ment of the third member to replace Dr. Knox will be taken care of by the ex-
officio members within the next few weeks). Dr. Smith made the motion that Dr.
Knox be reappointed as Health Director. This motion was seconded by Dr. Bellamy -
motion carried. Dr. Knox recommended that the entire Staff of the Health Depart-
ment be reappointed. Motion was made by Mayor Allsbrook, seconded by Dr. Bellamy
that the staff be reappointed. Motion carried. (These appointments are for a
two year term).
Salaries I Dr. Knox presented proposed salary raises which would bring all employees
to at least normal range, After considerable discussion, and Mr. Hall expressing
his feeling that the Board of County Commissioners would not go along with more
than a one-step raise, Dr. Smith made the motion that we follow up the original
motion that was made in May, 1968. Dr. Bellamy seconded the motion. Motion
carried.

Septic Tanks and Percolation Test: There was a general discussion of the problems
some of our residents are experiencing when buying new homes in our area. After
living in the homes for about six months, the septic tanks begin to overflow. We
have been approving lots on the percolation tests made by registered surveyors.
It was the feeling of the members of the Board that we should make our own percola-
tion test since it is our responsibility to approve or disapprove a lot. Dr.
Bellamy made the motion that we, with the approval of the County Commissioners,
employ a new Sanitarian or Sanitarian Aide primarily for making these tests. This
motion was seconded by Dr. Smith - motion carried.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Approved. February 5, 1969
