Board of Health learns youth services coordinator resigned; mosquito spraying planned in early June

The Fall River City Board of Health heard a director's report on May 28 that included a staffing vacancy and plans for mosquito control this summer.

Tess Curran, agent of the board, said Christian McCluskey's last day was May 28 and the department will post the youth services coordinator position. "Christian McCluskey's last day was actually today, and we will be posting that position," Curran said. She said she is preparing a job description and that McCluskey plans to continue working with Saint Vincent's and pursue other opportunities.

Curran told the board the department had recently been fully staffed but that the staff roster changed with McCluskey's resignation and that the department will seek a replacement. She also reported the department's new public‑health staff members are beginning community engagement work.

On seasonal operations, Curran said mosquito spraying coordinated with Bristol County Mosquito Control will begin in early June and that the health department plans to post public announcements in advance. "Mosquito spraying will begin, with Bristol County's mosquito control, in early June," she said.

Board members did not object to the schedule and asked the agent to follow up on scheduling for the next board meeting. No formal action was required on the items in the director's report; they were informational.
