The Milton Board of Health meeting was held October 26, 2026. The board approved the Massachusetts Health Officers Association (MHA) as an agent to conduct tobacco retailer compliance checks at no cost to the town. It also approved sending a letter requesting $1,000 for a townwide language-line service. The board approved revisions to opioid-abatement grant application materials, including a funeral-expense application, and voted to award the Hope Center $1,200 for its proposed Milton services; members requested a formal application and information on how many Milton residents it serves. The department reported receiving $12,000 from the Governor’s fund for food purchases, and noted that its FY28 budget of $471,588 had been submitted for consideration, with a board vote planned for a future meeting.

Members continued discussion of proposed short-term-rental regulations, including which body would regulate them, inspection frequency, staffing and administrative costs, enforcement, and occupancy limits; no decisions were made, and further meetings are planned. The board also discussed an emergency condemnation order for both buildings at 9 Thatcher Street, but no vote is recorded in the transcript.
