MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />November 20, 2003 <br />Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Anne Miles Cassell 2 November 20, 2003 <br />consultation to health department staff and to the variety of dental attendings, <br />residents, and students that provide actual clinical services to the program. The <br />Dental Director develops dental policies and consults with the Health Director as <br />requested. During this year the department did not think it would need this contract <br />since the commissioners authorized a new dentist position. Due to the lack of <br />applications for the Dentist position, it is necessary to execute the contract with the <br />UNC School of Dentistry for the dental director services until a dentist has been <br />employed. <br /> <br />Motion to approve the minutes of October 23, 2003 and to approve the renewal of the <br />contract with the UNC School of Dentistry for Dental Director Services for FY 2004 and <br />forward to the Commissioners for approval was made by Tim Carey, seconded by Lee <br />Werley, and carried without dissent. <br /> <br />Decision: <br /> <br />A. Board Officer Elections <br /> <br />The election of officers occurs during November to allow for a smooth transition of <br />leadership for the next calendar year. The procedure adopted is as follows: <br /> <br />“5. Officers <br />The Health Director shall serve as Secretary to the Board. The Chairperson and <br />Vice Chairperson shall be elected annually by the Board and shall serve for one <br />calendar year. (NC Statute 130A-35(e)) <br /> <br />The Chairperson and Vice Chairperson shall be elected annually at the last <br />regular meeting of the calendar year. A proposed slate of officers for Chair and <br />Vice Chair will be developed and presented at the regular meeting prior to the <br />election.

In the event of a tie vote, the board <br />shall continue balloting until the tie is broken. The newly elected officers shall be <br />installed in January and serve for one calendar year.” <br /> <br />The Executive Committee proposed Alice White for Chair, and Alan Rimer for Vice Chair <br />and contacted the slate of proposed officers to secure their agreement.
