MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />February 22, 2001 <br />Board of Health Minutes <br />Transcription completed by V. Anne Miles 5 February 22, 2001 <br />Intensive Home Visiting positions are time-limited positions due to funding <br />sources and we are asking the Board of Commissioners to make these <br />permanent positions. The Preschool Dental Screening Project will have a <br />change when it goes to Smart Start, in that we are asking for a Dental <br />Program Coordinator who will be full time and will oversee the <br />coordination in the preschools as well as the follow up in education, <br />making this a much more complete project. <br /> <br />The Healthy Carolinians Fund is partially university funded, state funded, <br />and 50% county funded. <br /> <br />Total budget request figure represents a 12.83% increase over the previous <br />year. <br /> <br />Motion to accept and forward the 2001-2002 Budget Request to the Board of <br />County Commissioners was made by Mel Hurston, seconded by Martha Stucker <br />and carried without dissent. <br /> <br />Motion to recommend the new fee increases reflected on the fee schedule was <br />made by Alan Rimer, seconded by Mel Hurston, and carried without dissent. <br /> <br /> B. Comments on Shaping Orange County's Future <br /> <br />Committee reports on how the document "Shaping Orange County's <br />Future" as well as the "Master Aging Plan" and to some extent "Healthy <br />Carolinians of Orange County" meshes with the long-term plan of the <br />health department. The staff was commended for the excellent job in <br />research and report preparation. <br /> <br />Motion to forward the document to the Board of County Commissioners as <br />amended was made by Alan Rimer, seconded by Martha Stucker and carried <br />without dissent. <br /> <br /> C. Health Department Long Range Plan <br /> <br />Jonathan Klein recommended the addition of an executive summary or <br />abstract to the document and a focus on those things that are going to <br />be requested in the budget. <br /> <br />Board of Health members were urged to be involved in the areas of their <br />individual expertise. <br /> <br />Motion to approve the Long-Range Plan as amended was made by Mel Hurston, <br />seconded by Janet Southerland and carried without dissent. <br /> <br />V.
