What this means
The committee did not hold a regular discussion and instead approved a package of consent items. Those approvals extended waste-management agreements, added funding to a school-based healthy food grant, and set up or continued multiple environmental health contracts for services like asbestos, lead, radon, and indoor air quality work. The committee also extended support for Family Connects, a program that connects parents of newborns with community resources through postpartum nurse home visits.
