16 Estabrook Road; On September 24, 2016 at 8:30PM, Lexington Police Department responded <br />to a lockout call at 16 Estabrook Road. Currently Director Cody is working with Human Services <br />to provide available services to the homeowner. <br />A new Lodging Place Regulation has been proposed for the Board of Health to consider. Mr. <br />Cody attended a Webinar session that addressed the subject matter for this regulation on May 10, <br />2016. The Health Director discussed a local regulation that will allow all applicable codes, <br />regulations and definitions into one document. Currently, there is no one “go to” document that <br />can be referenced for various issues related to nuisance or state sanitary code matters for various <br />types of Lodging Places. <br />Recently the Lexington Police asked the BOH to consider a Bodywork works establishment <br />regulation, (similar to what surrounding towns have enacted), in order to help reduce crime <br />related to prostitution. The BOH has instructed the Office of Public Health to initiate the <br />process of drafting a Bodywork’s regulation. <br />Tick surveillance; A grant was received from the Community Endowment of Lexington to <br />conduct tick surveillance, tick-borne disease testing and “tick tube” deployment in target areas in <br />town. The Office of Public Health has contracted with Vector Disease Control International and <br />stst <br />the work will take place between June 1 and December 31, 2016. Ongoing deployment and <br />testing is currently in progress. <br />Tobacco Program update; A sign for establishments that sell tobacco products has been designed. <br />Director Cody reviewed the graphic and content that would best reflect Article III, Smoking and <br />Youth Access to Tobacco Products. <br />The Emergency Preparedness report was reviewed. It was noted to the BOH that the October <br />29, 2016 Public Flu Clinic would be considered an Emergency Dispensing Site, (EDS) drill for <br />the staff and MRC volunteers to practice plans to deploy vaccine in case of a disease threat. <br />Sharon MacKenzie R.N., CCM, motioned that the meeting be adjourned and John J. Flynn, <br />seconded. All were in favor. The meeting adjourned at 8:35 PM. <br />It was noted that the next meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 16, 2016. <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />BOH October 2016 <br />
