Minutes of the September 2 meeting were approved.
New Quarters I Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Bellamy were asked to investigate the
availability of Hill-Burton Funds for a new Health Department building.
Size of Water Tanks and Pumps: Letters were read between Mr. Dan Hardee and
our attorney, Mr. Fox, regarding a water tank which had been installed by Mr.
Hardee which did not meet requirements adopted by the Board of Health. Dr.
Knox was asked to talk with Mr. Lacy Goodyear to find out just what health
implications are involved in the size of the water tank. Mr. Fox will wait
until he hears from Dr. Knox before beginning legal proceedings. (After the
meeting Mr. Goodyear told Dr. Knox that there were no health problems connected
with using the small tank and pump.)

salary set for this position to that of a Sanitarian I. Dr. Reynolds made the
motion, seconded by Dr. Smith, that we request the County Commissioners to
increase this salary, taking part of the unused salary set aside in the budget
for a laborer. Motion carried.

Bids on Truck for Percolation Test Program: Mr. Perry Shepard, County AUditor,
had advertised for bids on this truck but we only received one bid. This bid
was from Cape Fear Motor Sales, Inc. Dr. Reynolds made the motion that we
accept this bid, subject to the approval of our attorney. Dr. Smith seconded
the motion, motion carried. (Mr. Fox checked out the bid and advised that it
was in order.)
.
X-Ray, Dr. Knox told the Board that we needed two new Cassettes for X-Ray and
that we had money in our equipment account. The Board agreed that we should
purchase these if needed. Dr. Knox also asked the Board to set a policy on how
long we should keep negative X-Rays in our files. Mr. Metts asked Dr. Knox
to investigate what others were doing and report at next meeting before policy
was set.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
