Members present were: Mr. James W. Lambie, Chairman; Linda Roemer, PH.D., Donald A. Goldman, M.D., Mr. George A. Smith Jr., Health Director and Mrs. Deborah J. Halko, Sanitarian. Minutes of the meeting of May 18, 1984 were accepted except for an ommission in the meeting notes. Omission --Jayne Tapia's second reason for coming before the Board was to discuss with them and get their approval to do a survey of the elderly that live in the senior citizen's villages. Mrs. Tapia of the Visiting Nurse & Community Health told the Board that the Lexington Housing Authority is concerned about the frail elderly. She said the Visiting Nurses could do an assessment of the people living in the villages to see what their needs would be and to assess who needs them more than others. The Board feels that the Human Services Department of the town should also be contacted about this. Dr. Roemer said this should be discussed with Bea Phear, Human Services Coordinator and Dr. Roemer feels this should take in the elderly living alone in their homes and not just those living in the villages. The Board said to go ahead with the survey and just see how many elderly persons have need for more services. (end of omission) CATALDO Mrs. Cataldo of 61 Bow Street and her son came before the Board at LANDFILL 7:30 p.m. The Cataldo's had been given a permit about 10 years ago (renewable each year) to allow the Town of Arlington to dump on the Cataldo property, so that the land may be reclaimed for agriculture. Mr. Cataldo has recently passed away but the dumping has continued without a renewed permit. Mrs. Cataldo's son explained that the Town of Arlington would be wrapping up their contract "to dump" on the thirtieth of June of this year and there would be no more dumping, He said people have been coming in without their knowledge and dumping. The Board suggested now he should put up "no dumping" signs and that all roadways leading to the landfill area be closed or blocked to discourage would- be dumpers from entering.
