MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH November 30, 2011 Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Lisa Smith November 30, 2011 3 The Board of Commissioners spent the last year studying the roles of various advisory boards and commissions and has made procedure recommendations that will ensure that the Commissioners have better communication with advisory boards and commissions. This will provide commissioners with a more comprehensive picture of community input regarding county operations. Commissioners have asked for completion of the attached form from each Board or Commission to be available for their annual planning retreat generally scheduled at the beginning of the calendar year. As this form reflects, this is not reflective of the health department in all of its responsibilities, but does focus on Board of Health specific responsibilities. The Board should review this document and recommend any changes to be made before submission to the Clerk for the Commissioners. Board members made several recommendations including to add the Identification of capital improvement, HIS technology, cost study, BOH annual educational session, revision of tobacco rule policy. D.
