JULY 8, 1986
The monthly meeting of the Board of Health was held Tuesday,
July 8, 1986 in Room G-15 of the Town Office Building. Members pres-
ent were: Dr. Asarkof, Chairman; Mr. James W. Lambie, Dr. Donald A.
Goldmann, George A. Smith, Jr., Director of Public Health and
Jacqueline Selway, Sanitarian for the Board of Health.
Minutes of the June 10, 1986 meeting were accepted as read.
Jacqueline Selway gave her Sanitarian's report to the Board. She
SANITARIAN'S said she had conducted routine inspections of hotels, markets, restau-
REPORT rants, recreational summer camps for children and has also inspected
some semi-public pools.
Jacqy said that Mr. Smith had her take samples of the pool water
and he taught her how to do the lab work and testing to check out the
samples.
She reported that she and the Health Director went up to the carni-
val and checked out all the food concessions. Conditions were found to
be satisfactory with a need for a few improvements.
Jacqy told the Board that she is working on organizing the sub -
filing system in the office.
There had been three restaurants that she had recently found to be
poorly maintained and on re -inspection she found that two of them had
significantly improved.
The Board discussed the restaurants that needed improvement (Peking
Gardens, Bellino's and LeBellecour).
The Director said we will just have to keep "grinding" on the Peking
Gardens until improvements are made. This was the one restaurant that
the Sanitarian had not seen any improvement.
Mr. Smith brought up the case of the pupil of the LABB Program that
HEALTH has Hepatitis B. Mr. Smith said it doesn't seem to be a problem but the
DIRECTOR"S lifeguards and other workers are upset about it, particularly if they had
REPORT to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Dr. Goldmann said they could buy a resuscitator. It is against the
law to restrict this person in any way.
Dr. Goldmann said there would be no way they could restrict this per-
son from the pool unless he/she is uncontrolable. If this should occur
that could be a problem if they scratch or bit and draws blood. Dr. Gold-
mann said that George could advise them that blood is the danger here but
no way keep him/her out of the pool.
Mr. Smith said that he will look into the disposition of this person.
