S:\MANAGERS WORKING FILES\BOH\MINUTES\1990s Minutes\Minutes 1996\596MIN.DOC 3 MAY 23, 1996 Mr. Reimer informed the Board that a meeting had been held with the Manager and his budget team, the Health Director, the Personal Health Services Director, and the Administrative Officer regarding Health Department position requests. The Manager indicated that he would support the Community-Based Public Health Initiative and the realignment of the vacant FNP I position to the PHN position. He could justify supporting these because they are a part of the existing list of positions in the Health Department. However, he would not recommend adding the administrative support position in the Child Service Coordination program in part because the position request came so late in the budgeting process and no other departments are requesting new positions. The Manager stated that he could put his recommendation in writing. Following discussion, the Board instructed the Health Director to get the letter that the Manager said he would send explaining his reason for not adding the Child Service Coordination position and draft another letter, with the assistance of Eileen Kugler, voicing the need for the position; set up a meeting with the Manager to review the request for the CSC position. This meeting needs to be scheduled prior to the release of the budget and the public hearings in June. The meeting will consist of the Board Chair, Vice-Chair, and Board members of the Personal Health Service Committee, along with staff. 8.2 Health Director’s Work Plan The Health Director provided the Board with a final, revised version of his workplan for the period April - November 1996. On May 2, 1996, the Director reviewed this plan with the Division Directors who endorsed the strategies within the major objectives. The timetable seemed reasonable except for the timetable under objective #8 regarding Outcome Orientation. The Directors suggested that many people will be on vacation during July and August which may make the September and October deadline not feasible. The Director recommended moving the dates forward two months each. Item 8.2 - September; Item 8.3 - October; Item 8.4 - November. A motion was made by Dr. Klein to approve the Health Director’s Work Plan Objectives for April - November 1996, with the proposed date changes. The motion was seconded by Ms. Crowder-Gaines and was passed unanimously. 8.3 Health Director’s Updates Mr. Reimer gave a brief, verbal report of monthly activities undertaken by the Health Director and other significant information. This item will become a regular item on the agenda beginning in June. 9.
