CONSENT AGENDA

DEQ Resolution. It was noted that the campgrounds were give $375 to inspect all CC campgrounds. There have been discussions with the State to turn over the campground inspections to the State of Michigan. CCPHD will continue to inspect the food and water within campgrounds. Purcell requested that CCPHD request the records of campground inspections within CC to confirm quality and completion of inspections. We will present to the Board in 12-month. The DEQ agreement will bypass the BOH and will be presented to the BOC on Thursday, October 19th. The State reductions were included in the 2006-2007 budget projections.

FINANCIAL REPORTS

Eva summarized the September 2006 preliminary financial statements.

The question was raised about the CDC’s recommendation of testing all identified high-risk for AIDS mandatory testing. It was requested that a final 2005-2006 financial report be presented at the November BOH meeting.

Regarding the improvement of Health Indicators will be the Health Educator coordinator’s directive to meeting with community partners that have processes in place.

BOARD DISCUSSION

Tsoumas asked for a summary to be presented to the community members who participated in the retreat and he feels like he’s missing something. Summary presented to the BOH every 2-3 months. Work into Bowersox’s evaluation. A summary will be presented to the Community Partners at the December 1st strategic planning update.

Is there something more the BOH should review. Tsoumas asked that the BOH receive and review prior to the November meeting in order to review and provide recommendations prior to the November BOH meeting.

November 2006 will make recommendations on new appointments for BOH. In the past, recommendations were made prior to the end of the term. Four board positions, Rick, Mitchell, Foerster, and BOC are expiring. BOH will discuss staggering BOH terms at the November 2006 meeting.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATION REPORT

Recommended the BOC take $50,000 of CCPHD fund balance. The BOC recommended Purcell speak to the BOH. Tsoumas stated that he understands where the County is at, strongly suggest we leave the CCPHD fund balance alone…would result in an estimate $70,000 in fund balance which is less than XX% of total budget.

Miller stated that it’s a shell game since the County must assume any unforeseen costs of CCPHD.

It was asked if, for example, that we needed $30K to spend on a diabetes minority initiative once the strategic plan is completed. We would need to go to the BOC and ask for that $30K. Board member asked about other departments and balanced budget presentation.

Administration stated that other departments are requesting items over and above projected revenue. Board member asked where the $50,000 is for….what pocket is this $50K going to. Have other departments presented a balanced budget.

It was suggested that the Board chair submit a letter recommending leaving the CCPHD fund balance where it is.

Meeting adjourned 9:28.
