MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />October 24, 2012 <br />Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Lisa Smith October 24, 2012 <br /> Page 3 <br />Board member Matthew Kelm, who works in Durham, said he has seen the effects of Durham’s <br />Smoke Free Public Places Rule after several of his staff quit smoking following the ban. He has <br />seen the benefits in his workplace from the smoking ban. <br /> <br />If the Board of Health votes in favor of the Rule, the next step would be for the Rule to be <br />discussed by the Board of County Commissioners at its November 20, 2012 meeting. There will <br />be an additional public hearing at that time prior to the Board of County Commissioners deciding <br />to vote on whether to approve the Rule. <br /> <br />If the Board of County Commissioners supports the Rule, it will go into effect with an <br />educational period beginning on January 1, 2013. Full enforcement of the Rule would go into <br />effect beginning on July 1, 2013. <br /> <br />Motion to accept the Rule to adopt the Smoke Free Public Places as written was made by <br />Susan Elmore, seconded by Carol Haggerty. The motion passed 10 to 1 in favor with <br />Michael Wood voting against. <br /> <br />VI. Reports and Discussion with Possible Action <br /> <br />A. Health Director Annual Review <br /> <br />The Health Director’s Annual Review is due to the County by November 30. The proposal from <br />the Chair is to complete a 360 degree feedback-style evaluation. This will include soliciting <br />feedback from: 1) All Direct Reports (Tom Konsler, Pam McCall, Carla Julian, Michael Day, <br />Donna King, Stacy Shelp and Christy Bradsher); 2) 10 randomly selected Health Department <br />Employees (~10%); 3) County Management (County Manager, Assistant County Manager); 4) <br />Board of Health members and 5) Co-Workers (HR Director, DSS Director, Finance Director, <br />Emergency Management Director, Dale Pratt-Wilson - Executive Director of Chapel <br />Hill/Carrboro Drug and Alcohol Free Partnership, and Brian Toomey – CEO Piedmont Health <br />Services.) <br /> <br />A feedback tool will be developed and emailed to the list above. County Management will also <br />be given the opportunity to discuss thoughts/concerns in person. <br /> <br />The Chair will review the results with the full Board during the November Board of Health <br />meeting in a closed session. The Board will then vote on the rating for the Health Director <br />(needs improvement, proficient, exceptional). The Chair will share the results with the Health <br />Director after the meeting. The minutes will reflect the rating and the completed forms will be <br />sent to HR no later than 11-30-12. <br /> <br />B. Informational Items <br /> <br />a.
