This should have said "larvaciding" because there is no backpacking being done. On page 2 of June 6, 1984 meeting notes Dr. Roemer said on the Sanitarian's Report that the clerk did not go into depth about the state's requirement of a lifeguard being at least 17 years of age to work at the public semi-public pools.

Some major problems were encountered at Minute Man Village and the Battle Green Pool. Arty`s Restaurant was informed of another complaint we had received regarding their "no smoking" signs on some tables and a sign stating "no smoking" section. The tables were sufficient but the arrangement could have been better. Mr. Gianoukas said he doesn't have too much call for non-smoking sections, therefore, his other customers have to wait.
