42 Dr. Roemer wanted to know about giving a food handlers course for people to be hired in a food establishment. Perhaps we could "contract out" for someone to come in and give one. There is an organization N.I.F.I. that does this. Some towns withhold licenses of food establishments until all food handlers have taken a food handlers course. It seems to be a little difficult to enforce because employees keep changing. GREEN & Mr. Smith told the Board that the developers of the Green & White land WHITE came into the office with their definitive plan (100+ houses). He will LAND write them a letter and invite them into our next board meeting, Mr. Smith said. This piece of land is approximately 200 acres, but it is not all buildable. It is not the choicest piece of land but they are working it out. MAPLE This is a four or five lot subdivision. The Planning Board apprived TREE FARM this subdivision without anything from the Board of Health. Nothing had been submitted to the Board from the owners or builders of this piece of property. CATALDO LANDFILL The State law requires the plans to be submitted simultaneously to the Board of Health, Planning Board and the Town Clerk. Mrs. Jayne Tapia, Administrator of the Visiting Nurse Assocation came before the Board at 8:00 p.m. to discuss next year's budget, Fiscal Year 85. The V.N.A. wants to raise their hourly rate from $18.00 to $20.00 per hour. She said that at $18.00 they are really undercharging. It should be at least $21.00 per hour but she is only putting in for $20.00 per hour for FY/85. Fiscal Year 86 she will be submitting a request for $23.00 per hour. She said when the volume of service goes down, costs go up and there has been a 29% reduction of service hours. The C.O.A. is relocating to the Muzzey Jr. High property site and as Mrs. Tapia understands Lexington Medical Associates are going to have an office there. Mr. Lambie said this may reduce the number of people that the C.O.A. would have at their well -elderly clinics. Mrs. Tapia said she will send in a copy of the new contract for review. Mrs. Tapia asked Mr. Smith did he want just one nurse at the Rabies Clinic: He said that one nurse was sufficient to fill syringes. He said that next year he is going to run the rabies clinic just one day. Mr. Lambie thanked Mrs. Tapia for coming before the Board. Mrs. Tapia thanked the Board and retired. Mr. Smith told the Board that there was an article in the newspaper two weeks ago stating that Mark Moore is purchasing the Cataldo land on Bow Street. This is the land that the Board of Health has been giving Mr. Cataldo a permit "to operate the Agriculture Land Improvement Program on his farm". It has been heard that Mr. Mark Moore wants to build single family homes on this land. 1 1
