Wood, MS <br />To: Orange County Board of Commission rs <br />From: Rosemary Summers <br />Secretary to the Board of Health <br />Re: Recommendation for Appointment to Vacant Veterinarian Position <br />Date: August 26, 2090 <br />At its meeting on August 25, 2010 the Board considered the single <br />current applicant for the veterinarian vacancy on the Board of Health. <br />The Board is recommending that Board of Commissioners consider <br />appointing Dr. Susan Elmore to the Board of Health in this vacant <br />position. The veterinarian position is a legislatively mandated position. <br />Dr. Elmore would also serve as the liaison to the Animal Services <br />Advisory Board to assist both boards in the coordination of zoonotic <br />disease issues as they relate to the health of the public. This has been <br />very helpful in the past. An example was the development of <br />recommendations to the school districts on policy development <br />regarding contact with animals in school settings. <br />!t is our understanding that Dr. Elmore is currently searing on the Animal <br />Services Advisory Board and that she understands the linkage between <br />service on bath Boards. <br />Thank you far your consideration. <br />Cc: Bob Moratto, Animal Services Direc#or <br />~ S:1Managers Working FilesIBOHVIPPOINTMENTSW8-26-10 Appt ltr Vet Elmore.doc <br />
