MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />June 24, 1999 <br /> <br />Board of Health Minutes <br />Transcription completed by Patsy L. Bateman 4 June 24, 1999 <br />E. RELOCATION OF THE HOMELESS SHELTER <br />Rosemary Summers attended a meeting sponsored by the IFC primarily for their clergy to <br />discuss this issue. The idea of locating the shelter on the Homestead property is still just an <br />idea, but one that seems to have a lot of momentum. County concerns are numerous around <br />this issue and include service expansion needs of current departments as well as other needed <br />county services. <br /> <br />F. ROGERS ROAD COMMUNITY <br />Ron Holdway, John Sauls, and Rosemary Summers attended a community meeting and <br />listened to a host of community concerns that included water quality, air quality, and vultures. In <br />response to the meeting, the Health Department will (1) draw three sample bottles of every well <br />for which there is a testing application and get VOC, inorganic and bacteriological results; (2) <br />compile and report to residents exact value results from the tests; (3) explore whether there is a <br />problem with vultures in the area and the public health threat of vulture feces; (4) ask the State <br />Center for Health Statistics if they can run health data for the neighborhood to see if patterns of <br />disease or chronic conditions can be identified; and (5) find out how the landfill is vented and <br />whether there have been any problems with the vents. Once all the data is gathered, Ron <br />Holdway, John Sauls, and Rosemary Summers will meet with the community again. Dr. <br />McBride may be invited as well. <br /> <br />V.
