The licensing board today approved the transfer of the Manager of Record from Patrick Mendoza, who is currently being held on charges relating to the shooting last month on Hanover street.

Mendoza family attorney, William Ferullo asked the standard questions of McQueen for the board:

The third floor of NEWHealth's North End building will be closed for four weeks from August 7th - September 3rd.

During this time, the dental and vision departments will be relocated to NEWHealth's Charlestown site at 15 Tufts Street. Podiatry services will remain at the North End location but will be relocated to the first floor.

If the ceiling installation takes longer than anticipated, NEWHealth will alert the community.

Neighborhood Council president Joel Faller outlined proposed changes to the Council's bylaws at the July meeting. Notably:

Patrick Mendoza was arrested today by Boston Police Fugitive Unit. Police say that Mendoza will be arraigned today in Boston Municipal Court.
