BOH Regionalization Planning Grant <br /> Glen Harrington rported that George Heufelder, Director of the Barnstable county <br /> Department of Healthy & Environment, would like to subm t a bid to receive a grant for <br /> regionalization planning. The planning grant is just the first step; there will be an <br /> implementation grant to follow and only those towns that participate in the planning can <br /> participate in the implementation. <br /> Glen Harrington stated that many of the Cape Board&are'quite skeptical about the idea, and <br /> stated further that there is going to be a problem with the Charters, because some towns <br /> have Charters, and some-towns have the onginaI statute under which the 130 H is organized. <br /> Glen stated that when it cones to regionalization, it is the Western Massachusetts terns <br /> that actually need the shared help. Glen felt that there should be a study done with the way <br /> Barnstable County does it with the Cape & Islands and Boards of Health because there are <br /> 21 towns and 21 Boards of Health that are being supported by Barnstable County. Glen <br /> stated his feeling that this grant is for smaller towns in mid-and westem MA to create what <br /> we have already: a non-regulatory support structure that has the dedicated mission, <br /> expertise and equipment to augment the local Boards of Health. Glen stated his belief that <br /> the state would spend its money more wisely by studying the Barnstable county model and <br /> its relationship with the,Boards of Health of the Cape & Islands. <br /> Burton Kaplan made a'motion that the Board decline to participate in the Barnstable County <br /> Health & Environment regionalization grant. Calliope Egloff seconded the motion. The <br /> motion was unanimously approved. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> 1.
