BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING SEPTEMBER 13, 1976 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Monday, September 13, 1976, at 7:00 p.m. in room G-15 of the Town Office Building. Members present were: Dr. William L. Cosgrove, Chairman; Mr. James Lambie, Dr. Charles Ellicott and Director of Public Health, George A. Smith. The minutes of the June 7 and July 6, 1976 meetings were approved as typed. Mr. Smith explained that when the grading was done on the lot being developed by Dabid Zaloga at 21 North Street the contractor went down too deep which meant that they had to install a leach bed instead of the pits that was originally ap- 21 NORTH proved by the Board. STREET The Board approved the leach bed but they did want Mr. Smith to inform the tenants of this property that they would have to connect to the public sewer as soon as it was available. Mr. Smith said they understood that. Mr. Smith recalled to the Board about the Town of Lincoln requesting per- TOWN OF mission to dump sewage into the M.D.C. line in Lexington. He went on to report LINCOLN that at a meeting held with Mr. John McSweeney, Director of Public Works and a SEWAGE representative from Lincoln it was agreed that unless there was an extreme emergency the sewage would be taken to Framingham dumping station instead of the Lexington line. Framingham has agreed to take 300,000 gallons of effluent per day from the Town of Lincoln. Mr. Smith explained that what had caused this problem was a large apartment complex that had built its own treatment plant in South Lincoln. When this plant and complex was put into use it was found that the treatment plant could not handle all the effluent so therefore Lincoln had to find another disposal method for the excess effluent. The Board agreed that this was something that must be worked out with the M.D.C. and the Department of Public Works. Mr. Smith explained to the Board that hopefully we will have the vaccine to SWINE supply all the industrial plants located in Lexington and they will run their FLU own clinics if they have their own medical departments. The smaller industrial plants can refer their employees to either clinics in the town of residence or come to our clinics. Mr. Smith reported to the Board of Health that the Environmental Protection EPA Association had contacted the Health Department to see if we would give them SHOTS immunization shots as needed. He said he had referred them to Mrs. Tapia of the Tri -Community Health Services. Mrs. Tapia who was attending this meeting to discuss the Flu Clinic and the Tri Community Health Services said she had talked to the E.P.A. about an on going medical program. They would buy this service from the Tri -Community Health Services. Mr. Smith said he had a request from selectwoman, Mrs. Battin for a report WILD on wild Acre Inn. Also a call from a girl regarding the keeping of two pythons ACRE at the Inn. When an inspection was made it was discovered that the place had INN turned into a rubble in a few short months. At the time of this inspection Dr. yudowitz was away and when he returned he was very upset with Mr. Smith. He accused Mr. Smith of showing the correspondence regarding this establishment around the neighborhood. It was discovered that someone in a higher capacity than Mr. Smith had been showing the correspondence.
