12/01/1971 OO~49 MINUTES OF BOARD OF HEALTH, December 1, 1971 Present: Dr. Heyward Bellamy, Chairman, Dr. Frank Reynolds, Mr. H. A. Marks, Dr. James Smith, Mayor B. D. Schwartz, Mr. John Oxenfeld, Mr. Meares Harriss, Jr. and Attorney James Fox .... Minutes of the November meeting were approved by motion of Dr. Smith, seconded by /Ii.r. Marks. Well Re~ulations: The well regulations proposed by the Water and Air Resource Department were again discussed. There had been correspondence between Dr. Knox and Mr. George Pickett of the Water and Air Resource Department but nothing had been resolved. It was suggested that Dr. Knox write a letter to the State Board of Health pointing out the difference in their regulations and these regulations proposed by Water and Air Department. Our Board is especially concerned about the number of feet required for grouting a well since our water table would not allow this. Mr. Fox will also call Mr. Pickett and talk to him about the regula- tions. Mr. Marks made the motion, seconded by Dr. Reynolds, that after the problems are resolved that Dr. Knox and Dr. Bellamy handle the administrative decisions. Motion carried. Transfer of Funds: Permission was asked to transfer $500.00 from Contingent to Public Health Meeting item in the budget. Motion was made by Mayor Schwartz seconded by Dr. Reynolds - motion carried. A letter will be written to the Commissioners requesting this transfer. New Quarters: Mr. Marks and Mr. Herb McKim had been to the Medical Care Commission in Raleigh with plans for renovating the old James Walker Memorial Hospital Build- ing to house the Health Department. They were advised that two acres of land would have to be dedicated for this purpose and that we could also get 40% on new equip- ment to be purchased for the new quarters. A contract was presented for the Board's approval of an architect for the project. At this point questions were raised as to whether the building at JWMH would be adequate - would it meet future needs - will all the County offices eventually be in this vicinity - is this where the Health Department should be - etc. Dr. Smith stated that he was in favor of stay- ing in the present building until an adequate building can be provided. Question was raised as to the safety of this present building. Dr. Smith then suggested that Dr. Knox get the roof fixed so that the water level on the roof of the building would ~ot be dangerous. Mr. Marks stated that he feels the location at JWMH would be better than at the new hospital because we could serve the people where they live instead of their having to get transportation to the new hospital grounds. Dr. Reynolds asked the question - are we going to be able to get professional people to go into such an area to work. He also stated some of the changes that have taken place in the health field and said that he feels it would be a mistake to put the Health Department headquarters in the JWMH building. He stated that we could have satelite clinics in the different areas to take care of the people wherever they live. He also feels that if we wait a year or two that more federal money would be available for health purposes and that possibly we could get more financial aid on a new building. Dr. Reynolds made the motion that we wait until all members of the Board of Health are present to take a vote on the matter. This was seconded by Mayor Schwartz. Motion carried. Mr. Marks stated that he would like for us to proceed with Medical Care Commission ...~ and stated that this would not bind us in any way. Mr. Oxenfeld stated that we need to get an evaluation by Medical Care Commission on our needs. It was agree- able with the Board to proceed with the next step. CDSSD It was decided that a special meeting would be called with nothing else on the agenda except Quarters for the Department. Mr. McKim will be asked to be present to answer questions. Mayor Schwartz suggested that before this meeting each member of the Board go through the building in question. Mr. Marks also suggested a tour of the Social Services Building. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, , Approved: January 5, 1972 q~ ~- r~ 550 ~ ....i ~ I - ~ ....i .---- STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER.
