Health Inspector’s Reports

Brian is waiting to hear about his CORI application.

 

He had e-mail hand-outs about the recent tobacco case.  Duane said she can't understand why the citation from the Barnstable County Tobacco Control and Compliance Program should come to our local BoH in an appeal process.  She feels if the person accused wants to appeal it should be done before the above mentioned County Compliance Program.   

 

Ken Janson said that if it happens in the future, the consensus of the BoH is that the appeal should be sent directly to Barnstable.

 

Brian will follow-up on the procedure with Barnstable.  DG said the citation is all hearsay and no details, not even the name of the clerk.

 

Board Member Statements:

Dr. Livingstone has been working on the large groups of motorcycles and said that there’s a nuisance law as well as a decibel law.  How can we assess whether it’s a health issue or not?  Would it come under something further?

 

The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Evelyn Gaudiano
