The meeting of the Board of Health (BOH) was called to order by Mike Healey, seconded by Graham
Wilson. Passed 4-0.
Chipotle: Chris Musella from Chipotle attended the meeting. Chris reviewed the process of pumping traps,
take samples to be analyzed to find true levels of FOG. Chris used to use River Road for pumping, now uses
Elge Plumbing. Mike Healey brought up operational issues are the typical culprit in these situations and
wants to understand the procedures utilized to avoid grease going down the drains at the restaurant. Chris
says they clean drain socks daily, and that the outside trap had 4" solids on top at last pumping. Mike
reaffirms it is an operational issue.
Qdoba: Jose Arroyo from Qdoba attended the meeting. He states they have new sink drains, and that new
employee orientation includes proper procedures on how to clean dishes. Jose suggested he thinks that
Wind River is making up numbers on his pumping logs. Jose told Wind River that they cannot pump unless he
or the general manager is present. Jose commented he also had issues with Wind River servicing the outside
trap. He also commented they have a large strainer for the first sink to catch solids before they enter the
system. Mike commented to inquire if these procedures were written down.
Body Art Regulations: Shalyn Gamba attended the meeting regarding body art regulations and the number
of apprenticeships one can maintain. Shalyn was asked to explain her apprenticeship procedure. Shalyn
states she would only schedule to oversee one apprentice at a time. Shalyn offered to send her
apprenticeship plan to Amy. Amy will distribute to the board. Amy asks how apprenticeships are chosen.
Shalyn asks apprentices to have some background with the skin. She plans to train them on one procedure at
a time before moving on to the next procedure. Shalyn states she has overseen a total of 8 apprentices.
Antonia asks about how Shalyn will handle scheduling. Shalyn states that she would do direct work with one
apprentice while the other one focuses on book work. As for finding apprentices, Shalyn states that her main
avenue for that is social media.
Town Warrant: Includes article #33 about removing fluoridation from the town water supply. It was stated
that the board should discuss this further and the decision was made to do so.
