MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH October 22, 2014 S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2014 Agenda & Abstracts/ October Page 4 VII. Reports and Discussion with Possible Action A. Orange County Advisory Boards Summary The Board of Health identified action steps related to engagement in the 2014-2016 Strategic Plan. One of these action steps is to receive quarterly updates on actions of other Orange County advisory boards that relate to the BOH strategic plan priorities. Meredith Stewart provided a summary of pertinent actions or information from Orange County advisory boards from July 2014 to October 2014. Some boards being tracked do not have updates included because they do not pertain to the BOH’s priorities or they were not available at the time of the report. B. Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) Seat Request Meredith Stewart led a discussion on the OUTBoard Seat Request. In Orange County, one of the primary decision-making bodies at the county-level for the built environment is the Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard). A seat on the OUTBoard for the Board of Health would provide a formal opportunity for the Board of Health to ensure the inclusion of health considerations in roadway and transportation planning and decisions. Accordingly, seeking a Board of Health seat was included as an action step in the 2014-2016 Board of Health strategic plan. A decision was made to: • Pursue a seat on the OUTBoard through the appropriate pathway. • Board of Health Member Esther Earbin to serve on the OUTBoard. C. Health Director’s Report There were no questions from the board regarding the Health Director’s Report included in the packet. Dr. Bridger gave a brief update on the Ebola Virus. D. Media Items Media Items were in the packet which focused on Orange County’s events and our involvement in various efforts.
