1 1 1 399 Dr. Roemer said that it is draining on the Director to keep training someone and then when they are trained, they move on to another town or city and someone else gets the advantage. Nothing definite was decided and after a brief discussion, it was left to be taken up at a future meeting. Mr. Smith notified the Board that the Board of Selectmen have requested that the Board of Health meet with them at their meeting on November 21st. Dr. Roemer and Dr. Erdos would not be able to attend on that evening as they have previous commitments. Mr. Smith said he would talk to the Selectmen for a change of date because it was decided to have more than one member of the Board of Health available for this meeting. The Board of Health also felt that the Planning Board should also attend the Selectmen's Meeting that evening, also. The meeting of these Boards had been suggested by the Board of Health recommending that the Board of Selectmen (a) appoint a committee to look into the matter of RDNA and that they report the findings at the next Town Meeting and that (b) it place an article on the warrant for action by the Town Meeting to determine if it approves of or disapproves of recombinant DNA research in Lexington. Neither Mr. Lambie or Dr. Roemer have a position on this. The power of issuing the permit will be with the Board of Appeals. The Board of Health will have to set the regulations for DNA research if it is allowed in Town and will also have to regulate this. After discussion of this, the meeting was adjourned. Next meeting will be December 12, 1983 The Board of Health signed the following permits: Animal Permits Nathan T. Sidley, M.D. 2 Rogers Rd., Lexington Motel/Hotel Permits Battle Green Inn 1720 Mass.
