MINUTES February 17 , 1994 3 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> Mr. McQuaid questioned Mr. Chamberlain as to which <br /> agency or organization he receives the most referrals from. <br /> Mr. Chamberlain responded, "I am unsure as to the origin <br /> of the referrals. " "We collect that information but we col- <br /> lect it in an aggregate way so we don't have it listed by the <br /> referral sources from each community. " <br /> Mr. Greelish recommended this Board meet with the indi- <br /> viduals who have that information to ensure the townspeople <br /> are being responded to and that the town spends what monies <br /> it has the wisest. <br /> Mr. Chamberlain explained, "We do have a centralized in- <br /> take process for the majority of our services.

" "We are proposing an assessment of each <br /> town. " "One of the interests of our agency, as well as, <br /> other human services agencies is how might we put together a <br /> non-merger network for services so that they might get re- <br /> ferred into the system rather than to each individual and <br /> then from some centralized intake process spill out to the <br /> appropriate location/agency. " <br /> Mr. Greelish commented, "The V.N.A. has graciously of- <br /> fered us the option of taking all inquiries and directing <br /> them in the appropriate place. " <br /> Mr. Greelish motioned to recommend the Cape Cod Human <br /> Service funding request for fiscal year 1994 to the Finance <br /> Committee, Mr. Ball seconded, all agreed. <br /> 3 . ) Copy of letter from New Seabury to Planning Board re: <br /> Flat Pond - Mr. McQuaid relayed, "In my opinion, the letter <br /> indicates they want Flat Pond to be in direct competition <br /> with Seaside Village. " "I would recommend the Board forward <br /> a letter to the Planning Board restating our conditional <br />
