Reports and Discussion with Possible Action <br /> <br />A. Information Technology Future Developments <br />Todd Jones, Chief Information Officer, Orange County <br /> <br />As the department looks toward completing its strategic plan for the next five years, information <br />on trends and needs in the technology area should be considered. <br /> <br />Todd Jones, the Chief Information Officer for Orange County provided information to the Board <br />on overall county plans in the technology areas so that the Board could be more informed when <br />reviewing elements in the strategic plan. <br /> <br />B. Strategic Planning <br /> <br />The Health Department has been working on elements of a strategic plan to cover the period <br />2005 – 2010 and is at a point where the Board should provide input on the direction and <br />elements in the plan. <br /> <br />The Board discussed possible dates, times, and locations for a structured meeting to review an <br />outline of the entire plan and specific elements that will be ready. Board members agreed upon <br />June 18 as the date and a meeting room at UNC Hospitals as the location to enable Dr. Carey to <br />attend since he will be on-call on that date. <br /> <br />The June Board meeting will not be held unless there is urgent business. A final decision will be <br />made by the Executive Committee. <br /> <br />C, Nominating Committee <br /> <br />Three Board members have terms that expire on June 30, 2005. They are Kate Wilder, <br />Veterinarian; Chris Harlan, nurse; Sharon Van Horn, at-large. All three individuals are eligible for <br />another full term of service in addition to the time they have already served. Chris Harlan served <br />a partial term of less than two years, so this would be her first full three-year term. Dr. Wilder <br />and Dr. Van Horn would be serving their final three-year terms. Their new appointment dates <br />would be July 1, 2005 – June 30, 2008. <br /> <br />Chris Harlan and Dr. Van Horn have indicated their willingness to serve another term. Kate <br />Wilder, veterinarian, has declined reappointment to a second term due to a heavy schedule in <br />her practice. <br /> <br />The pharmacist position is currently vacant and the nominating committee has been considering <br />current applicants for that slot. They have spoken with the applicants and recommend James <br />Stefanadis be considered by the Commissioners for the position. Mr. Stefanadis is an actively <br />practicing pharmacist with a large customer base.
