Environmental health staff report 50 contacts, multiple condemnations and ongoing property abatements
Summary
Environmental health staff told the board they handled 50 contacts in June–July including 12 dog bites and three bat exposures, reported multiple condemned or abated properties across the county, and described food-establishment and festival inspections.
Environmental health staff presented the department's June–July activity, saying "50 contacts total, 12 dog and 3 bat exposures." Staff reported that 11 of the 12 dog bite cases completed the 10‑day quarantine and one dog remained in quarantine. At least one bat exposure sample was sent to the state laboratory; results were described as indeterminate for that submission.
Staff reviewed property enforcement actions across several towns: referrals and abatement orders for properties in Plainfield and Pine River, condemnation of at least one dwelling in Matoma (noted as found unfit for habitation), continued work with owners in Hancock and Redgranite on code violations, and referrals to local law enforcement when appropriate. Staff also described food-safety and festival inspections, including a temporary-hold action on a food vendor that was later released with guidance from environmental-health staff and technical partners.
