fI""
Present I Dr. Heyward Bellamy, Presiding I Dr. James Tidler, Dr. Frank Reynolds,
Mr. Ed Carter, Dr. James Smith and Attorney James C. Fox
...-
Minutes of the August meeting were approved by motion of Dr. Tidler, seconded
by Dr. Reynolds.
New ~artersl Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Knox had been to the JWMH building which has
been under consideration for use by the Health Department. After taking a good
look at the condition of the building and what would have to be done to make it
workable for our program they decided that it could not possibl'1be made workable
with the $50,000 set aside by the Commissioners for this use. It was the feeling
of the Board members present that this would be just a waste of meney. Dr. Tidler
suggested that we should have a new building on the new hospital grounds. Dr.
Smith made the motion that since it is the consensus of this Board that the $50,000
is inadequate for remodeling this building for our use that we stay where we are
until a suitable place can be furnished and that we investigate the availability
of Hill Burton funds for a new Health Department building on the hospital grounds,
this motion was seconded by Dr. Reynolds and carried unanimously.
~ ,
Right of Way Injunctionl Mr. Fox reported to the Board that our Dragline has been
used to open a ditch through the property of Mr. T. J. Phillips without written
consent and that we have been served with an injunction. Mr. Phillips wants the
debris moved that was left after the right of way was cut and the ditch cleaned
out. The hearing will be held on September 3. Mr. Fox suggests that we should
always get written permission before going on any property. Dr. Smith made the
motion that we require the Sanitation Department to get an easement signed before
we go on any property. Dr. Tidler seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
... .
Auditor's Reportl Dr. Tidler made the motion that the Board accept the Audit Report
as done by Cherry, Bekaert & Holland Auditing Firm. Dr. Reynolds seconded the motion.
Motion carried.
German Measles Vaccine I Dr. Knox told the Board that Dow Chemical Company had
proposed a plan for a mass measles vaccination program. They would furnish the
vaccine and the money for putting the program on. Dr. Knox will present this to
the Medical Society for their approval before we become involved. This was presented
for Information purposes only.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
