MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />June 28, 2001 <br />Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by V. Anne Miles 6 June 28, 2001 <br />approved; the dental coordinator, the dental office assistant, the immunization tracking <br />nurse, and the intensive home visiting half-time office assistant. The intensive home <br />visiting positions were approved as permanent posit ions from time limited positions. That <br />money is still at risk in the state legislature. The pay plan was approved for a 2.5% COLA <br />increase for employees and a 2.5% in-step merit increase at a proficient level. The County <br />contribution to the 401k plan went from $15 to $20 per pay period. The manager cut the <br />operating budget in all departments to be able to preserve the 2.5% COLA increase. Final <br />figures will be available by the second week of July. <br /> <br />F. Ad Hoc Committee for Marketing Plan Development <br /> <br />We have needed to take an overall look at marketing the Health Department for a number <br />of years. It is not just how to get people in the doors, it is an educational component of <br />the many things that we do. Donna King will chair this committee and include one staff <br />member from each division within the department, and one board member, and one county <br />Public Information Office staff member. The committee will look at all aspects of our <br />communication with residents and organizations. Healthy Carolinians has some ideas for <br />some things that they would like to see promoted. We need to be a part of that overall <br />message as well. <br /> <br />Martha Stucker questioned the issues of customer satisfaction in terms of marketing. This <br />is an area that will be looked at either at a later time or by a subcommittee. <br /> <br />Mel Hurston volunteered to fill the board position on the Ad Hoc Committee for Marketing <br />Plan Development. <br /> <br />V.
