6. OLD BUSINESS
a. Fluoridation: After many months of discussion, review of
reports pro and con fluoridation, the Board members again discussed
fluoridation and were prepared to make a motion.
MOTION: Move that the Board of Health order the fluoridation
of the public water supply of the town of Mansfield.
Further, recognizing the financial condition of the
Commonwealth, and that there already are nine other
towns waiting for state aid for fluoridation, the
Board requests that the Board of Selectmen, the
Finance Committee and the Capital Improvements
Committee include the capital and operating costs
to implement this order in the FY93 budget.
Rosenberg /Austin. 3 -21. VanSplinter and Fontanini
opposed. VOTED.
Chairman VanSplinter feels that fluoridating a town's public water
supply only affects a small group that will benefit from fluoridation,
and member Rosenberg feels the opposite, namely, that it affects every
group in Town.

18th and back on schedule for August, i.e., the 1st and 15th. An
