SCHEDULE <br /> Saturday, February 8, 1975 <br /> 8:30 A.M. - Board of Selectmen to discuss Personnel Requests <br /> 10:30 A.M. - Recreation <br /> II . SCHOOL BUDGET <br /> a. Minuteman Vocational Budget is 3 million. Mr. White <br /> reported that he felt this figure had been taken out of the <br /> air and that he had seen no budget figures as of this date. <br /> This has to be taken down to 22 million if they want our <br /> support, Mr. White stated. We will fight it on Town Meeting <br /> Floor and send it back for review unless reduced. Chairman <br /> Furash concurred with this statement. <br /> b. Mr. White will report back as soon as he has had a meeting <br /> with the School Committee regarding their budget. <br /> III. HEALTH DEPARTMENT <br /> Dr. Cosgrove met at his request and made the following points: <br /> a. Flu clinic doubled this year. <br /> b. 75% increase in materials. <br /> c. Lab equipment needed. As it stands not health officer does <br /> his own work and equipment is not sufficient. Would like to <br /> do milk analysis here instead of transporting to Quincy. This <br /> is not satisfactory in hot weather. There is a chance of error <br /> here. <br /> d. Rabies Clinic - Vaccine and needles are going to be increased. <br /> e. Chairman Furash stated he felt it was time to raise cost of <br /> permits. <br /> f. Visiting Nurse Assn. - Teamed up with Arlington. Cost of home <br /> visits per year have been on the increase. i.e. , premature babies, <br /> pre-schoolers who needed extra care. LVNA wants to have six <br /> 3-hour clinics to be held at Carey Hall. Dr. Cosgrove does not <br /> approve of this and would rather propose 3 hours at Greeley and <br /> 3 hours at Vynebrook. <br /> g. Chairman Furash questioned seriously the continuance of our <br /> relationship in the LVNA. <br /> h. It was suggested that the Board of Health have their own nurse. <br /> Chairman Furash asked that Dr. Cosgrove compile some facts and <br /> figures as to how much this would cost and report back to the <br /> Committee. <br />
