MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />June 27, 2002 <br />Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by V. Anne Miles 2 June 27, 2002 <br />area on June 3rd to discuss the changes to the draft of the No Fault Well Repair Fund <br />(NFWRF) Policy as it was on the agenda for the Board of Commissioners on June 4th. <br />Those residents made an additional request regarding the policy and expressed <br />concern with other issues involving the quarry operation. The citizens requested the <br />policy be extended back to June 4, 1999. The current date for those claims only goes <br />back to October 10, 2001 or the date when the Special Use Permit was granted to <br />American Stone Company. <br /> <br />The Board of Commissioners approved the No Fault Well Repair Fund Policy as it was <br />presented at its meeting on the 4th. They did not take action on the additional requests <br />by the quarry area residents, but instead referred the matter back to the Board of <br />Health for review. Empowerment, Inc., who is coordinating the community efforts, <br />withdrew the request to change the effective date and keep it as it was approved in the <br />policy. <br /> <br />Empowerment also made a request to the Health Director regarding the $15,000 per <br />year OWASA fund that is separate and apart from the NFWRF monies. They asked that <br />the money be used to fund a community organizer and also that the fund be <br />administered by the Health Department. It is the Health Director’s view that this <br />proposal would put the department in an untenable position and is an inappropriate <br />use of this fund. The staff recommendation to the Board of Health is a negative <br />recommendation on this proposal. <br /> <br />B. Reappointment of Board Members <br /> <br />Three Board of Health members have terms that expire on June 30, 2002. They are <br />Kate Wilder (Veterinarian representative), Martha Stucker (nurse representative), and <br />Sharon Van Horn (at -large representative). All three are eligible for a second term of <br />service: July 1, 2002 – June 30, 2005. <br /> <br />This item is on the Commissioner’s agenda for tonight’s meeting. <br /> <br />C. Summer Meeting Schedule <br /> <br />For the past three years the Board has chosen not to meet in July. There is a meeting <br />scheduled for July 25. There are a number of contracts that have not been submitted <br />to the Board or to the Commissioners pending the state and county budget approval <br />process. The Board of Commissioners only meet once in August, therefore, to have <br />contracts considered at the August meeting of the Commissioners, the Board of Health <br />would need to meet in July. <br /> <br />The Board agreed to hold the July meeting and proposed to not meet in August. This <br />will be decided at the July meeting. <br /> <br />D. Updates on Various Topics <br /> <br />• L & W Mobile Home Park <br /> <br />Progress toward installation of a lift station is being made.
