Rheta answered questions from Boaard members on the <br />Board of Health's recent grant, and on the home maintenance <br />program being offered by the Northeast Metropolitan Vocational <br />School. Unfortunately, the town of Reading was not selected <br />for inclusion in this program for this year, but Rheta <br />expressed hope that in future years, Reading might be <br />selected. <br />Old Business <br />Relocation of office: Frank stated that his sub-committee has <br />not had the opportunity to work on this, due to time <br />constraints and because the Selectmen have not worked on the <br />matter. He asked if the Board had further instructions or <br />directions for the sub-committee. <br />Job upgrading: Aloyse listed some of the Council on Aging <br />office structures in neighboring towns. Dick again expressed <br />his frustration over the Council on Aging's only having a <br />clerk in charge of the office. It was suggested that the Board <br />write again to the Personnel Board, asking that Rheta's <br />position be upgraded to Administrative Assistant. Penny <br />related the conversation she had had with Molly Zeigler of the <br />Selectmen's office, concerning changes being discussed in the <br />job classifications. Betty moved that Dick send the letter <br />discussed to both the Personnel Board and the Selectmen, this <br />was seconded and approved. Woody suggested following up the <br />letters with periodic phone calls, until we have received <br />communications back from both boards. <br />New Business <br />Annual Dinner: Rheta reports that she is pretty much all set <br />with plans for the dinner. She is still working on getting <br />entertainment. She needs to provide John Doherty with a check <br />for $325 to purchase the necessary paper goods, this request <br />was put into a motion, moved and accepted. She will contact <br />
