Jim McGrath, City of Pittsfield came forward to discuss the application
(ATTACHMENT A.) The project consists of two parts: repairing the existing fishing hut
and maintenance on the southern boardwalk. This is part of a larger project regarding
maintenance on the dam. The park remains open year-round and is well used.
Mr. Pill asked about the boardwalk. It may be elevated above the ground in some spots,
given the terrain. Accessibility is always a concern for the city. An ADA trail was
installed a few years ago by Greenagers.

Convening
The meeting of the Pittsfield Board of Health was held on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 , at City Hall,
Room 203. Chairperson Elliott called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM.
Public Comments: Alexander Schwartz of 11 Second St., appeared from Homes not Handcuffs. He
shared his appreciation of the Boards’ diligence in the Camping Ordinance review. He noted that the
camping ban ordinance still has language criminalizing storing belongings and asked that
criminalization language be removed.
Berkshire Pipe & Tobacco Permit Revocation: Andy Cambi began by reminding the Board that the
store owners were to appear at the December meeting but failed to appear. He noted that the store’s
tobacco permit had been revoked at that meeting. Chairperson Elliott and Mr. Cambi reiterated that
the most recent violation was for selling tobacco products without a proper Department of Revenue tax
stamp, while the establishment was still under a permit suspension for previous violations. Mr. Cambi
shared that he supports the decision made by the Board since the establishment did not adhere to the
conditions of their initial suspension and that they have been given ample opportunity to stay in
compliance, which they have consistently failed to do. Nipul Saluja began by apologizing for their
