MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />January 25, 2001 <br />Board of Health Minutes <br />Transcription completed by V. Anne Miles 6 January 25, 2001 <br />in the logistical arrangement for this program. <br /> <br />Health Department staff actually coordinates and implements the program, <br />including follow-up for children with identified dental needs. The agreement <br />with the Dental School allows the actual screening clinics to be conducted <br />by Dental School students, faculty, and staff. <br /> <br />Unallocated funds became available mid-year through the Partnership for <br />expansion of already funded projects. The Partnership Board has approved <br />an additional $5,000 to purchase additional supplies for the Tooth Time kits <br />that were a new component of the Preschool Screening Project this past <br />year. The Tooth Time kits are checked out and used by day care centers and <br />family-care homes to educate children in good oral health. The supplies <br />need to be replenished after each use. The Board needs to accept these <br />additional funds. <br /> <br />The cost of the agreement is $6,000 and is included in the overall grant from <br />the Orange County Partnership for Young Children to the Health Department. <br /> The original grant amount was $36,645 for FY 2000-2001 and with the <br />additional $5,000 comes to a total of $41,855. County match for the entire <br />project is calculated on an in-kind basis. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Martha Stucker, seconded by Mel Hurston, and carried without <br />dissent that the Board approve the Memorandum of Agreement and forward it to the <br />Commissioners for approval; and that the Board accept the additional $5,000 for the Dental <br />Preschool Screening Project. <br /> <br /> C Executive Committee <br /> <br /> 1.

The Year in Review: 1999-2000 <br /> <br />Rosemary Summers presented a review of statistics and activities of the <br />Health Department from the previous year as a first step in budget <br />preparation. It is anticipated that a draft budget presentation will be made <br />at the February Board meeting. Copy of slides attached to these minutes. <br /> <br /> 3. Long-Range Plan Discussion <br /> <br /> The development of a long-range plan began about a year and a half ago <br />at a Board work session. This draft is a culmination of those efforts. This plan is <br />intended not only to shape the coming year's direction, but also establishes
