1 1 425 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MAY 15, 1984 The monthly meeting of the Board of Health was held Monday, May 14, 1984 at 7:15 p.m. in Room G-1 (Recreation Office) of the Town Office Building. Members present were: Mr. James W. Lambie, Chairman; Dr. Linda Roemer, Dr. Donald Goldmann, George A. Smith, Jr., Health Director and Mrs. Deborah Halko, SMnitarian. Minutes of the March 28 and April 18th meetings were passed as read. Dr. Roemer told the Board she had received a call this evening from Betty Clark of the League of Women Voters. She wants to propose at town meeting this evening that the "Hazardous Waste Day" monies be put into the operating budget of the Board of Health. If the Board has any objections someone can go over and tell Betty Clark befor 8 o'clock, Dr. Roemer said. No one on the Board objected to Betty Clark's doing this. Deborah Halko reported to the Board that she has completed the inspections of the social clubs. She has started to inspect the Lexington school cafeterias. SANITARIAN'S REPORT Debbie is also preparing articles for the June newsletter for the food establishments - tips for foods served outdoors - tips for preparing mixed foods (potato salad, macaroni salad) keeping perishables below 45°F. Debbie is also preparing a pamphlet on cockroaches that will soon be going to the printers. Debbie will be starting the swimming pools soon. Mr. Smith brought up the subject of lifeguards. He said the State LIFEGUARD Regulations were printed this year stating that Red Cross requested life- AGE REQUIRE -- guards had to be at least 17 years old. When Mr. Smith looked into this MENT the state said this was an error having printed it as 17 years, but they were not going to reprint it. Mr. Smith said Joan Halverson, Recreation Director, is asking the Board for a variance as she has hired two - sixteen year old lifeguards and one 17 year old. The Board will give this variance for one year only and suggested that Ms. Halverson use the 16 year olds at the "Res" bathing beach, if possible. The Board said next year she should hire 17 year old personnel. This variance does not cover the semi-public pools around town because they only have one lifeguard on duty at one time. Dr. Goldmann wanted to know if day care centers need a food inspection? They do, said the director, if they serve lunches. Most day care centers provide juice and crackers only. If they provide lunches, refrigerators need to be provided.
