The Public Hearing for the alleged Dangerous Dog at 15 Dana Road was postponed to the next Board of Health meeting at the owner's request. The Site Plan for the Mobil Oil Corp at 1330 was approved 2:0:0 with the notation that a full plan review in accordance with the State Sanitary Code must still be completed. The annual fee for a Tanning Salon was set at $50.00. A discussion was held concerning the fees for the temporary food establishments being held in conjunction with the 350th celebra- tion. It was voted 2:0:0 that vendors at the parade would be required to pay the $15 fee, however, vendors at the Food Court would have their fee waived (but must still obtain a permit). Cogan distributed a letter from Eastern Middlesex Human Services concerning their potential merger with Riverside. It was decided that our contract with EMHS for outpatient mental health visits would continue until such time that the organization made a definitive decision. Cogan noted that after ten years of service, Nancy Carlsen would be resigning as Adolescent Health Nurse as her new position with Reading Response precluded her continuing in both positions. Cogan gave an update on the Tobacco Control Program, including the upcoming compliance checks. Strategies were discussed con- cerning future regulations about vending machines, restaurant seating, public buildings, public places, and workplaces. It was resolved that the Board would work to have a warrant placed on the fall Town Meeting concerning all or some of these issues. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 pm Respectfully submitted, Ruth L. Cogan, MPH Director
