Minutes of the January meeting were approved as presented.
Resolution of Appreciation to Dr. TidIer: Dr. Reynolds read a resolution of
appreciation to the Board that had been prepared by Attorney James Fox. The
resolution expressed appreciation for the service Dr. TidIer had rendered to
the Board of Health over the years. Motion was made by Mr. Chadwick, seconded
by Mrs. Hall and carried unanimously that the resolution be adopted and a copy
attached to the minutes of this meeting.
Requests for Deviation from Adopted Codes:
1. Warehouse on 23rd Street - Owner, Mr. Efird. Since no one would be
permanently stationed at this warehouse, request was made by the owner that he
be excluded from having to install toilet facilities. Mr. Melvin made a motion,
seconded by Mrs. Hall that owner be allowed to do this as long as the building
is used for this type warehouse - but if use should be changed or the size of
the building increased or if public health is endangered in any way, then the
Board of Health could require the installation of rest room facilities. Motion
was carried.
2. Building on Hermitage Road - Owner, Mr. Harry Hoover. The building in
--- question was originally built as a storage house - now the owner wants to make
a dwelling out of it to live on week-ends, etc. The lot is not big enough to
support another septic tank and well - and the soil suitability is questionable
for another septic tank. Dr. Furr amde the motion that request be denied, motion
was seconded by Mr. Chadwick and carried.
3. Request to put Trailer on Lot with House - Owner, Mrs. Mae Kelly. This
request is presented as a hardship case. Mrs. Kelly's daughter appeared to
request that she be allowed to put a trailer on the property belonging to her
mother - her father had recently died and her mother was in poor physical health.
Mrs. Horrell (the daughter) stated that she needed to be near her to care for per.
There is not enought square footage on the lot to install two septic tanks under
the present septic tank ordinance and the existing tank cannot take care of two
residences. Dr. Furr made the motion that this application be referred to Dr.
Finger and his staff - that proper soil tests be made to see if the land would
support another septic tank. The $20.00 percolation test fee would not be made
unless permission is granted. After test is made - this will be brought to the
March meeting for a decision. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carter and carried.
Policy on Public Statements and Release of Information to News Media: Dr. Finger
asked if the board would like to set a policy for releasing information on various
programs, etc. to the news media. It was the opinion of all members present that
Dr. Finger is already doing an excellent job with the news media and that we need
publicity of the programs of the department.
~-
NCPHA Annual Meeting: Dr. Finger told the board that the annual NCPHA meeting will
be held in Wilmington in September of this year.
Ou5T7
Tuberculosis Testing in Schools: It was reported that response to the program
has been excellent and results of the tests have been mostly negative.
Lead Poisoning Program: Dr. Finger announced to the board that employees for
this program have been employed and we are in the process of purchasing
equipment.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
