Board of Health MinutesCalhoun County Board of Health ATTENDEES
Anderson called the meeting to order at 8:01 am beginning with introductions. Motion to approve the agenda. McDonald moved. All in favor. Approved. PUBLIC HEARING Clean Indoor Regulation. Mayer summarized the regulation and why the coalition is moving forward with the Clean Indoor Air Regulation. Berezonsky spoke in regards to Public Act 1971 and his feelings about enforcement and suggested that everyone read the public act prior to voting. Anderson asked for motion to approve the resolution. Solis motioned. Tsoumas supported. Anderson asked Bowersox to summarize the town hall meetings. All in favor of supporting the regulation to present to the commissioners in August 2007. Bowersox thanked the Tobacco Reduction Coalition members for their work and support. Mayer thanked Bowersox for her leadership on this issue and for her support in the community and Roux for her assistance. APPEAL Overley presented information on the sewage disposal appeal. Purcell asked about the mound system. Overley stated that a mound system is an alternative, however, they are very maintenance intensive and expensive. Purcell asked if there are any proposed systems the Board or Environmental Health (EH) could suggest. Overley did not recommend another system. Closest public sewer system is Marshall. Overly stated EH does not recommend these systems due to the routine maintenance requirement. If there is a change in property ownership, will the system be properly maintained? Question: Is there a potential to approve a Mound system with the stipulation that the owner pay for routine maintenance. State will approve a mound system, however, the State does not typically get involved at the local level. CCPHD will be responsible for clean up should maintenance not be maintained. Overley stated that the individual requesting the appeal is the developer, not the property owner. Maintenance becomes more of an issue. Environmental health recommends prior land inspection before purchasing any property. Mr. Coates will present in August 2007. McDonald suggested that we look to see how many mound systems are installed. Forester also suggested that we look at surrounding counties and if they approve in their sanitation code.

Ponds stated that the Health Partnership met last week and announced the recent changes. McDonald suggested an outreach for minority partners and the faith-based organizations. The annual report for 2006 FIMR will be completed in August 2007. Tsoumas suggested that we obtain grant funding to bring the FIMR cases up to date. Solis asked about the process.

Forester asked how abortion data is collected. Roux will find out. Reichenbaugh presented on the marketing committee pieces.
