Minutes from May meetings on the 11th and 24th were approved with a motion from Marcia \n and a second from Carol \n 2. Leyden’s plan to opt out of mosquito spraying was submitted to state but returned to correct. \n Official minutes with town seal and certified by town clerk were necessary. Done and \n resubmitted. We are waiting for approval. \n 3. PFAS testing of wells in Leyden has been opened up to the entire town. Website is in July \n Leyden Life and on town website if you wish to participate. \n 4. BOH voted to require masks to be worn at annual town meeting on May 24. Meeting was \n changed to an outdoor venue with social distancing so masks were not required per Gov. \n Baker. \n 5. 20 tick tests were purchased by the BOH and can now be used by residents. Website is \n www.tickreport.com. Credit will be applied according to zip code and final cost to resident \n for tick testing will be $15.00 \n 6.

Assessment to Leyden for FRCOG/CPHS membership went down to about $4200 for FY \n 2022. Decrease due to grant from state to FRCOG for about $285,000. \n 10. pollinator.org is a website the FRCOG is recommending for towns to help to map out a \n pollinator corridor in Franklin county.

No citizen concerns \n 13. BOH concern. A porcupine acting unusual at Ann Zavaruha’s property on April 13, was \n called in to Leyden police. Chief Dan Galvis responded.

Unless pressing issue, BOH will not meet for July.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.200798,"width":0.7621530000000001,"height":0.49830699999999994}},{"text":"Adjourned at 3:11 pm with motion from Beth and second from Marcia","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.711922,"width":0.548757,"height":0.019152999999999976}},{"text":"Submitted by chair Elizabeth Kuzdeba.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.743929,"width":0.308785,"height":0.019152999999999976}},{"text":"6/28/2021","bbox":{"left":0.436552,"top":0.743929,"width":0.07982399999999995,"height":0.019152999999999976}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
