A special meeting of the Board of Health was held November 26, 1985 at 7:00 p.m. in Room G-15 of the Town Office Building. Members present were: Mr. James W. Lambie, Chairman; Donald A. Goldmann, M.D., Howard B. Asarkof, DDS, George A. Smith, Jr., Health Director; and Sanitarian, Jacqueline H. Selway. Sanitarian Introduction: Mr. Smith introduced Jacqueline H. Selway to the Board as the new department Sanitarian. After a brief introduction Jacqueline gave a brief report to the Board on her activities since starting work on November 18, 1985. The Board reviewed a permit application from Seragen, Inc. The Board agreed that while it appeared there was some reason for concern about this application and the scope of activity it did not seem appropriate for the Board to act on it at this time. The Board agreed that the request by Seragen should be provided to the newly appointed Biohazards Committee for their review and recommendations. This should be done as soon as the committee has an opportunity to meet, organize and plan on a working agenda. The Board briefly reviewed the current contract between the town and the VNA for public health nursing services. Review was also made of a document prepared by VNA Director Jane Tapia relative to the types and level of services now being provided by the VNA and those items for which are directly being billed. The Board agreed that because of some uncertainity about the welfare like nature of some of the services being attended to by VNA that a new policy or program direction should be undertaken. It is possible that we may have to eliminate the health promotion type visits or possibly expand the scope of our program so that the entire Lexington population has access to these types of services. 1 1 1 1 1 497 The Board agreed that a survey of Lexington physicians should be undertaken to see what levels or types of services that might be inclined to use or what types and kinds of services that they might recommend that their patients partici- pate in should they be made available. Dr. Asarkof indicated that he would discuss this idea with several physicians in town and report back to the Board at its next meeting. The Board then adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The following permits were signed by the Board: Motel/Hotels Catch Penny Inn 440 Bedford St. Battle Green Inn 1720 Mass.
