Board of Health gets update on housing condemnation in process, monthly report in short session (audio)

FM #1332 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1332 the series. 


This session of the radio show shares the Town of Franklin Board of Health Meeting held on Wednesday, Dec 4, 2024. The meeting agenda listed it being conducted via Google meet and with no location shown, it was assumed to be virtual. However, the 2 members of the Board (1 absent, Sweet) and Health Dept members were present together. 


Quick Recap:

  • The meeting audio quality improves considerably after the first minute

  • Meeting schedule for 2025, motion to approve, second, passes 2-0-1 (1 absent)

  • Oakland Pkwy condemnation discussion, unsanitary conditions, hole in roof, no working bathrooms, etc. House was placarded, owner/occupants refused to leave, multiple agencies worked with them to get them elsewhere. Fire occurred on 2nd floor, insurance provided a trailer. One permit was pulled but work has not yet been started or completed. Been over a year without movement by owner, visit being scheduled, could take track with the Attorney General's office to get movement to get a resolution. Will provide additional info next time. Hard situation as there has been lack of compliance in this case. Insurance money not being used for repairs.

  • Moving on to Kerri, health agent covers report, (hard to hear via bridge) 6 re-inspections today.

  • Alecia, health nurse report, only 10 COVID cases, test kits Available at Senior Center, is flu season but only 5 confirmed cases thus far. Food recalls, cucumbers (Sunset brand), Central Park terrace food pantry monthly, clinics, classes, etc. food board illness training for Tri-County; webinar and trainings continued.
