Town of Lexington
Human Services Committee
Minutes April 28, 1986
The meeting was called to order at 6 45p.m. All members
were present or joined the meeting in progress
1 . HUMAN SERVICES COORDINATOR
The first order of business was the review of progress on
hiring a Human Services Coordinator. 56 resumes were
received in response to advertisements and 4 candidates from
the last search were included. Judy and Stan divided the
resumes into groups as follows
Definitely Interview 10
Maybe Interview 13
Rejections 37
4 Rapid movement on this is important because of contracts to
be signed after town meeting and the pressure of continuing
veteran' s affairs. Some help from the Town Manager ' s staff
is available during the interim.
2. BUDGET
Committee members who worked with agencies should call and
( unofficially advise the agencies that the human services
budget was approved by town meeting.
3 . PUBLIC HEARING
The Human Services Public Hearing was extensively reviewed
Since the room was not available until June 19 we decided on
that date and selected 3 00 to 8 OOp m.
The Planning Subcommittee then reviewed the list of invited
groups and several additions were made This needs to go to
the Town Manager' s staff by May 12th so written invitations
can be issued
The invitation will specify a time for each group of
agencies (i e , 4 OOp m for housing, etc ) but if any group
needs another time they can have it We will not only have
the Minuteman print the hearing notice but also the schedule
so non-affiliated citizens can attend the section of their
interest
The basic format will be a statement and questions rather
than a discussion on merits. The letter will specify we' d
like a one page statement and this can substitute for actual
attendance
4 The meeting adjourned at 8 05p m. and the next is set for
May 19 at 7 30p.m.
