MINUTES ** Merry Sue made a motion to accept the minutes of June 7 , 1994 . Joe seconded the motion . All members were in favor. DISCUSSION RE: HEALTH SERVICES SPACE Selectmen Nancy Caffyn was present to discuss the possibility of health clinic space being provided for in the high school . This idea has the support of the Board of Health and Dr . DeMoura. The goal is to improve the services provided to the entire community , including school age children . She explained the Committee she represents quickly pulled some thoughts together on this subject to present to the Building Committee ( including a handout) . Nancy suggested this space could be tied into the nurse station or the leisure service area , with a separate entrance and exit. The Board of Selectmen support the concept. She hopes it is not too late for this to be considered . Peter asked if this clinic would compete with other medical services in town? Nancy said it would not. It is really a human services clinic, not medical clinic, although the VNA would provide immunization . Peter suggested , since the leisure service space will not be used full time , maybe it could use that space . Nancy said Dr . DeMoura thought the nurses station could be expanded , because there is a waiting room there already. Gus Fredricks does not have problem with it being tied into Leisure Service office space . Ray asked what kind and how much space they will need? Nancy suggested 500 sq ft - 2 offices and a waiting room, and/or next to a conference room that could be used . Peter said he also spoke with Dr. DeMoura. He was talking about using current space in the program, not adding space. We should look for flexibility from spaces that are part of the program. Ray asked when it will operate? Nancy said during the day and after school hours , on weekends and all year long . She apologizes for presenting this at this late date but the idea just came up . She is following up with the Department of Heath to see if there is some funding available for this space. The entrance should be semi-private , could be shared with other functions. Paul suggested leaving it with the architectural team, see what they can do. If it can ' t be worked out, it will have to come from free classroom 1
