46€ MOSQUITO CONTROL HANSCOM AIR BASE OIL SPILLS HEALTH FAIR DENTAL EXAMS LEAD PAINT SCREENING RABIES CLINIC -2- Mr. Smith told the Board that he requires a person or company submit a plan before they start the work on removing of the asbestos, or repairing it. Dr. Gal.dmann said he didn't think it was too well publicized that a person must let the Board of Health know what their plans are for repair or removal. He said most people are not aware of what they should do and he feels an article should be put in the newspaper making people aware of this procedure for repair or removal of asbestos. Mr. Smith told the Board that he had a meeting with Captain Gaxsetter of Air Force Base. The Captain was not aware that the base medical department should be reporting communicable diseases and dog bites to us. These communi cables are for Lexington residents that go to the base for treatment. The dog bites should be reported to whatever town the dog resides. Mosquito control at the Air Base is interested in joining E.M.M.C.P. They wanted Mr. Smith to write a letter to the base about mosquito control, etc. and Mr. Smith did this but he does not think they will vote to go into the project. Up until now all Hanscom does now for mosquitoes is spray. Mr. Henley could get in there and do some work all around the Minute Man Vocational Technical, School. If the base does vote to go into the mosquito control they could not join until October 1, 1985 because that is when their fiscal year begins. Mr. Smith said that the three oil spills are are at various stages A Dunback Meadow resident is fighting "paying" in court. Oxford Street house owner whose oil tank leaked into ground, is fighting his case. Town of Arlington - doesn't want to cooperate. The Health Fair sponsored by the Symmes Hospital will be Saturday, May 11. Dr. Asarkof told the members that six private dentists were going to hold a "dental exam" eveings for people 65 years of age and older. Mr. Smith told the Board that the "action level" for read paint has been decreased by the state. Mr. Smith said we have had screenings in the past, these screenings can also detect anemia. In the eleven years that Mr. Smith has been here in the Health Department he has never had one case of lead poisoned child. Mr. Smith told the Board that our rabies clinic will be held in early June June 6th to be exact. He has contacted Dr. Smith in regard to this and they will be meeting soon. Mr. Smith is thinking about having the clinic for just one day but is a little reluctant to do so. There have been several rubbish complaints about the centre area. Mr. Smith has talked to the Chamber of Commerce about this and they will put some- thing in their newsletter. 1 1
