Brookfield Board of Health grants conditional permit to White's Landing after six-week delay

Other Committee · Meeting of March 25, 2026

Brookfield Board of Health issues conditional food permit to White's Landing and appoints interim clerk. The board voted unanimously to approve the 2026 food permit for White's Landing, operated by Patty White, on the condition that a well test be completed while the state Department of Environmental Protection determines whether the property qualifies as a public water supply — a process that had left the permit unissued for six weeks without notice to White or the board. Health agent Michelle of the Lester Coalition said the DEP inquiry arose from questions about the property's private well during a February 12 inspection, but White, who has operated under annual food permits for 25 years, told the board "there still isn't" adequate communication from the coalition.

The board also unanimously appointed Deb Young as interim clerk after the resignation of the previous clerk, approved a food permitting software contract with Relevant Systems Incorporated, and nominated Steve Novak and Young as animal inspectors for the coming year.
