Board names Health Assistant Jennine Blum an agent so she can access state training and inspections
Summary
On May 27 the Carlisle Board of Health voted unanimously to appoint Health Assistant Jennine Blum an agent under M.G.L. c.111 §30, allowing her to take state training and to conduct inspections after certification; the appointment does not change her job title.
The Carlisle Board of Health unanimously voted May 27 to appoint Health Assistant Jennine Blum as an agent under M.G.L. c.111 §30, enabling her to take state-offered training and, after completing required certification, perform certain inspections in town.
Kelli Calo, Carlisle’s Health Director, told the board that some state training opportunities require an agent appointment. She said the vote would not change Blum’s job title but would "open up the future possibilities for Jennine to conduct some inspections in town after receiving the training." Will Proctor moved to appoint Blum; Tony Mariano seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The statutory citation referenced by the board was M.G.L. c. 111, § 30, the board said during the discussion. Board members did not attach additional conditions to the appointment; the item was handled as a single procedural vote at the May 27 meeting.
Next steps outlined by the board included allowing Blum to enroll in the qualifying training and documenting any inspection authorities she exercises once certified. No changes to staffing titles or pay were recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
