After discussion, the Board voted 3:0:0 to forward the following comments to CPDC and ZBA: • They would recommend no inside trash chute or inside trash storage, especially right next to a dwelling unit. They would recommend that all trash go to the dumpster indicated on the plan. They noted that both the ice cream store and the kitchen would be licensed under Chapter X of the State Sanitary Code and would require a separate plan review. Paperwork will be forwarded to the applicant. Public Hearing for amendment to Board of Health regulations Section 1.1 Definition 4 "Person" and Section 16 Sale or gift of Tobacco to Minors substitution of "Any person who" for "Whoever" and substitute "a" for "any" in the last line. There was no public present and no comment had been received. The Board voted 3:0:0 to approve the amendments as presented. Old Business: Clay gave the Board an updated report on the Adult Immunization Clinics. She noted that the REI employee clinic was well received for the second year. The Administrative Assistant is working to process the paperwork for reimbursement from Medicare for the influenza and pneumonia immunizations. Also noted was the Head School Nurse's reluctance to collect the Board of Health fee from the teachers for the immunizations, as reflected in the revenue. The Board instructed Clay to write a letter to Ms. McMahon concerning this issue. Clay noted that an in-house review of the blood pressure clinics revealed a great deal of confusion surrounding the existing schedule. Both participating VNAs have agreed to increase their volunteer commitment of hours so that each of the four sites will have a clinic each month (doubling the number of clinics). New Business: Annual appointment of the animal Inspectors were made for Diane Kurkjian for the barn book and Susan Tapley for the quarantine activities.
