In answer to question three, Mr. Smith said he was out there a month ago and it wasn't in very good shape, plenty of manure. Mr. Osgood said that they take very good care of the pony. He can give to Board the name of the veterinarian if they would want to check. Barry Littleton, Animal Control Officer for the Town of Lexington, said he was there today and the only problem he saw was an excessive amount of manure in the corral area. He said they have recently started to put the manure in containers. Mr. Smith asked if there was any debris around there now. Mr. Littleton said it had been cleaned up. He suggested the Board give the permit contingent upon their fixing the fence and cleaning up the manure. Mr. Smith said he would go over on Tuesday and check the situation out. Mr. Osgood thanked the Board and retired. Mrs. Tapia came before the Board at 7:45 p.m. She said the "team leader" for Lexington is Terry Huluchyji., R.N. and Mrs. Tapia wondered if Terry could come to a few meetings and see what the Board does and perhaps enlighten the Board to what the visiting nurses do. The Board agreed that it would be a good idea for Mrs. Huluchyji to do this. Mrs. Tapia asked permission to raise the hourly rate from $12.00 per hour to $13.00 for services to the town. The Board agreed to that. Mr. Lambie asked how that compared to their budget. Mrs. Tapia said they have spent under their budget for 1979-1980. Mrs. Tapia brought the new contract in to be signed for the 1980-1981 fiscal year budget. Mrs. Tapia also discussed a disbetes discussion group they will be having at Vyne- brook Village in conjunction with the Diabetes Society. They will be held on August 21, 28 and Sept. 4th and llth. Mr. Smith requested that he would like a written report after the group finishes to put into our annual report. Dr. Cosgrove asked if Mrs. Tapia had done much with summer programs at Hayden or at the Bridge School this year. Mrs. Tapia said, "No". She said usually the Recreation Department has them giving the first aid course but this year they did not call them. Mrs. Tapia then spoke about a lady at Vynebrook Village that needs daily dressings. It will be for an indefinite period. She wanted to know if the Visiting Nurses could bill the Town for one visit a month. Mrs. Tapia said she cannot pay very much and really needs the care. The Board asked if she couldn't get welfare or medicaid. Mrs. Tapia said that the woman didn't want to apply. Couldn't the Board pay for one visit a month.
