.398 HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY BUDGET FY' MOSQUITO CONTROL TV MOVIE "THE DAY AFTER" Hazarous Waste Day went well. We collected 29 drums, mostly pesticides. It cost the Town $2.,480.00. 85 Mr. Smith said the Town Manager had extended our time for one week to finish the budgets for fiscal year 1985. Mrs. Smith has been working on the figures for the budget and Mr. Smith is working on the goals and accomplishments. Mrs. Smith and Mr. Smith will sit down towards the end of the week to com- plete the budget. He said that this year there is no need to have large in- creases on eigher the Animal Control or the Health budgets. Rabies Clinic budget will stay the same. FLU CLINIC COMPLAINT SEASONAL INSPECTION REPORTS SOT 16 152 SPRING STREET Mosquito control is completed for the summer work. Next year, it is Dr. Grady's prediction that the EEE could be prominent, so we may have to do heavy spraying (larvaciding) early. It is undecided at this time what amount the Board will request for mosquito control. A letter was received from Baylis Walker, Commissioner of Public Health for the State, about the TV movie "The Day After". Mr. Walker has suggested that local health departments may receive calls from parents the next day saying that their children have emotional problems from watching the movie. Mr. Smith wanted the Board to know that he received a complaint from Jack Gardner, senior citizen, about the flu vaccine clinic. He missed our original clinic that was held on October 6, 1983 and went to the make-up clinic at the Greeley Village Blood Pressure Clinic. The nurse refused to give him the shot because he had an allergy shot the day before. He said he went to Concord and received the vaccine and they didn't ask anything about other shots. Mr. Smith told the Board that it is the Town's policy not to give the vaccine if any other shots had been given within two weeks. The Board of Selectmen send down memos this time of year asking for recent inspection reports made for hotels/motels before the Selectmen re -new the licenses. They also ask for a memo on inspections made of the food service facilities that serve liquor before the Selectmen issue the liquor licenses. This log had been approved in 1972. The foundation had been put in and has since been torn down. Septic system had been approved at that time. Mr. Smith said he has told Peter DiMatteo, Building Commissioner, to hold up the current building permit until he could find out what they have planned for the septic system. Mr. Smith said he had received a letter stating what is happening in regard to the septic system. The tank had been demolished but the leaching fields are intact. Mr. Smith sees no problems with this and has advised the builder to re -apply for a septic system permit. There was a brief discussion about trying again to get a full-time sanitarian to assist the Health Director with inspection, etc. Mr. Smith thinks it is time to get someone that would be permanent. There is continually more work coming into the department and a full-time assistant would take some of the load off the Director's back.
