Hubbardston Board of Health signs food and installer permits, waives fee for educational reptile show
Summary
At its May 14 meeting the board cleared several permits — including mobile food and septic‑installer permits — and agreed to waive the fee for a June 7 educational reptile show while retaining documentation requirements; the board also approved the meeting minutes by voice vote.
The Town of Hubbardston Board of Health signed multiple permits and reviewed inspection paperwork at its May 14 meeting, approving mobile food and installer permits, clearing a food-safety file for a mobile vendor and waiving the fee for a one‑day educational reptile show scheduled for June 7.
Minutes and formal action A motion to accept the minutes of the prior meeting was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. The board recorded the outcome as an affirmative voice vote and moved on to permit business.
Food-service and event permits Staff reported that Maddie’s Ice Cream had supplied all outstanding documentation that had been missing at the prior meeting (including a mobile permit/inspection from the vendor’s home jurisdiction and an updated water test and ServSafe certificate). With the updated paperwork, the board cleared the file and the vendor may proceed under the town’s mobile-food rules.
The board also reviewed a one‑day, educational animal experience (reptile show) scheduled for Saturday, June 7. Because the event is educational, the board waived the application fee, but members confirmed that required public-health documentation — copies of current licenses, a certificate from a veterinarian where applicable, and other animal-handling permits — must still be provided to staff.
Septic‑installer permits and inspections The board signed installer permits for applicants including Corey Wilson of Cochran's Trucking (Winchendon) and reviewed an application from Mountain View Septic Installer; staff confirmed licensing and recommended approval. The board also reported upcoming commercial inspections at the Rod and Gun Club and a school inspection scheduled for the week following the meeting.
Why it matters These routine permit approvals and follow‑up inspections ensure vendors and installers meet local public-health standards and allow seasonal events and mobile food service to proceed with town oversight.
