Members present were: Mr. James W. Lambie, Chairman; Dr. Michael S. Erdos, Dr. Linda Roemer and George A. Smith, Director of Public Health. Minutes of the last meeting were approved as read. Mr. Frank P. Scolaro,Jr. of 5 Bruce Road was at the meeting because he had made application to keep 12 racing pigions on his property. There has been only one objection from a neighbor, all other abuttors have no objections. The Board told Mr. Scclaro their only concern would be to keep the area clean PIGEON and free from odor. PERMIT Mr. Scolaro said he has had the pigions for six months but had not been aware that he needed a permit from the Board of Health. The Board had no objections to this permit. Mr. Smith, the Director told Mr. Scolaro that he would be over to check out the area where the pigions were kept. Mr. Scolaro thanked the Board and retired. Mr. Smith introduced the new temporary dog officer, Patricia Martin -Paul to the Board. Mr. Smith told the Board Patricia had started last week as Dog Officer and he will be spending some time with her relating to other matters such as quarantining dogs that have bitten people and also training her in the role as Animal Inspector. TEMPORARY DOG OFFICE] Mr. Smith reported to the Board that the Building Commissioner has let the BATTLE GREEN owners of the Battle Green Inn open about 40 rooms in the older end of the INN motel. He and Debora Chiklis, Health Intern, went through all the rooms and found no problems. The rooms in the pool area are not allowed to be open at this time because there is not a second exit available. Mr. Smith told the Board that he had been contacted by the School Department PEDICULOSIS to attend their principals meeting on June 2, 1982 because they are going to IN SCHOOLS discuss the pediculosis control program for the fall season. We have received many calls from parents of the school children, who sometimes did not feel enough had been done in the schools to control this problem so they have given suggestions and ideas to the schools to help control pediculosis. Mr. Smith discussed with the Board the price of the flu vaccine for the coming fall season. The salesman came in the other day notifying us that it will be $32.50 for a vial of ten doses. For 700 doses it would cost $2,303.00. The State will not be supplying any vaccine this year at all. Mr. Smith said we could buy 11 of our supply out of our current budget and the other half out of the next fiscal year's budget. The Board discussed and was in agreement that a $2.00 fee would not be too much of a burden on those wanting the vaccine and it would give the Board a chance to see if people stayed away because of a small charge.
