MINUTES - Draft <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />September 23, 2020 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2020 Agenda & Abstracts/ September Page 6 <br />with face-to-face instruction with strict adherence to mask wearing, distancing and hand <br />hygiene. <br /> <br />D. Media Items <br /> <br />Kristin Prelipp, Communications Manager, mentioned that all of the articles were COVID-19- <br />related including articles on local officials speaking about how we’re (Ms. Stewart and Dinah <br />Jeffries from EMS) leading OC in a crisis and the re-opening of UNC. Ms. Prelipp stated that <br />she did not compile all of the articles as there were too many to gather. She suggested <br />Googling “OCHD NC” and you will see an abundance of media items. <br /> <br />Ms. Prelipp stated that the National Hispanic Month video was Ana Salas’ idea. Ms. Salas, in <br />collaboration with the Latinx Equity Committee, a committee in which Ms. Prelipp and Ms. Salas <br />meet with weekly, assisted with the creation of this video. Ms. Salas wrote a script. People <br />from all over the community took the script, had fun personalizing it and sent it to Ms. Prelipp, <br />who put it into its current form for viewing. The purpose was to have the community talk to the <br />community with the intent of reminding them of risk reduction practices. Ms. Prelipp mentioned <br />that she’d love to do an English version. <br /> <br />Ms. Stewart added that she wanted to thank Aparna Jonnal for her participation on the Long <br />Term Recovery Committee. <br /> <br />Media items were in the packet which focused on Orange County’s events and our <br />involvement in various efforts. <br /> <br /> <br />VI. Board Comments. <br /> <br />Ms. Frega spoke on why there wasn’t a pharmacist representative present at the Board <br />meeting. Ms. Stewart stated that the response received from Thom Freeman, BOCC Clerk, is <br />that the BOCC spoke about Dr. Crandell’s recommendation at the September meeting; <br />however, they’ve moved the discussion regarding board appointments into the work session, <br />which meets next month. We are awaiting confirmation as to whether Dr. Crandell will be <br />appointed. <br /> <br />Ms. Frega stated that it would be great if the Board had a representative working with the Family <br />Success Alliance as Liska Lackey was the last representative. She’ll also send an email <br />reminder to the Board. Keith Bagby stated that he was interested. Ms. Frega will get in touch <br />with Ms. Bagby to connect him with the appropriate person(s). <br /> <br />*Alison Stuebe did not vote as she had to excuse herself. <br /> <br />VII. Adjournment <br /> <br />Keith Bagby moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:26pm and Aparna Jonnal seconded. <br /> <br />The next Board of Health Meeting will be held October 28, 2020 at 7:00pm via Go To <br />Meeting. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />
