OTHER BUSINESS:

Region II Coordinator, Kerry Clark was unable to attend the meeting to discuss the Mutual Aid Agreement and the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) for the Town of Holden.

Andrea Crete briefly explained that the concern regarding the existing Mutual Aid Agreement was that it did not involve all of Region II, and that she would arrange for Kerry Clark to meet with the Board to discuss further details.  A. Crete also explained that the COOP is a template used by towns in the case that there is a public health emergency in which certain persons would be delegated specific duties in order for the Board of Health to continue to operate if current staff were not available.  The Board reviewed specific areas of the Plan delegating certain duties to each member for approval.  All in favor.  Approved.

Andrea also presented a Region II Call Down List Sheet that needed M. Waite's information to be filled in.  The information was filled in and copies were made to all the Board members.
