The Board checked the Health Department budget and a total of three thou- <br />sand dollars was added because it has been indicated that we might have to <br />offer Influenza Vaccine to the general public in 1977. <br />The new federal law requires more sampling of water (drinking) than has <br />been done in the past. The testing of water in the past has been up to the <br />Lawrence Experimental Station but they are going to cut down on their services <br />to the towns and the new E.P.A. standards are requiring a lot more testing of <br />the public water supply. Enforcement of this law has been set up so that it <br />may be delegated to the State but if they decide not to do it and delegate it <br />to the local towns then we could be responsible. <br />Dr. Cosgrove said we should put into the budget enough funds to cover this <br />project if we felt we were to be responsible. <br />Mr. Lambie said he felt a letter should be sent to Mr. John <br />stating that he should be aware of these new regulations so that <br />arrangements to cover these expenses in his budget as long as he <br />of the water department. <br />McSweeney <br />he could make <br />was in charge <br />Mr. Smith reported that he was doing more and more with the housing in- <br />spections. He went on to say that he has had to let some of his restaurant <br />work go because of so much other work. <br />Dr. Erdos asked how much power does the Board of Health have? He said <br />he noticed in some of the restaurants the help did not wear hair restraints <br />and were also working in street clothes. <br />Mr. Smith said any member of the Board can take action if they deem <br />it necessary. He agreed with Dr. Erdos about the restaurants and he ex- <br />plained that notices have been sent to all restaurant owners and managers <br />regarding hair restraints and correct hygiene of the help. Last Spring <br />a training course was held for all restaurant, nursing homes and school <br />Cafeteria help explaiNing the correct food handling procedures, but as long <br />as these places have to employ inexperienced help they will have problems. <br />Mr. Smith said he had the restaurants shaping up very well but with so <br />many new programs he has not been able to keep on them and in order for them <br />to operate as they should you must watch them all the time. <br />BUDGET <br />ADDITIONAL <br />DUTIES FOR <br />MR. SMITH <br />RESTAURANTS <br />The Board suggested that a letter be sent to Mr. Perry, Acting Town Manager <br />requesting an assistant for the Health Director. If this assistant cannot be <br />hired right away at least provisions made in the new budget for an assistant. <br />The following permits were signed by the Board: <br />Food Service Permits: <br />Raytheon Corp. Cafeteria <br />LeBellecour Restaurant <br />Meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. <br />BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING <br />DECEMBER 6, 1976 <br />The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Monday, December 6, <br />1976 at 7:00 p.m. in the Board of Health Office of the Town Office Building. <br />All members were present. <br />
