Official Text

That the Director of Inspectional Services establish a dry ice rat extermination program.  [Additional information for the item: News reports indicate that Leo Bouchard of Boston ISD has determined a workaround for the federal regulation problem last cited for us being unable to use dry ice for rat elimination. We request that the Director of ISD have personnel follow up with Boston ISD and prepare a plan for an aggressive rat control program using dry ice to target rat burrows.]
