Report/Updates G. Sullivan—Asked if the Board of Health has a policy about bed
bugs in regards to excluding affected students from school?
D. Greenbaum—There is no official policy.
B. Poremba—Are there any fact sheets that we can hand out to the
public?
D. Greenbaum—We have been distributing the bed bug fact sheet
from MA DPH. This was distributed at the household hazardous
waste day and has been given to anyone who has requested it. The
fact sheet is also available on the City website. The Board discussed
writing a letter to the editor about bedbugs.
Dr. Lucas volunteered to write a letter to the editor to explain public
health issues vs. nuisance of bed bugs.
D. Greenbaum—The DPH has received a 5 year grant through the CDC
to work towards creating regional health districts. The first 3 years of
the grant are fully funded,the 4"'year is funded at 75%and the 51'year
is funded at 50%. After that there will be no additional funding. A
meeting was held in Tewksbury that David was not able to attend,
although M.Fair did attend the meeting.
M. Fair—Explains that the initial grants will be planning grants that at
least 3 parties need to sign, i.e.Mayor, BOH member or Director. There
should be more information on the MHAO website about the grants. We
would have to apply for these grants by the end of February.
Dr. Poremba suggested we reach out to other Health Departments to let
. them know we are interested in looking into these grants. Board
members concluded that D. Greenbaum should speak with other
neighboring BOH to let them know that Salem is interested in
collaborating on this grant.
An architect in Salem would like to address the board about including
the use of electric sanders with HEPA filter vacuums in the City of
Salem. This architect would like to see this incorporated into Salem's
exterior paint removal regulations. The Board suggested she come
before them with more information about this matter.
An applicant for a permit to be a tattoo artist came to the Board of .
Health office concerned that he had no record of his graduation from
high school because his diploma and all records of his graduation were
destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. The Body Art regulations require a high
school diploma or GED. He would like a variance to this requirement.
He is permitted as a Tattoo Artist in Quincy because the Quincy Board
of Health does not require a high school diploma or GED. The board
requested that David do some more research into this matter to
determine if there is any way to obtain a copy of the applicants'
diploma.
D. City Council Liaison A new Council President will be taking over the Council next year.
Updates Jerry Ryan will be the new Council President. Councilor Furey has
enjoyed working with the Board over the past year and will be
requesting he be appointed the City Council Liaison to the Board of
Health again next year.
