Summary
The board approved April meeting minutes and heard from the health agent that mosquito samples in neighboring towns tested positive for West Nile virus; no local positives were reported.
The Lakeville Board of Health approved meeting minutes for April 2 and April 16 and received a public‑health update on mosquito surveillance during its July 2 meeting.
The board voted unanimously to approve the April 2 minutes and then the April 16 minutes. Each motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote with all members saying "Aye." (Three members were present.)
Health agent Ed reported two additional mosquito samples from nearby communities that tested positive for West Nile virus. "There were two more mosquito samples that contain West Nile virus," Ed said, and he identified the positive samples as coming from towns outside Lakeville. He told the board the recent positive detections were not in Lakeville but are the kind of seasonal finding the board typically monitors.
No new local response or additional measures were announced at the meeting. The board adjourned following the report.
