Members present were: Dr. Donald Goldmann, Dr. Stanley Finkelstein, Jacquelyn Selway, Sanitarian, and Mr. George Smith, Jr., Director of Public Health. Mr. Smith opened the meeting by acknowledging the sudden passing of the Board Chairman, Dr. Howard Asarkof. Mr. Smith and the Board members indicated he would be missed. Mr. Barbara Manford, Senior Architect for Tippetts . Abbett . McCarthy . Stratton, Engineers, Architects and Planners in Boston, appeared to request the Board of Health support in requesting a variance of the State Plumbing Code for work renovation being undertaken at Estabrook School. The request is for a variance from Section 2.10 Table 2: Plumbing Fixtures Required for Schools. The TAMS request is for a minor reduction in the existing number of toilet fixtures. The reduction will result from the conversion of two toilet rooms for handicapped accessibility. The school was originally built to accommodate 600 students; current enrollment is projected to be 400-430. Mr. Smith indicated that the Plumbing Inspector did not have any objections to this proposal. After a review, the Board agreed to forward this request to the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Mrs. Jane Tapis appeared at 8:00 p.m. relative to VNCH contract for the coming year. In addition, she was there to present the budget and a request to increase the hourly rate from the current rate of $23.00/hour to $30.00/hour. Appointment Barbara Manford TAMS Con- sultant Appointment Jayne Tapia Director VNCH 538 Sanitarian Resignation Board of Hlth Member Replacement Mosquito Larviciding Program: Tophet Dr. Finkelstein questioned Jayne on what the V.N. actually do. Mrs. Tapia stated they handle the Blood Pressure Clinics and also what the weight of the elderly, cover communicable disease follow-up and health promotion. Dr. Finkelstein said he believed the town should undertake a serious review of programs that visiting nurses offer the town and any contract should be reviewed by both health and human services with only one being accountable. Dr. Goldmann requested some specific material and a copy of the contract before the next Board meeting - a breakdown of effort levels of the three areas - also, a comparison of rates from other towns. Dr. Goldmann feels the budget could only be 5% inflation. Dr. Finkelstein said 22% increase is too large. The Board decided against making any decisions until another meeting time. Mr. Smith, Dr. Finkelstein and Steve Baran of Human Services, would meet with Jayne Tapia at the Visiting Nurses Association in Arlington where they could go over all the records. Jayne Tapia thanked the Board and adjourned at 8:35 p.m. Mr. Smith announced that Sanitarian Jacqueline Selway has resigned. She is planning to take a job in the private sector as a real estate appraiser. Mr. Smith said he was hopeful that a replacement could be found shortly. Mr. Smith indicated that the Town Manager was working to find a replacement to fill Dr. Asarkof's vacancy. Mr. Smith indicated that Dr. Linda Roemer, a past Board member was available and there is a possibility she might return to the Board. Mr. Smith indicated the larviciding program for Tophet swamp was scheduled for today (April 21). It had been delayed due to the weather, however, it is thought that we could complete this project before the day was over. The project utilized BTI, a Biological Pesticide which is used specifically for mosquito or black fly control. This materials has virtually no impact on non -target species. Dr. Goldmann mentioned he spoke to Bob Delulio again, who said he could not and did not have time to answer all the questions they requested. Dr. Gold- mann told him to pick about three questions. He was especially interested in AIDS Program and Lifeline on Channel 4. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. A tentative date of May 12, 1987 was selected for the next meeting.
