Peter,
Attached is a comparison of 2004 - 2006 in the number of inspections. I review all plans and do all construction
and pre-opening. inspections. The numbers do not include the new Stop & Shop, Starbucks, Boston Market,
White Hen, Longhorn, Betucci', Londi's Roast Beef, or the two new permanent refreshment stands to
open at the Field House and Quanapowit Play House.

Subject: budget request
Peter,
Public Health Nurse hour/week increase request
As you had asked this week what would be needed more an inspector or increase nursing hours. This is a
difficult choice. The request for PHN hours would be 260 hours.
A few points I would like to recap:
2006 Trish worked 58 hours beyond her scheduled 32 /week. She was reimbursed or received comp time
for these hours. There we many days she investigated communicable diseases from home after 5 pm in
order to connect with the patient. She did not keep accurate track of these hours. We looked through the
2006 communicable disease records and to find 12 investigations that required after work inquiries. The
amount of time is impossible to recreate. So this is lost time.
We have contracted with Carol Fiocco to do 5 hours of PH nursing from Feb 5 - June 30 to give Trish
dedicated time to complete and revise our Public Health Nursing response plan. Emergency
Preparedness has increase the work load. This would only allow proper documentation of the work we
have been and will continue to do in this area. I requested this contractor time to decrease our sense of
drowning in learning a new discipline - emergency response and making sure the system works and would
work if Trish or I were not here.
Good luck tomorrow at the budget workshop
Thank you for your support.
