Mrs. Vivian Wright, Mr. R. E. Carter, Mrs. Roma Lee Hall, Mr. George

Absent: None
Minutes of the April meeting were approved as presented.
Penned Horses: Three people from Seaview Woods Trailer Park appeared before
the board to complain of three horses penned in a back yard, several German
Shepards in the front yard, and chickens roaming around in the yards of a
neighbor. They complained of the odor and flies and wanted the Board of Health
to declare the situation a health hazard. Mr. Frank Olive, Director of
Sanitation, reported that he and two other sanitarians had visited the place
in question and had found nothing that would justify delcaring this a health
hazard. Dr. Reynolds made a motion that Mr. Olive have the wells in this area
inspected and tested for organisms with two samples being taken one week apart.
He also asked that the samples be compared to the community system being used
in the area. Motion was seconded and carried. Mr. Olive will report findings
to the board.
Part Time Private Practice for Employee: Dr. Laris Milligan, Dentist, has
asked permission to do private practice after hours and on Saturdays. Since
Dr. Milligan is not on our payroll it was the opinion of the board that he
should have a letter from Dr. E. A. Pearson of the Dental Health Division
stating that this is in order. The letter will be on file in the department.
'--.,.
Milk Fees: Dr. Knox gave a report on the cost of doing milk samples in the
laboratory and recommended we charge $3.00 for milk, $2.00 for sour cream,
buttermilk and yogurt and $1.00 for butterfat. Dr. Reynolds made a motion, seconded
by Mr. Chadwick that these prices be put into effect June 1. Motion carried.
Lead Screening Program: It was called to the attention of the board that in
order for the HEW Team to come into the community to do this study they would
have to have approval from the Medical Society. Dr. Knox was asked to write
to Dr. Conway Fick1en, President of the Medical Society to request this be brought
to the Medical Society for approval.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Approved: June 2, 1976
