MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH January 26, 2011 Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Lisa Smith January 26, 2011 6 1) Appoint an ad hoc committee to review the applications, complete the score sheets, and report to the Board as information. 2) Delegate the task to one or both standing committees. The environmental committee may need additional members to perform this task effectively. 3) Schedule a special meeting of the whole Board to review all applications. It would be unlikely that this could be accomplished at the regular February meeting since that will be our budget presentation. The agencies that we will be reviewing applications for are Duke Homecare & Hospice, Piedmont Health Services, Planned Parenthood, Rape Crisis Center, and Ears, Nose and Paws. [Note: Subsequent to the Board meeting, Ears, Nose and Paws did not submit an application but Alliance for Aids Services did.] The board agreed to appoint ad hoc groups consisting of three or four Board members to review the applications and complete the score sheets. Individual members from the ad hoc group will send their score sheets to Lisa Smith who will compile a composite score for each application along with comments for Board discussion at the February 23, 2011 meeting. Board members were asked to consider whether any members had a conflict of interest with any of the agencies assigned. There were no declarations of conflict. Board members volunteered for each of the applicant agencies (Matt Kelm was assigned since he was absent). F. Central Administrative Services Reorganization Rosemary Summers reported that staff has been working on this reorganization since late summer/early fall. This reorganization of the Central Administrative Services newly renamed “Finance and Administrative Operations” will strengthen our capability to do good business planning for all aspects of the department. New organizational charts were distributed that reflect the new titles of some positions and the new reporting relationships. This was for information and required no action. G. Informational Items Informational items are provided to the Board to cover topics that Board members should be aware of or for general interest. Items are not discussed during the meeting unless Board members ask for discussion. No informational items presented were selected for discussion or questions at this meeting.
