<br /> <br />From: Elmore, Susan (NIH/NIEHS) [E] [mailto:elmore@niehs.nih.gov] <br />Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 10:35 PM <br />To: Tim Smith, PE, PLS; Jessica Frega <br />Cc: Quintana Stewart; Elmore, Susan (NIH/NIEHS) [E] <br />Subject: [EXTERNAL MAIL!] FW: time to step down <br /> <br />Dear Tim and Jessica, <br /> <br />As you can see from the email below I have submitted my resignation from the Animal Services Advisory <br />board (ASAB), to end my term one year early (June 2019). My position on the Board of Health has been <br />as an ASAB liaison so this will also end my term on both boards. I have no doubt that the ASAB will be <br />able to find a replacement for me soon. There is already a veterinarian serving on the ASAB and she may <br />wish to be considered for this position. I’m sure that Bob will be in communication with Quintana soon. <br /> <br />I have immensely enjoyed serving the citizens of Orange County. I will continue my service on the NC <br />Association of Local Boards of Health as an Emeritus member and also on the NC Local Health <br />Department Accreditation Board. <br /> <br />My term on the Board of Health has been such a rewarding experience. Hiring two of the best Health <br />Directors (Colleen and Quintana) were certainly highlights. Quintana was such a joy to discover and I’m <br />sure she’ll continue do great things for our health department and the citizens of Orange County. <br />Banning smoking in public areas was also a highlight. I do hope that the board will reconsider vaping in <br />public spaces as this will be a very progressive action and safeguard public health. Keep an eye on what <br />the Durham Board of Health does! <br /> <br />Before I am gone from this board I will provide Quintana with information on the work of the Dangerous <br />Animals Taskforce to update our current ordinance. <br /> <br />I will see you both tomorrow night. <br /> <br /> <br />7
