role for me. So, I going to try to, you know, include you guys in as much as possible
that I've been doing. Um, we've had nine septic inspections this month. Uh, Jerry and I have gone out. Um, three different residents. The perk test, we've done three and we have two scheduled coming
up um, in October. Food and kitchen inspections. I did one residential kitchen inspection. Um, new resident doing some uh, bread. >> Oh, nice. >> Yeah. Yeah. And then I did the inspections at the middle school and the
elementary school. This week I'm going to try to hit the high school. I have two trainings coming up. Certified pool operator. That one's November 11th and 12th. So I'll be out of the office for those two days. And then I submitted my
pre um you got to submit pre-qualification uh for the Title 5 inspector's course. So I'm waiting to hear back for that one. Uh I did the interviews with the alliance last week for the regional
health agent. There was two candidates. Both of them were, you know, the interviews went really well, but they're going to make their final decision on the candidate on October 29th. So hopefully we get that position filled and we're fully staffed. It'll be exciting. >> Nice.
>> Uh the office manager position is still has not been posted. There was some talks between the union and the town. I think it's finally settled. So, we should be seeing that posting soon. Um, >> how are you managing those between >> All right. You okay?
>> I I wish I could focus more on learning the health agent role, but I'm still doing the office manager stuff. So, it's been >> two jobs now. >> A little challenging. And I'm doing it in less hours. So, it's it's going to be a relief when somebody finally >> Oh, I can understand that.
>> Um, >> you're doing a great job. Thank you. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. Uh yesterday I attended a mass D meeting that was about hazardous waste. So the state is trying to find a way for you
know helping residents get rid of the hazardous waste materials. Um a lot of towns don't offer it and it's becoming an issue. You're seeing a lot of people dumping stuff on the side of the roads or you know leaving it in a bin at the transfer station and you know we're
getting it after the fact. So, um, that's becoming more and more. So, they want to do something maybe regional or some of the surrounding towns get together and pitch in for hazardous waste collection. So, more to come on that. Uh, November 5th and 6th, I'll be
attending the Massachusetts Health Alliance conference that's in Springfield, Mass. So, I'll be gone for those two days as well. >> What is that? >> Uh, November 5th and 6th. It's out in Springfield Mass.
Uh that's their annual conference. So I'm excited for that. I'll get to, you know, meet colleagues and >> you staying out there. You driving? >> I think I'm going to stay. >> Yeah. Long drive, long way. >> Yeah. So they'll pay for, you know, hotel and mileage. So I'm going to take
advantage of it and stay there. That way I can >> absorb all the time just to focusing on the conference. >> Absolutely. >> Good idea. Yeah. So, we have our vaccine clinic on the 23rd, let residents know they can still sign up. It's going to be
held at Council on Aging. Um, and then I also put on the website today an a survey for the alliance. They're looking for some feedback from residents. So, I'd like to get that out there. Um, I asked Leanne to put it on
the Facebook page, so she's going to do that and she hung it up at the town hall. I'm going to post it in ours, but there's more traffic in the other building. So, hopefully we'll get some participants for the survey and then we can see what the needs are of Dayton. >> Okay, that's all I got.
>> Okay, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Town nurse, how are you? >> Hi, everyone. I'm good, thank you. Thank you for having me. >> Good. So, what's going on? >> Um, so I'm excited for the vaccine
clinic. It will be on the 23rd. I will be there in person um for the first time for the whole day. So that's exciting. I'll get to meet with um all of you as well as we do have a meeting to kind of talk about um the needs of Dyon. Um so we do have quite a large number of
people signed up so far. I believe that the last time I checked it was 47 people. Um >> which is bigger than other communities. >> Um so that's exciting. Um, I have my CPR training on October 24th. Um, and so
hopefully I can, um, after that do some, you know, classes and teach, um, some CPR. And right now we're also still working on Maven. >> Nice. Uh, Becca, I had one question that Council on Agent asked me. Uh she wants
to know if uh the vaccine clinic is it one patient at a time or will there be multiple stations because they want to know how to set up the room. >> Um it depends on how busy and like the the staggering of the time. Unfortunately I can't see when people were like what time they registered but
I know that they do depending on numbers come with um two to three pharmacists. So the way that we set up in Middleboro was to have um two tables set up and then um patients went and sat with the pharmacist and like at the chairs. So
there at Middleboro there was two people being vaccinated at once. >> Okay. So I'll have her set up for at least two. >> Perfect. Thank you. And I'll be there to help as well. And they come early about like 35 minutes um early. So we'll be able to um kind of work with them and
see what they think is best as well. >> Great. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Awesome. Anybody have any questions for the nurse? >> Chris. >> Okay. Thank you, Becca. >> Great work.
>> Thank you. >> Moving right over. Liz, do you have anything as your other hat? Office manager. Um, no. Just I mentioned that they will be posting the position. It'll be internal first.
So, okay. If nobody is um interested internal, then it will be posted externally, but it could be, you know, a few weeks before we see anything. >> Okay. >> So, >> what do you think, Lizzie? >> Keep my head afloat. >> You know anyone internally that's interested?
>> I think so. I do. So, >> good. >> Maybe we can. >> Yeah. You gota >> I need I need help. >> Yeah, it sounds like it. >> I need help. >> Yeah. We don't want you going crazy over it. >> No, not at all. >> All right. Animal control. You have
anything for us? >> Ry's clinic. >> What was it? >> Clinic. November 1st at Crystal from 9 to 2. >> 1 Post. >> I do. And I'll get it to you. >> Who is the new doctor?
>> Dr. Murdoch. >> Dr. Murdoch. >> Dr. Murdoch. >> Is it his wife? Not related to the Dr. Murdoch that we know. Her name is Melissa. >> Oh, okay. >> No relation. Just really funny that >> same name. >> Same name.
>> Same thing. Was it like a Was it a registration type of >> Nope. Show up between 9 and two. >> Okay. >> Awesome. Dogs. Cats. Cats need to be in carriage, not on leashes or anything like that. Or in your arms. >> Or in your arms.
>> Yeah, that would be very bad. Um, >> how often do you guys offer the services? >> We try twice a year. >> Twice a year. >> Thank you. Thank you. All right. Going into old business. Um, we're back at dumpster regulations. We need to review,
discuss, and act. Um, dumpster regulations. >> I'm going further with that. >> I Yeah, I've actually forgotten where we ended off. I think we were re doing some more research. So, should we put that one off? >> Yeah. I mean, right now there's not a
lot of talk about people getting dumpsters, but once they start talking about increasing bag prices again, >> it's gonna >> it's going to come back. So, look at what other towns are doing. >> Okay. >> It's got to be like something a regulation simple, replace it,
>> you know, keep it maintained. >> Yeah. I think if we keep it simple I I think >> yeah so we can tell >> so many feet away from wetlands. >> So maybe get some feedback from conservation agent see what she would
like >> um I can reach out to her >> and then just bring something simple to the next meeting. >> Okay. >> So just to tell Chris it's what what this is about is people who in town that have dumpsters. So, it's how far off the
street they have to be. You have to think of snow plows. You have to think of your neighbors. Um, and really that's it. I mean, Liz did a great job. She always does a great job. Uh, pulling together some information from other towns and how they do it. But
it a lot Tammy would agree with me. I'm sure it was a lot of it was like so convoluted. >> We want to keep it We didn't want to do that. We want to keep it very simple. >> It's got to be here. It's got to be this, you know, and pretty much it, right, Tam? I mean, we don't And as long
as they do that, then then we're fine. Pretty much. It's like keep it off the road. >> Off the road, right? From slow powers. >> Keep it serviced. Have something that, you know, it's piled high and it's serviced every, you know, few months. >> Yeah. >> Do they have to get a permit to have a dumpster or no?
>> No. Okay. So, then how do you how do you regulate that? >> You don't. >> You don't. So, you just expect people >> to implement >> implement a per we need to implement permit. at some point, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, we like if they throw hazardous waste in there, we we're not going to go dumpster diving. >> Of course. No, you can't do that. Right. Right.
>> We can't do that. That's going to be up to whoever their service provider >> for providers. Right. >> So, we should probably expand on the when you said um enforce the permit. It's not going to be for people who get the dumpster. It's going to be for the people who own them. Companies who got
it. >> Not so much get a dumpster, right? >> You're going to get a dumpster at your your house. You don't have to get a permit. We're not gonna That's not something that we're looking to do. It's going to be a permit for the uh the owners of the company. >> Got it. >> Right. We provide >> That makes sense. Right.
>> Right. Okay. So, I need uh a motion, Vinnie, on these dumpster regulations to table that until next meeting. >> Uh motion to table item 5A uh on dumpster regulations. >> Okay. Step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? I
>> I motion passes. >> Has Chris been Has he been sworn in yet? Not yet. >> Not yet. >> All right, moving on to the portable bathroom facility regulations. I think we're in the same boat with that one as well. >> Same thing. Yeah. >> Um >> too too crazy, too convoluted. You know,
we want to keep it simple. >> Yeah. >> Um >> and that was really just brought up for these large developments that are coming in building, you know, multiple houses at a time. They're going to be there for months, years on end >> um somewhere for their employees to use to use.
>> I see. All right. Can I get a motion, Vinnie, for the portable bathroom? >> Yep. Uh, I make a motion for item 5B to table portable bathroom facility regulations. >> Okay, I step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? I motion passes.
Moving on to new business, the introduction of the new board member, Christopher. Isabore. Did I say that right? Sorry. >> No, I'm sorry. >> Um, so we've already done your introduction. I apologize. I got a little ahead of myself. Got a little too
excited at the beginning here. >> Thank you. >> Um, we're so happy to have you. >> Thank you for having me. >> It's great having three people sitting up here and not just two people. As >> long excited about that. >> As long as you guys are willing to hear me blurb and talk and willing to teach
me, I'm I'm definitely happy to be here. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. So, Chris, after tomorrow's meeting, you will have to go to um the main town hall and fill out the paperwork. >> I saw your email, right? >> Yeah. To make it official. And then I
mean, once you're sworn in, you'll be able to vote, but until you do the paperwork, course get paid. >> No worries. >> That's the most important part. >> All right, moving on to um permit approvals. So, we've been discussing this for
since the last meeting, I guess. Um, we just need to figure out how um we want to proceed with the permit approvals. >> Um, so just a little feedback. It was brought to my attention that we should
be voting for permit on camera. I'm not sure if that is a state or town bylaw or regulation or anything like that. So, I will do a little bit of research to see if it's required because we're going to have an issue with you
know somebody comes in for a permit to do uh you know a temporary food permit. Are we going to make them wait a month because then the events already passed? We can't. So, there's going to be an issue on >> um some of the permits. We can't make them wait 30 days. >> No. Uh, so do we, you know, have an
acknowledgement after the fact saying these are the ones we approved this month or is this something we have to do? >> I think that I think this the what the acknowledgement after the fact is probably the way to go because like you said, if it's a temporary food permit and they have to wait, you know, a month
before we meet again, then >> it's food permit. Right. >> Right. So, so yeah. Um, but yeah, whatever you find out, Liz, that's >> Yeah, let me find out if it it's required and if it is, it'll just be an acknowledgement. So, we'll, you know,
skip that one. >> Okay. So, let's table permit approval. I'll just need a motion for that one. >> Yep. Motion for 6B to table permit approval. >> I step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? I motion passes. Moving on to the fee schedule recommendations.
I met or I um the town administrator sent out an email. They're looking to do um food revision on all the fees across the board. So, I did a comparison for the
surrounding towns. Some of ours are a little bit lower than what other people are charging. >> Some towns don't have some of the ones we have. um vice versa. We don't have some of the fees that other towns have. So, the ones
highlighted in red are ones that we could implement. Um it's just if they want to make changes to a plan or if they um they need variance. And then the other one is for um a more
technical septic system which is the what I call it systems, innovative alternative systems. So those designs are a lot more cumbersome. So we could technically charge them a little
bit more to review those plans. Um but other than that, I think across the board, it would be fair for all of our fees to go up 25. And you know the only one I saw here Liz that was the fee for
marijuana application. >> Yeah. >> You know it's 500 and then to go to 525. When we think about some of these other fees it's 25%. Right. Hotel permit 100 to 125. Recreation just an example 100
to 125. So, do we want to raise that application 25% or do you did is it what you found that it was um 525 pretty much for surrounding towns? >> Most of the towns don't have it. >> Oh, >> so it's Taton was the only one that did.
But yeah, you're right. You could go up a little bit. >> No, if we went to You don't have to maybe go 25%. Maybe we go to 600. You know, it's 20%. Something like that. Mhm. >> Yeah. >> It just doesn't,
you know, to me, like I said, the rest of them are all in the 20 25% range, >> right? Yep. >> I can increase that one. >> Yeah. >> I mean, you you agree to >> I agree. Yep. I mean, it's reasonable, >> right? >> Raising everything else 20 25%.
>> I think this is all reasonable. >> That was the only one. the rest of 600 for the application and then 200 for the reinspection fee. Can I ask well rein 125? >> Yeah 12. >> Can I ask a question?
>> When do you know the the last time the fees were rever any revisions to those fees? >> Uh we did it about two years ago. >> Oh okay. That's a reasonable time frame. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I think the town administrator's goal is to do it every year.
>> That's more reasonable. I think cost of living >> the goal is to I think he called it fetober. >> Fetober. How clever. >> Every October days any revisions could be made. >> Yeah, I think that's definitely
reasonable. >> So, I'll submit this to him and let them know. You guys just want to make a motion on a motion on the fee schedule. Uh motion on pass fee schedule except for the
application for marijuana license to go from 500 to 600. >> Okay, I step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? >> I >> I motion passes. Moving on to the Hannerford account update.
Where are we at? So I have not been submitting giving them backs. they are still not under the new vendor term agreement. Um I reached out to the contact there and he's going to bring it up to his boss. I
they can't do the the pay upon receipt obviously because it's store and the the headquarters is up in Maine. Um I talked to the town accountant and she was okay with going to a 15-day term with them. So net 15.
Um, they wanted to order a large order this week and I didn't send it. >> How much do they owe right now? >> I got one check in. So, the the last remaining invoice was from October 12th and $7,000. >> Okay. >> So, they're not bad, but I haven't been
sending anything. >> Sounds like it's been working out. >> Yeah. So, if you approve the net terms of 15 days, I can get the agreement over to Hanniffords. And I told them as soon as they can sign that and get it back to me, we can resume sending them.
>> Yeah. And I think that's >> I think that's reasonable. I mean reasonable. Sure. >> And they negotiated in good faith. >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> Came back and they pro promised when they would say the next day and they came back the next day. We can give Chris just a little background. We had a lot of um back payments that were due
from Hannover >> to the tune of like $75,000. >> Why is that? >> That's a lot of trash bags. Uh, so Tim kind of put the hammer down and uh we got them to pay and so we were they
they negotiated in good faith. They pay the money that they owe. Um, our vendor agreement is to pay upon receipt, but I have no problem giving them net 15. >> They're they're a big account, probably the biggest for the town, Liz. Right. >> Absolutely. So I I would I'm fine with
that. >> Yeah. and they've definitely showed us that they are sticking to the plan. >> Yeah. I think there might have been some some mixup. >> Yeah. So, in fairness to them, I think what happened was there was some people that worked in that division. They since
moved on and, you know, left a balance and, you know, it was hard to track everything down and but I think we're good now. Liz has really got it squared away. Did a great job. Um, so we did have a a great meeting with them. Um, and we squared everything away. So I
think going forward I think we're not going to have a problem and >> you know everybody's on board with it. You know the the accountant that we have in town. Um, >> happy with that. Everyone is on the same page. >> And I I I want to apologize to all the residents. I know it's frustrating.
They've been going there and you know they haven't been able to get bags there. Pretty much every other store is stocked. Um, I have some here. So, I know if it's convenient, but >> but we had to look out for the residents. >> The resin
going down that road. So, we really had to, you know, put the brakes on, >> get it squared away, and now going forward, we should not have a problem and they're going to continue to stay well stocked. >> So, there shouldn't be any future problems. >> Yep.
>> So, >> all right. So, I just need a motion on the fee schedule recommendations. >> No, Hannah's >> I'm sorry, Hannifford's. Sorry, I was looking and thinking but looking at the wrong one. So, >> that's all right. I'd make a motion on
item 6D uh to approve uh the H handford account update for net 15 terms. >> I step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? I >> I passes. Right. Moving on to E farmers market. Um, so I was talking to Liz past couple
of months and I thought it would be a great idea in the future. Um, maybe this spring summer if we did a farmers market here on the >> That would be amazing. >> Yeah, I think I think it would work out really well. We have some local people
bring their >> um their vegetables or their, you know, their products from their farms. >> Excellent idea. >> Um, and have it here. Maybe start off by trying it out once a month and see how it goes. >> Y >> and uh go from there.
>> Love that. >> I just feel like we just need to sort of partner with the community and bring something >> fantastic >> to the residents. >> We when in Florida they have one every Wednesday and it's packed with people. >> I love farmers markets. I think they're fantastic.
>> It's only a couple hours. >> That's all you need? >> Two hours. >> Two hours. Right. >> Great idea. Usually usually the farmers sell out. >> Yep. Oh yeah. >> Um of their products and uh >> brings the community together. >> Exactly. It's just a great community. >> Fantastic idea.
>> And then you actually you can possibly bring people outside of the community into this community. But Yeah. >> Yeah. Absolutely. We definitely have, you know, enough people here in the town that uh have little vegetable stands and, you know, grow things and I think
it would be I foresee as being a great thing. Oh yeah, for sure. >> I'm pretty excited. So, we'd like to work on that and trying to get your attention. >> No, I don't have a problem. It just is something that I think about. Well, I
was in Virginia with my ch grandchildren. They have a farmers market twice a week, but on Tuesdays, if you bring your kids, they had a pediatrician stand in there and ask them a question. They got the question right. got 10 bucks to spend any at any of the
vendors that was willing to participate, which you think, h but my got my grandson to try quail eggs and duck eggs because he could he went and talked to them and he bucks to get one of those, >> right? >> It gives them a variety of something
that they may never try if >> I like that idea >> that 10 bucks to spend. Maybe mom and dad don't have the extra 10 bucks to buy eggs or duck eggs because but Um, it gave them a chance to try things that they don't normally try.
>> You know, if we could we could maybe set it up so that it doesn't come out of the town funds. You could approach anyone who's there and say, "Hey, you guys throw in, you know, 20 bucks a piece until it's done and then this is what the plan is because it's only going to help you." So then the the town doesn't
have to worry about paying for it. Something like that. >> Absolutely. I think um >> I think I like Good idea. I like that. Let's go by great. I've never seen >> Oh, that's I think it's awesome. It's just going to be a little bit of planning and coming up with some some great ideas. >> We got to make sure they don't put 10
bucks in their pocket. >> It has You only can spend it at the >> Yeah, like a voucher. >> Voucher, not a car, not cash. >> Monopoly money. >> Yes, >> I like that idea. >> So Oh, good. So I'm glad
>> that's a great idea, too. Yeah. >> So this is all things that you know this is what's going to happen. We're all gonna, you know, come up with the these great ideas and it's only going to get better and better. So, so you start off with one little idea of a farmers market and it's going to explode. I love it. >> Yeah.
>> All right. So, can I get a motion on that one? >> Okay. Motion for item 6E uh to approve farmers market. >> I step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? >> I >> I Motion passes. Moving on to the next
one, which is the health agent supplies. >> So, I added I attached the list to the packet of the stuff that the alliance sent that they uh used or offer for their regional health agent. I don't
need half of this. So, I just highlighted a couple of things that I would need. chlorine test kit, uh, pH strips, a dishwasher thermometer, probably some of this stuff is I could find a way cheaper than some of the
websites, but I wanted to get the board to approval to spend some of the money on it. >> Cool inspection test kit. I would need that. Uh, I do need boots for doing
inspections and stuff like that. Um, so >> it was in the budget anyway. Haven't used it. >> I have a uniform allowance in the budget, so I can take it from there. But I can, you know, be a little frugal and find other websites that I could probably get some
of the stuff cheaper. The board just approve and then I can send you the list of stuff and the cost. >> U, but if you want to just make a motion to give me a certain spending limit and then I'll start from there. How much do you need?
>> Uh, I think once I put everything in the cart, it was I want to say 230. >> Make a motion. >> It was >> $230. >> $230. >> That's it. >> Yeah. And 70 of that was boots. >> Oh, wow. >> Which 70 will come out of the uniform
allowance and the rest of it would come out of supplies. >> All right. I think maybe uh go up a little bit more than that. Why don't we say 500 just in case there's something that comes up that you need?
>> There was one thing that was >> I knew it. >> I couldn't find anywhere else, but I was going to ask the alliance to help. >> Yeah, I mean see if there's anything that they're willing to help with. >> Yeah, they've been very very generous,
>> which is great. >> Yeah. So, I will >> So, do you think 500 is is okay? >> It's reasonable for you. >> All right. I don't have a problem with that. >> No. >> Can I get a motion? >> Uh motion for item 6F, health agent
supplies with a budget of $500. >> I step down. I second that motion. Can I get a vote? I >> I. Motion passes. All right. We're moving on to G place renewal notices. So, uh, Liz and I were talking and for
the licenses that need to be renewed, um, instead of wasting money, or I shouldn't say wasting, let me choose my words a little better. Instead of spending money on sending things by mail, uh, we thought maybe if we had
everyone's email address, it would save a little bit of money. Yeah, >> most everyone >> uses an email >> except for me checks their email every day. Um, but most people check their email. >> Um, >> I I agree with that. The only thing you
have to be careful is spam, >> right? >> That's the only thing you got to be careful of. >> That's right. >> So, I would need to change the permits that don't have a line in there for email address. So, I would need a motion
to update all the permits that don't have that. >> Okay, you do that. Good. And >> also, as an FYI, >> you may be able to email them, but they may not be able to email you back because of our server. >> Ah, good point.
>> Because there are times that, you know, people send things out to me that I find months later. >> Okay. >> In my trash or my spam or something like that. They said they email I emailed you three times and I forgot it because the server will allow it.
>> You're talking about the blue mail >> here. >> Yes, I'm talking about Yeah. >> So, I'm glad you brought that up because just a little bit off topic is it got hacked and I told Ralph because I got an email that said it was from Ralph. >> I used to get those all the time. >> Did you see it?
>> I haven't seen it recently because I don't check Blue Mail because I have such a hard time with it. I just like you use my own. I need to talk to you about something, but it's a little that I need your help with that I'm not going to have time to do. >> Yeah, >> those have been going around going up
for decades, right? >> But yes. >> Yeah. >> So, you can't you may be able to email out to them, but they may not be able to email. >> Okay, that's a good point. >> You know, somebody's you go, well, they have renewed and I've emailed them three times. It could be that they're just not
getting it. >> Yeah. Well, correct me if I'm wrong. Most organizations, including the town, when they send you an email, there's always a line that says, "Don't respond back to this email chain because no one is monitoring it." And I would assume if you're doing license renewal notices,
you and you want to do it strictly online, you would have to give them a time frame to say moving forward, say in in a year's time from now or three months time from now, moving forward, it will not be mailed to you. It'll be emailed. That way they get those notices way in advance, right? cuz you're
changing the whole system, right? >> Cuz there has to be some time for that change to happen. >> Just my thought. >> Yeah. Maybe on the permit put that going forward. All renewal notices will be via email. >> Email people can Yeah. >> Yeah. Keep an eye out for it.

appreciate you including me in this. I just want to introduce myself to you guys. I am the regional public health specialist that I had heard Liz just mentioned. Um my position is kind of intended to be both like epidemiology as
well as kind of like a community health health promotion side. Um I'm definitely a little more data focused though. And so she had mentioned earlier I have um just un like opened basically a um a community health assessment. And so my
goal is to just kind of use data and collect data to identify needs in each of the regions or each of the communities in the region um so that we can develop relevant programming and try to help meet the needs of the community
members. Um, if there's anything that the board ever would like to maybe see done for Dyen or or for, you know, the Dyon Rahoba school system or something like that, definitely loop me into that. I'm always happy to help if I can, even
if it's not necessarily on my radar first. Um, so definitely I don't know if there's any my job is also kind of to just fill the gaps within the local health departments and so if there's anything you guys could ever think of absolutely keep me in mind and let me
know. >> That's Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you guys. >> Okay. Does anybody have anything else? >> Do we have to um approve the um next meeting? We didn't do that yet. No, I don't think we just announced just
announce it. Okay. Yeah. >> And we don't have to do anything to permit approvals. We don't have to do anything. >> The only thing we have to make a motion on now is journal. >> All right. I make a motion to adjourn. >> Step down. Second that motion. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Sydney. >> Thank you, Sydney. I just need to I
>> I for the next >> Thank you guys very much. So
