Business Items for Discussion and/or Action:
 

• A. DATCP facility plan review fee for Environmental Health. M. Lohr explained the DATCP program and need for a “Plan Review” for all new DATCP facilities. The “Plan Review” gives businesses an opportunity to build/remodel the facility according to state regulations before construction is started. Fee’s would be the same amount as the Preinspection Fees which are based on the size and annual dollar amount of the business. Motion by Stehling to approve the “Plan Review fees” and each fee to be the same amount as the preinspection fees based on the size and annual dollar amount of the business, second by Nobs. Motion carried.
• B. Bodendein reported on the customer service surveyfor Immunization Clinics. Last year clinics had been “Walk-In.” In 2011 they changed to “Appointments” for the Immunization Clinics. A survey was created to provide feedback to see if this change was beneficial. 31 surveys were returned and of those all the results were positive. Supporting the change to having appointments for immunizations. The surveys indicated that the Immunization clinics run smoother by having appointments.
• C. Bodedein handed out a list of potential changes in funding and staffing for the preliminary budget numbers for 2012 and briefly explained how those changes will effect the budget process. Will have a full report on Budget for Septembers BOH meeting.
• D. The Management Group – Special Committee. Stoeckmann reported the Special committee has had a total of 3 sessions and will meet on Friday, August 19. Stoeckmann stated that theTMG report has basically four recommendations for consideration. 1. Use the current functional group to drive and identify where services provided can be shared to maximize services for all departments (ADRC, HS, PH,HCC, Veterans Depts.) 2. All 5 Depts (ADRC, HS, PH,HCC, Veterans Depts) continue but the County Hire one Division Director to oversee all 5 depts. 3. Human Services and Public Health merge. 4. Do nothing. No changes/No merging. Stoeckmann reported that at the last TMG meeting they were asked to look ahead and get input from their Board Members, to take any of the recommendations off the table of consideration. It was the unanimous recommendation of the entire Public Health Board to remove recommendation #2 (2. All 5 Depts continue but the County Hire one Division Director to oversee all 5 depts.) and #3 (3. Human Services and Public Health merge departments.) from the items to be considered for the TMG committee. It was also noted that All of the Departments need to be supportive of one another and work together to maximize services. This committee will gather information to maximize the coordination of Public Health, Human Services and Aging and Disability Resource Center and make recommendations of their findings. Will report information of those meetings to BOH on a regular basis.
