Shingles vaccine
The Board reviewed a memo from Sheila Miller re the possibility of providing Zostavax (Shingles vaccine) to residents. She suggested that the Health Department provide the vaccine at cost...with individuals being required to pre-pay and pre-register for their dose. The Board was in general agreement that Sheila be invited to the next meeting to discuss issues related to this matter.... and be available to answer any questions that the BOH might have. Ed Welch also suggested that Elizabeth Barnett be invited to discuss the idea.
Future scheduling: Stan Rosen reported that Suzi Peck has asked that the BOH change some of its meeting nights, since Suzi is now on the Charter Commission (due to the death of George Bailey)...and the Charter Commission also meets on Monday nights. It was reiterated that Ed Welch would be available only on the first and second Wednesday of the month. Jay Schwab stated that Wednesday nights are not good for him due to other commitments. Stan Rosen stated that he, also, has prior commitments for other evenings. The board deliberated on this issue and agreed that the board is disinclined to change the meeting night at this time.
The Board agreed on the following meeting dates through August:
Wednesday May 13th (due to Town Meeting conflicts and other conflicts for Monday May 18th); Mondays June 1 and June 22, July 13 and 27, August 10 and 31.

Jesse Moreno provided and reviewed responses to questions raised by BOH members, as well as abutters. Stan Rosen noted that AECom consultant Marie Cannon will require additional funds to continue providing her expertise on this matter. Bob Shelmerdine asserted the applicant will pay. Later, Michael
Intoccia asserted that $10,000 will be provided to the Health Department 3/24.
At Suzi Peck’s suggestion, the Board and applicant agreed not to use the draft decision (prepared by Shelmerdine) out of concern for unintended consequences.

It was further agreed that the BOH would authorize the Chair to sign the permit....the minutes would document the approval...and the draft conditions (as edited at this hearing) would be attached.
The Board and applicant reviewed questions from Marie Cannon.... it was agreed that sampling and inspection and reports of such would be provided monthly. This item will be revised in the final conditions to the decision.
There was also discussion regarding the costs of review, permitting, etc.
There was further review and amending of the conditions of the decision. Attorney Shelmerdine will provide a final copy to the Board, as amended at this hearing.
VOTED: (Welch/Peck) unanimously to approve the exhibit “A” (Conditions of the decision) as amended and authorize the chair to sign the permit on behalf of the Board.
