Services the Board to discuss the study of human services needs and programs con-
ducted in the town
The Board was informed that 350 out of 9,000 households were con-
tacted and the results of their study show that the birthrate is de-
clining, the number of school children decreasing, and the elderly
population is increasing Eighteen percent of the households ex-
pressed the need for transportation, particularly the hardship for
the elderly The team recommended that the town make an effort to
address this with the Transportation Advisory Committee, who could
work with the Council on Aging There was a need for child care
assistance; elderly service and meals on wheels; the lack of a pattern
of interrelationship with agencies; there should be a greater capacity
for planning and needs assessment, and a better vehicle for participa-
tion in state and regional planning; more citizen input; the creation
of a citizens' committee, either by-law or advisory to the Selectmen,
with the responsibility of assessing community needs, and to file an
annual report highlighting goals; the creation of a staff person to
act as coordinator and liaison
