FM #562 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 562 in the series.

This session of the radio show shares the Board of Health meeting held on Wednesday, June 9, 2021.

The meeting was conducted in person at the Municipal Bldg third floor training room. There was also a Zoom session for remote participation and no one did. This was the first in person meeting since Feb 2020.

Links to the meeting agenda and associated documents are included in the show notes. The recording runs about 31 minutes, so let’s listen to the Board of Health meeting for June.
