I'VE <br />TOWN of LEXINGTON`$ wr <br />Human Service Committee Meew _g AM <br />, -0ys N CtdE K <br />November 15, 2011 LEXINGTON MA <br />The meeting was called to order by the Chair, Lea Gardner Elkin. The following were in <br />attendance: Lea, Barbara Ciampa, Gail Fields, Stephanie Lawrence, Norman Cohen, <br />Selectman, staff members, Emily Lavine and Charlotte Rodgers. Absent: Mimi Ballard <br />Report from the Human Services Department <br />Charlotte reported that she is continuing to interview for the Transportation Co- coordinator <br />28 hour position which requires management level skills. Three candidates are currently in the <br />running. <br />Norm reported on the situation with the Veterans' Agent as presented at the special Town <br />Meeting. The law requires a full time agent in order to be in compliance. The town will explore <br />forming a district with other towns such as Bedford or Lincoln. The recently hired agent is <br />currently planning a number of activities to help residents be aware of the services. Lea asked if <br />there were any places where the committee could be of help but the town appears to be taking <br />the lead with further explorations. <br />Emily and Charlotte reported that the Human Service Department was very active as part of <br />the town response to the storm. Emily also reported that referrals are up with the Youth <br />Services and fuel assistance with calls averaging around 40 per month for Information and <br />Referrals. <br />Charlotte reported that one staff member will be returning from maternity leave but another <br />will be leaving which means that the program will again be short staffed and call for <br />adjustments. <br />The committee wondered if this may present a future goal: reassessing the model as it relates <br />to staffing, support, meeting the needs, etc. <br />UPDATE ON THE HSD /HSC Brochure <br />Stephanie and Gail completed the new brochures (LEAF) which explain both how to use and <br />how to donate to the Lexington Emergency and Assistance Fund. Brochures were parceled out <br />
