Chair Carey said that he had heard that people with chronic conditions were <br />showing up for free health care. Mr. Newton said he thought they had seen some of this <br />on a limited basis. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked if anyone became really sick or died because of <br />lack of response. <br />Mr. Newton said he did not see this where he was. He reminded everyone that <br />he only saw a small slice of the pie and it was very different than New Orleans. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that it is imperative that a review of the multi-hazard <br />plan be done annually and that they might want to set a review date. He pointed out <br />several things that need to be addressed: responsibility of commissioners, conflict <br />ordinance, animal needs, public information officer, radiological hazards, separation of <br />aging and transportation in the Department on Aging. <br />Chair Carey said there will be a discussion with Triangle J about an update on <br />what each county is doing and what we can do to work together better. <br />Jack Ball pointed out that Section 14-31 of the County Ordinance identifies <br />some of the restrictions Commissioner Jacobs referred to. <br />Chair Carey thanked everyone and said they would look forward to seeing <br />updates of these plans. <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. <br />
