These topics were discussed <br />at the last Board of Health meeting in January. Barry Jacobs asked whether or not the Adverse <br />Public Health Condition would be discussed.

Upon request it will be added to the joint meeting agenda and the Board of Health will <br />look at it again after more consultation with Mr. Gledhill.
