A brief discussion was held about the growing SARS epidemic and the need to disseminate proper information relative to symptoms and treatment.

The Board reviewed a letter from Peter Kolodiej of the Tri-Town Health Department regarding recent compliance checks at which tobacco products were sold to a youth under 18 years old by O’Brien’s Market and Lenox News and Variety. On a motion by M. Feder, seconded by J. Kellogg, the Board voted 3-0 to assess a fine of $100 to each establishment for the violations.
