510 Mrs. Tapier said she would like to increase the Well Elderly Clinics to include a drop-in service to the churches, etc. that have recreation programs for the elderly. Mr. Totman and the Board said she better be very sure that these people would accept a service of this type. Mrs. Tapier also said they hoped to have some educational programs for the clinics and possibly this would increase the attendance to the clinics. She thought if once a month they had an educational program it would be beneficial, they had considered nutrition and things of this nature. After further discussion of the various services by the nurses for the Health Department it was agreed that the reg- ular work would be estimated at $5004. dollars, 4 public clinics at $360. dollars, the Well Elderly Clinics estimated at $1248. minus this year of $250. dollars and additional amount of $576. dollars for future programs making a total of $6938. requested for the year 1974-75. The Board approved the adjusted amount and instructed Mr. Totman to get a new explanation letter to the Board of Health as soon as possible so the adjustments can be made in the Health Department Budget. BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MARCH 18, 1974 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Monday, March 18, 1974 at 7:00 P.M. in Room G-15 of the Town Office Building. Members present were: Dr. William L. Cosgrove, Chairman; Mr. James Lambie and Dr. Charles Ellicott. The minutes of the January 28, 1974 meeting were approved as read. The letter from James E. Chase, Town Engineer, regarding the North Lexington Pumping Station was discussed by the Board. Mr Lambie said he wanted a letter which would indicate the NORTH LEX. actual flow per day instead of averaging the flow. This letter PUMPING does not state as a fact that the pumping station will handle STATION the increase flow load that will be created by the development of the land in the North Lexington area. Dr. Cosgrove said he didn't think we would get any more information than what was stated in this letter. Mr. Lambie said he felt there was a good deal of infil- tration from cellar drains being opened into the public sewer lines. He said he felt a metering system would determine this added flow and therefore prevent the excessive flows during the wet season. It was decided that when the new developments came before the Board of Appeals the Board of Health could indicate their feelings about the function of the pumping station at that time. 1 1 1
