CMR 43 5.23 (1) Lifeguards. Mr. Vic advised the Board that he has registered to become a CPO but currently a CPO from the Woburn Quality Inn is coming over to the Lexington facility to check the pool every day. Perlmutter mentioned that the pool has been opened for a month without a lifeguard and that is very serious. MacKenzie also asked Mr. Vic to review the pool files concerning chlorination issues during the previous season. Geller motioned that the Lexington Board of Health grants the variance request from the requirement of lifeguards for the safe operation of pools as listed under 105 CMR 435.23(l) to the Quality Inn and Suites. In addition, all the requirements of 105 CMR 435.23(2) shall be met including all signage which includes: "Warning No Lifeguard on Duty" in easy to read legible letters which are at least four inches high "Children under age 16 should not use swimming pool without an adult in attendance" and another sign that states, "Adults should not swim alone ". This variance will expire at the end of the Seasonal Pool season or upon notification of an unsafe operating condition. MacKenzie seconded. All approved. State Sanitary Code Update 14 Hamblen Street — Cody advised the Board that he will be reinspecting this property tomorrow with the Building Inspector and Fire Inspector. He asked the owner of the property not to be there at the property during the inspection. The tenant is stating that an odor is coming from a room that is locked and unavailable to the tenant. Cody will have a better report at the next meeting. 94 Hartwell Avenue — Cody said this should have been closed out by now but he has not received any information that this cleanup has been completed. Community Health Updates /Reports The Board reviewed the Community Health Report for August 2011 prepared by David Neylon, R.N., Public Health Nurse. All follow -ups for the nine communicable diseases had been done in a timely manner. (See attached report). Medical Waste Collection Day, Wednesday, June 1, 2011 Neylon worked the medical waste collection event which took place on June 1, 2011 behind Town Hall. 20 residents dropped off used sharps and unwanted medications. Once again, the Lexington Lions Club helped out at the event. Cody informed the Board that David Neylon, R.N., Public Health Nurse passed a certification test from the national Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC) CIC. The CIC designation is used for those in hospital and community -wide infection prevention and control practitioners and is valid for 5 years. Cody advised the Board of an upcoming Hazardous Waste Collection on August 10, 2011, for small businesses. This is the first time this is being offered to small businesses during the week. This is paid for directly by the business to Clean Harbors. Cody met with Carl Valente to see if there are any updates concerning the proposed organic waste facility at 60 Hartwell Avenue but everything is status quo. John J. Flynn met with the Town Engineer, John Livsy and Robert Beaudoin for an update on the project but was told it is up to the Selectmen. Flynn then attended the regional task force meeting on July 28 Flynn said the purpose of the meeting was to seek out additional State aid for the project. Flynn also mentioned that they are awaiting revised Mass DEP regulations which needs to move forward in order to prepare the RFP to potential vendors. A facilities specific permit will be issued by Mass DEP. Flynn's concern is that all nuisance criteria such as traffic, wildlife, air quality, etc. will not require local approval. Flynn stated that at the meeting on behalf of the Board, that the issues of review and environmental reports should be part of the RFP process and funded prior to issuing an RFP or it will all be done after the fact. Cody spoke with Carl Valente
