The Town of Charlton Board of Health recorded three formal outcomes at its Feb. 11 meeting.

Accepted minutes: The board voted to accept the minutes of the Jan. 7, 2025 meeting. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with "Aye" responses.

Leland Drive variances: The board approved plans presented by McClure Engineering to allow three local upgrade variances for properties at 33, 35 and 37 Leland Drive. The vote was recorded by voice as unanimous "Aye." (See separate article on the Leland Drive septic variance for details on adjacent-well testing and staff follow-up.)

Tobacco-seller suspension reduced: The board voted to reduce a three-day suspension of tobacco sales assessed after a compliance sting to a one-day suspension; the owner may select March 3 or March 10 to serve the suspension. The board noted it could not reduce the mandatory $1,000 fine because the governor’s directive or state enforcement practice sets that penalty amount. The motion to reduce the suspension to one day carried by unanimous voice vote.

All three actions were taken by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
