DEQ Resolution. It was noted that the campgrounds were give $375 to
inspect all CC campgrounds. There have been discussions with the State

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.

BOH receive and review prior to the November meeting in order to review
and provide recommendations prior to the November BOH meeting.

In the past, recommendations were made prior to the end of the term.
Four board positions, Rick, Mitchell, Foerster, and BOC are expiring.

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.
