Action Items on CONSENT Agenda A. Contract with UNC School of Dentistry for Dentist The Health Department with the assistance of the Personnel Department began re-recruitment for this position in January and made an offer to a dentist from Michigan who accepted and later rescinded his acceptance due to personal circumstances. Re-recruitment has yielded a candidate that would like to maintain state retirement benefit options. This contract is a way to allow that to be retained. B. Acceptance of funds for Primary Care at Whitted and SHSC The department has received notice that funds for Year 2 continuation for the Southern Human Services primary care program and Year 3 for primary care at the Witted Center were awarded in the amounts requested, $44,769 for SHSC and $43,346 for Whitted. If the Commissioners decide not to support the Primary Care program in the 07- 08 budget, the funds will be returned to the state. Motion to approve the items on the Consent Agenda was made by Anissa Vines, seconded by Jim Stefanadis, and carried without dissent. V. Reports and Discussion with Possible Action A. Minutes Approval of May 24, 2007 Meeting Motion to approve the minutes as amended was made by Tim Carey, seconded by Moses Carey, Jr., and carried without dissent. B. Board Policy Discussion on Ethics A requirement of the State contract stipulates that each Board of Health have a defined policy on ethics and each Board member must sign that they understand and abide by the policy. Board members were asked to consider what should be included in the ethics policy. Moses Carey inquired if the Board of Health has ever had an ethics policy. Rosemary Summers responded that a rough draft of an ethics policy had been worked on in the past but never completed.
