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
