1. Sr. Sanitarian J. Mancini has resigned as Sr. Sanitarian, leaving an open position. D. Greenbaum reports that in spite of the unfilled positions, the - department is functioning well. He is interested in applying for the Sr. Sanitarian position while in the position of Acting Health Agent. The board supports this and agrees that should he receive the Sr. Sanitarian position, he would still receive the additional compensation for Acting Health
Agent.
2. Health Agent/Regionalization There have been no solid candidates for the Interim Health Agent position posted. The regionalization concept remains open. Mayor Driscoll has discussed it again with the Mayor of Peabody. Chair suggests that we allow Mayor to facilitate and initiate any plans
for discussion with Peabody BOH. If there is interest in collaboration, then members of both boards may meet for a discussion of the viability of this option. If it is viable, then the board will pursue this option and seek the aid of a consultant for guidance in the process. If it is not viable, then the board will proceed in hiring a permanent health agent. A time line for initiating the process will be 2 months. Chair will update members as information becomes available.
