00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:58,520
All right, I've got 5:30, so if we can
start, please make sure your microphones

2
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,520
are turned on.

3
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Well, we'll wait early, so

4
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,680
You don't think it's going to work?
What do we do then?

5
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:11,440
Okay, so
All right, so they're recording if we do

6
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:17,239
Okay.
All right, if we can start we'll

7
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,239
start with the Pledge of Allegiance.

8
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:26,200
» Pledge of Allegiance
>> to the flag of the United States of

9
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:34,680
America and to the republic for which it
stands one nation under God indivisible

10
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,680
with liberty and justice for all.

11
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,080
» All right. Perfect.
Are you with these chairs and

12
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,640
All right, we'll go with a roll call.

26
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120
» All right, thank you. Um

27
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:03,200
All right, first thing we need to do is
look at our meeting minutes from the

28
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:09,600
quarterly meeting of April 21st.
And review that and look for

29
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,600
corrections or approvals.

30
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,200
» Everybody had a chance to review the
minutes?

31
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Any corrections or discussions?
>> I have one correction.

32
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Uh my name
is spelled

33
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Yeah, and and the text throughout.

34
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,480
» There's one place where there's no E on
any and that's no big deal or whatever.

35
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,560
» Girl, I thought I got it all right.
You know how picky we are.

36
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:31,960
» That's okay.
>> Trying to make it pretty for the minute.

37
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,560
» Like it really matters.
We got bigger fish to fry, I'm pretty

38
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,840
sure.
>> Your name is fine.

39
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:44,280
» It was fine the one time.
>> It was tripping.

40
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,280
» It was tripping wild.

41
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,280
» Mine's L E but that's all.
>> It's L E?

42
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,920
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

43
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:59,000
» It's okay.
>> Well, I'll make the correction.

44
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,140
» Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything but
>> I wouldn't even thought of

45
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,140
» [laughter]

46
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,640
» My

47
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560
Oh, Lisa.

48
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,520
» Well, everything else is spelled
correctly.

49
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,520
» We're going to have to go through it.

50
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:26,440
All right.
Uh any other corrections or comments? If

51
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,040
not, we'll
entertain a motion to accept or

52
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,360
» Motion to accept.
>> Motion to accept made. Do I have a

53
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,120
second?
>> I'll second.

54
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:40,240
» Motion made and seconded to accept the
uh

55
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,800
April 21 meeting minutes with
corrections as noted. Uh all in favor,

56
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,200
say I.
>> I.

57
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,800
» I. Any opposed? Same sign. Motion
passes.

58
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Dr. Engel.
>> Thank you.

59
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,400
» And then Dr.
>> And I second.

60
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,560
» All right, old business. Uh anybody have
anything they want to bring up?

61
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,360
I got a
couple items as we saw in the minutes.

62
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Uh
How did the blood drive

63
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:17,320
on May 12?
>> Um I don't remember how many people

64
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:21,000
ended up signing up but they had a
pretty decent turnout again this time.

65
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,240
Um I think our next one will be in
November. We haven't planned it yet

66
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,480
though but I'll be sure to send that out
when we

67
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,839
» That's good work doing that.
>> Oh, definitely.

68
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,760
» I think it's great.
>> Yeah.

69
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:36,720
» And then right under that we tabled the
logo issue or meeting or

70
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:41,000
items. So,
I don't know if anybody brought their

71
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
stuff from last

72
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:47,040
month or not. We had
three logos we were looking at and we

73
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:52,160
tabled it so that we would
have a chance to digest and get

74
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,160
everybody's opinion this month. So,

75
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,960
here they are.

76
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:07,240
Is that medical symbol is that
a caduceus?

77
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:13,080
Is that symbol of
>> That's like a public health symbol.

78
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,080
» Okay, public health symbol.

79
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Um

80
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:33,360
So, should we deal with that now? I
mean, we had I can pass these around

81
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:35,680
again if the board hasn't doesn't
remember. You want to pass them down

82
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,320
there?
Then pass them back.

83
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:44,120
And we'll send them down this way.
There were three logos. One's the

84
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:50,280
original logo that you see on your your
meeting and then two other logos

85
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:53,240
that had the
Well, you just have to

86
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,360
hard to describe.

87
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Okay.

88
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,000
What?
Okay.

89
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,760
» I think they're going to sign on this
side. They are going to ask you.

90
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,760
That's tough.

91
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,080
» Um, sign in.
Oh, wait a minute.

92
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,680
» Those are meeting minutes.
>> Everybody went all right, so sign on the

93
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,040
left.
>> Were you present at the last meeting

94
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,640
minute? You have to be present at a
meeting in order to sign the meeting

95
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,760
» I was there.
>> Okay.

96
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,920
» Thank you.

97
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,839
Where are you going? The S F D is

98
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,560
So, these were the logos that were
proposed.

99
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:05,320
Does the office
staff in general have have a general

100
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:08,520
opinion or or a preference? Has anybody
come up to a

101
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:12,200
consensus as to what
direction you would like

102
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,640
the board to head?
Where to

103
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,800
» Um, I think we were favoring the one
that had the state of Indiana with the

104
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,720
gold star.
On I don't remember which number it is

105
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,960
on there.
>> I think it's number three.

106
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,160
» I think it's number three.
>> Three?

107
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,640
» The one that I remember is this one
down.

108
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:29,840
Down
>> here.

109
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:36,080
I think you favored that one, Dr. Allen,
didn't you?

110
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Um
So, I'll leave it up to the board then.

111
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:56,240
Any discussion from the board? Any
suggestions?

112
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:59,560
The staff was thinking that uh the third
one is the one they would

113
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:13,720
Okay.
Do you want to make a motion for that?

114
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:19,720
» Motion to accept number three.
>> Motion made to accept the uh

115
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:24,400
the third logo
as presented.

116
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,320
And Dr. Porter seconded.
Any discussion?

117
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,640
All in favor, say aye.
>> Aye.

118
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,160
» Aye.
>> Any opposed?

119
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,120
Motion carried.
Number three it is then. Um

120
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Under
the new business minutes from last

121
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:50,960
month, Margaret Mary Hospital has sent
out flyers

122
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:55,440
for August 2nd, which is a Sunday, from
11:00 to 3:00, I believe.

123
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Or 2:00 or 3:00.
Um about having an open house. Anybody

124
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,480
can show up and I don't know if the
cafeteria's going to be cooking or not,

125
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,280
but
we'll find out. But you can tour the

126
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:10,640
facility.
Maybe get a blood draw, I don't know.

127
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:14,160
But it's it's open. So, I just wanted to
We got one in the mail at home, so I

128
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:19,520
didn't know how far they reached with
those flyers, but

129
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:23,680
are we ready for the uh
birth and death certificates?

130
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,640
» I think so.
>> I think it'll I don't

131
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,960
» I think it's going to be one of those
things where you just going to have to

132
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:34,560
learn as you go.
You'll just

133
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,600
It's I can't imagine affirming a birth
record is going to be a whole lot

134
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,960
different than affirming a death record.
>> Right. And I don't know if there's going

135
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,760
to be that much of an uptick in
in business, but

136
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Okay.
>> I think the biggest thing is going to be

137
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,600
like paternity tests.
That's going to be a new avenue, but

138
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,400
They've been discussing it quite a bit
at some of the conferences I've been at

139
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,520
recently and some of the virtual
trainings that I've been attending. They

140
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,280
discuss it quite a bit. So, I feel
pretty confident.

141
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,800
» Your system is
running well.

142
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:09,240
» Mhm. Yeah, it's when records is amazing.
>> It's good. Good to hear.

143
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:17,440
All right. Uh
updates for old business. Any other old

144
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:21,000
business?
All right.

145
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,560
Then let's move on to quarterly staff
reports and updates beginning with Dr.

146
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Wells, please.
>> Thank you. So, I'll start off with the

147
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:33,360
public comments. You know, I I feel the
board should hear what the public is

148
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:37,200
saying about our health department. Um
the nice part is uh it's been all

149
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:43,160
positive. Uh
very uh good feedback on the health

150
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:49,839
department's uh booth at the fair last
week. Um also lots of good comments

151
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:54,160
about the swimming program that the
health department helped sponsor. A lot

152
00:16:51,920 --> 00:17:00,120
of people in the community sought me out
to thank the department and and the

153
00:16:56,839 --> 00:17:04,880
health board for sponsoring that. Um
and then I got a I got a call from

154
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:10,120
somebody in the community that uh
just within the last 2 weeks had to get

155
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:14,000
some business done in the department and
uh

156
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:18,199
a tough time for her and her family at
this time,

157
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:23,640
uh but was very happy with
um, not not only getting what she needed

158
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:28,520
from the department, but also
how the department made her feel when

159
00:17:25,959 --> 00:17:33,240
she came at it at a troubling time. You
know, it's never easy when you when you

160
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:37,960
lose a family member. And uh,
just wanted to

161
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,920
to let the board know that um, getting
good feedback uh, from the community.

162
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:46,120
Um,
and uh, also wanted to let folks know

163
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,000
where
uh, I think many of you've heard us talk

164
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:54,400
before about the rural health
transformation program. Um,

165
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:59,760
and we've had folks in the department
and myself involved with that. So, we're

166
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:06,120
in region six. Um,
the state's divided up in regions of uh,

167
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:10,120
federally designated rural counties. And
then there was five work groups of

168
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:16,720
different areas. I I worked on the
trauma injury reduction part. Um, and

169
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:20,720
the work groups came up with ideas for
initiatives. And then that went to

170
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:25,280
there's several layers within the
region's

171
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:30,280
committee. And you had to get folks who
would um, sign on for some of the

172
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:34,960
initiatives. For instance, one of the
things we were working on is to get one

173
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:39,960
of the hospitals in region six to step
up as a a consider being a a trauma

174
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,360
center. It'd be a level three and
Decatur County is thinking about it. So,

175
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,880
we're
try to get we're trying to get some

176
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,280
funding through rural health
transformation to go out and give them

177
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:56,840
some seed money to do a
look at the plan to see if if they would

178
00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:03,040
be a good candidate or not. And now that
those ideas go to a separate committee

179
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:07,520
level at the state. Uh, and folks at the
state have been involved in the in the

180
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,760
process. There was facilitators for each
uh, region. Um,

181
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:15,040
there was uh, Jonathan Barclay and
Hannah

182
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:19,800
Putman uh, were some of the
facilitators. So they had companies that

183
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:24,560
were helped with the facilitation. Um,
these these are government technically

184
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:28,200
government grants. And they have their
own way of doing things.

185
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:32,720
It's it's not like you like if you go
everybody knows how to go buy a car or

186
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,840
get a bank loan. This is government and
it's

187
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:40,600
another level.
And so that was that was an interesting

188
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:44,560
but all the initiatives and things
are now at the state level.

189
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:49,160
Uh, and if they approve the initiatives
then then they will initiate contracts

190
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,320
with the different groups. Uh, one of
the initiatives that we had looked at

191
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:58,200
was trying to get more ambulance
vehicles

192
00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:03,360
within region six. And um,
the first step will be uh, to to do a

193
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:08,800
survey of all of the
EMS agencies within region six to find

194
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:13,000
out what the capacity is, how often are
they not at capacity. Uh, you know, they

195
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,920
might have a vehicle out because of
maintenance, they might have a vehicle

196
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:21,000
out because it was in an an accident.
Uh, or maybe they don't have the

197
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:24,720
personnel to man it. Um, and then the
idea is we were hoping over the five

198
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:28,080
years of the uh, rural health
transformation to try to get three

199
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:32,160
vehicles within
the counties of region six. Um,

200
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:38,400
those are just some of the some of the
things and also trying to get more stop

201
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:44,440
the bleed kits, um, helmets and um,
more education for folks in in the area

202
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:48,680
uh, when it comes to injury reduction.
Um, so that that's that's moving along.

203
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,280
Um,
kind of along that same lines there's

204
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:59,080
several different ways that you can get
education um, when it comes to emergency

205
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:03,400
management or EMS. Uh, today I actually
spent much of the day on a virtual

206
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:09,280
meeting of what's called uh, basic
disaster life support. And um,

207
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:14,200
it I it was very beneficial. I was
talking to the the staff before we met.

208
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:19,120
I think it may be something beneficial
for interested folks in the staff to

209
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:22,880
take. Um the one I took today was
actually funded through the trauma

210
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:28,080
commissions uh what's called the
southern track. And that or that group

211
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:34,160
of the trauma commission is helping to
pay for education whether it's ATLS,

212
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:41,360
whether it's um they help pay for some
specialty trauma care and maternity

213
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:46,680
cases for folks in Decatur County ED. Um
and if that uh if we have more

214
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:52,040
opportunities, I'll let the staff know
so they can uh participate because if we

215
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,000
if we have um
that

216
00:21:53,320 --> 00:22:03,320
course handles everything from
if you have a tornado or a flood or

217
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:11,080
um there's a you know uh a spill of
everything from ammonia to radioactive

218
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:14,840
uh materials and we know in in uh
particularly in our county when there is

219
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:20,160
a disaster, that's when
the staff steps up. So I I thought it

220
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:25,080
might be nice if if next opportunities
coming forth where it's uh the education

221
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:29,160
fee is is covered
um

222
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:33,840
that we see who in the department um
is interested. On a On a funny note, I I

223
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,520
got my ebook and I'm just looking
through it.

224
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:41,960
Boy, this book looks familiar. And then
I realized um I actually helped put the

225
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:47,560
thing together a few years ago. So that
was that was kind of a nice uh nice

226
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:51,480
refresher. Um we're always learning new
stuff um

227
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,920
in the health department. Our latest
interesting question came when

228
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,720
apparently there's a part of the county
with quite a few feral cats.

229
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:06,640
And um
that might be on our list of things to

230
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:11,880
think about and possibilities um if when
we get the HFI funds restored

231
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:15,920
um and I would invite the board to be
thinking uh

232
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:20,000
in the spring um the when they had the
public health day at the state house, I

233
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:25,880
had a chance to uh talk with the
governor and Dr. Weaver.

234
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:31,120
And uh he assured me that there would be
definitely more resources in '27 coming

235
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,800
through the state house uh through the
for the HFI funding.

236
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:39,160
And to top that off, he then got on the
podium and spoke to the group and he

237
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:45,200
said the same thing. So, I'm very
hopeful that we will get some of those

238
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:49,160
funds restored if not all and I would be
asking the the not only the staff but

239
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,000
the board members to be thinking about
projects

240
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:56,920
um expand some projects and maybe start
some new projects

241
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,280
uh that we hadn't had done
um

242
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,200
and
when we're doing stuff like this, I have

243
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,560
to tell you I I I do take it
to my colleagues at the national level

244
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,920
and I was talking about some of the
things we have done in this county in

245
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:14,320
this health department uh when I was at
my uh AMA Board of Trustees meeting over

246
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,360
the weekend.
Um

247
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,720
they
they think they they know public health

248
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:23,640
is is a
a good thing and they but they don't

249
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:28,840
understand all the
all the things that it that covers.

250
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:32,640
Uh and I it's nice to
get in front of some of these folks who

251
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,240
are at these uh big institutions across
the country and

252
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,400
and brag about Franklin County.
Uh

253
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,960
and one of one of the things that
Franklin County has had done before was

254
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:46,800
to help with the pre-hospital
transfusion and that idea is spreading

255
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:51,880
across southern Indiana.
Uh so, health department is helping

256
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,320
fund, southern track is helping fund
um

257
00:24:53,280 --> 00:25:00,360
So, lots of good stuff, lots of good
comments. I'm really proud of of the

258
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:03,920
staff and I'm appreciative of the board
that

259
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,960
helps us get get good work done.
I

260
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,920
If anyone has any questions, I'm happy
to

261
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:14,600
to answer. That was great. Excellent. Um
any questions from the board?

262
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,600
Comments?

263
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,560
Thank you, Dr. Wilson. We'll move on to
Natalie, the nurse.

264
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,960
» All right. Um so, just a few things I'll
highlight. I won't read everything since

265
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:37,400
you guys have it all on here. Um I
attended the community um

266
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:41,600
it's QPR training, but it's
what those

267
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:46,400
initials stand for is question,
persuade, and refer.

268
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:50,840
Um it's a gatekeeper training, so and to
help kind of identify in some mental

269
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:56,120
health cases. Um
Another big thing I um completed my um

270
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,120
lead investigation, so I can do the
cases for in the county that come

271
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:04,600
through
along with Joni's help.

272
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:10,520
Um and then I also attended a 4-day
training.

273
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:15,760
Um I am now a certified car seat in tech
um for the county, so if

274
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:20,320
um mother or family member or somebody
comes in

275
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:24,760
needing um a car seat, if they have an
unsafe one or whatever, if I do the

276
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,440
inspection, um help them install it
correctly.

277
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:34,640
Um and then
I also attended the um 2-day public

278
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,560
health nurse conference in Indianapolis.
Learned a lot there.

279
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:42,760
And was participating in different um
learning sessions.

280
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:49,600
And then the next week we attended a
2-day um IHS conference in Indy. Um

281
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:54,400
that's more of like the school-based
one.

282
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:58,840
Um learned a lot of um, examples for
awareness and management. Especially,

283
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:03,320
they had a very interesting thing
for type 1 diabetic children.

284
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:09,720
And also handle with care, which we're
hoping to bring to the county. Would

285
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:16,320
really beneficial to the school system.
Um, and then also we [sighs] have been

286
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:20,560
doing our normal vaccines. Um, Joni and
I were talking earlier. We feel like

287
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:25,360
there's been actually a lot of TB
testing increase in the last at least

288
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:29,360
month, um, which is a good thing.
Um, and still continuing to do our B12

289
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:34,080
injections.
And then I'm still working on I've had a

290
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:38,000
lot on my plate since I started.
Um,

291
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,920
feel like I'm doing satisfactory.
Um,

292
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:47,000
I wanted to get my CPR training
um, certification so I can help

293
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:51,720
um, do CPR classes for the community.
Um, and then we are

294
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:55,600
um, still trying to get our maternal
child health program, especially with us

295
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,760
taking on the hospital now.
Want to have that to be able to provide.

296
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,600
Um,
and then we also

297
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:07,520
this weekend we are getting ready to
have our first community baby shower to

298
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:12,520
help um, the community and first time
moms and guardians and stuff that are

299
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:17,720
out there so we can help with different
things and um,

300
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:20,720
providing car seat inspections there and
um,

301
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,160
hoping to have our safe sleep class
there.

302
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:31,400
And then just helping
starting to help prepare to transition

303
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,400
to the new hospital.

304
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:41,680
» Sounds good. Any questions?
I've got one. Could you explain this

305
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:45,920
community baby shower? What the
function's going to be?

306
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,560
And what our participation is really
going to

307
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,760
» Yep.
We're co-sponsoring it with the

308
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,920
Southeastern Indiana Fetal Infant
Mortality Review Coordinator. Her name

309
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,320
is Kirsten. She works out of the Ripley
County Health Department.

310
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:03,280
Um
and it's a baby shower for people who

311
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:07,800
are expecting or have little ones maybe
under a year or two old. So, we have

312
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:12,760
different vendors. I call them vendors.
Nothing is for sale. Um who will be

313
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:16,960
there, who have different resources for
people with young children or people who

314
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:21,200
are expecting such as health care, um
like Natalie said they'll have a car

315
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:25,840
seat safety check.
Um and if they do the car seat check,

316
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,640
they can get a car seat for free that
um

317
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:33,600
FIMR has paid for.
Um they'll also have a safe sleep class.

318
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:38,600
Uh we'll be giving out
uh water and some of our resources like

319
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:43,080
summer safety, water safety, things like
that. Um and then I know like the

320
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:46,120
pregnancy center will be there.
Um

321
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:50,040
I forget some of the other ones that
will be there, too. She just sent me the

322
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:57,080
email this morning and I forgot.
Um but basically anything related to

323
00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:00,920
pregnancy, infants, um they'll all be
there. And it's open for the community,

324
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:04,880
so anyone can come, stop by, and see
what we have.

325
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,120
» Is this new?
>> Yeah, we've never done one before.

326
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:13,400
» Cool.
Who set this up?

327
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:18,120
» Um it was mostly Kirsten out of Ripley
County, but I helped her with the FIMR

328
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:21,760
team. So, we kind of like did a joint
collaboration. And she has also helped

329
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:25,760
host one. I think she did one in Ripley
County and Decatur County, also. And

330
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:29,040
they had pretty good luck there, so
we want to try one here, too.

331
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,840
» Well, I hope it goes well. Sounds great.
>> Yeah.

332
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,080
» Good.
>> It'll be at the library.

333
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,040
Yep.
>> That's Saturday, right?

334
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,720
» Yep.
>> Thanks for working overtime.

335
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,760
» Yeah, of course.
>> Good.

336
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,760
All right.

337
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Thanks, Natalie.
>> Yes.

338
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,640
» Um Johnny?
>> I kind of feel like I'm

339
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,800
piggybacking on a lot of what Natalie
said. Um

340
00:30:54,040 --> 00:31:00,400
we are a good team, yes.
Um I also attended the public health

341
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:05,720
nurse conference in Indianapolis um for
2 days, and one of the sessions that I

342
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:10,680
participated in was um learning how to
perform auditory and visual screening to

343
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,640
help the schools when it comes time for
them

344
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:18,920
the school nurses to do their auditory
screenings and visual screenings. Um if

345
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:25,880
they need assistance, I can now do that.
Um I too also became a QPR gatekeeper

346
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:32,600
um a little later than Natalie did, but
um got that done. Um I'm also now part

347
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:38,000
of the suicide and fatality or suicide
and overdose fatality um team.

348
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:43,800
And um
we just had our first meeting last week.

349
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:47,520
And
I I as my first meeting, I think it went

350
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,440
good.
But

351
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,240
I guess
my boss will tell me if it didn't.

352
00:31:54,586 --> 00:31:58,920
» [laughter]
>> Um and like I said, echoing off of

353
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Natalie's things, I really do feel like
we did a whole lot of um TB testing

354
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:10,720
um blood draw and skin testing, so um
yeah, I think bringing awareness and

355
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:16,440
that kind of thing helps. Um our normal
vaccinations, our normal B12s, um

356
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,960
some of the goals that I look forward to
doing um

357
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:24,160
is continuing to work with Natalie to
develop our maternal child health

358
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:27,280
programs. Um
that's never really happened for us, at

359
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:32,160
least since I've been at the health
department. And um I'm really excited

360
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,520
about that. Once again, preparing for
the community baby shower.

361
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:39,200
And um
the biggest thing for me probably is

362
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:43,160
preparing for our upcoming school
vaccination clinics um and just helping

363
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,720
the school nurses. It's kind of a
passion.

364
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,240
And they keep pointing I

365
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:57,320
» She thinks it's not an honor, but I
think it's a great honor out of how many

366
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,160
health departments there is in the state
of Indiana, she got an award. For 94

367
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,760
health departments.
>> 94.

368
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:11,800
I just kind of feel like I like my job
and I like what I do and

369
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,400
that goes along with it. I don't feel
like I went above and beyond.

370
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,800
But
>> That's excellent. Good.

371
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:22,240
» But thank you very much.
>> Any questions for Joey? Discussion?

372
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,480
» I got
>> No, good.

373
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,920
» We do not.
>> We can't hear you on Zoom.

374
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,320
» You did Did you hear me?
>> I did.

375
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,640
» Okay.
>> And we do not

376
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:42,000
» have any We have one that we are waiting
on additional testing for, but I don't

377
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,560
believe it's going to turn out to be
anything.

378
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,560
» Good. Good. Good.

379
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:52,680
» What does the uh your work with the
schools on vaccination clinics? Could

380
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:56,880
you kind of explain what's
how that's all coordinated?

381
00:33:54,280 --> 00:34:03,360
» Um I get with um all the school nurses.
They give me kind of reports on um which

382
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:09,040
children are behind, what's needed,
which children need, what's required. Um

383
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:15,760
I developed and I did it last year, I
developed a permission slip consent form

384
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:21,639
that they can send home with the kids um
explaining what shots are needed for

385
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:26,679
grade levels and that kind of thing. Um
and then parents sign and giving me

386
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:33,480
permission. I will call each child's
parents to sign up for this service um

387
00:34:30,919 --> 00:34:37,760
to explain to them what's needed.
All that, you know, things like that.

388
00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:42,919
Um, then I will go to the schools and
provide them at the schools. So that

389
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:46,440
that way if you know, a parent can't get
to the health department, you know, they

390
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:50,440
live in Laurel or Andersonville,
sometimes it's a hardship to drive a

391
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:54,800
half an hour or have the money to put
gas. So if you're, you know,

392
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:58,040
if it's a question of having gas money
to get to Brookfield to get those

393
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,320
vaccinations or to the grocery store,
you don't have to question it. We'll do

394
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,120
it at school.
>> I think that's an excellent program. Is

395
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:08,640
this common throughout Indiana or is
this kind of unique or

396
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:12,680
» Um, I think it's somewhat common. Um, I
don't think it's common for us. Last

397
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:16,400
year was the first year that it had been
done in several years, I believe.

398
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,800
Um,
but we there's always going to be kinks

399
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,080
to work out, but I think it went really
well.

400
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:26,200
» What's a great way to connect. Make
things happen. Good.

401
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:33,240
That's the nursing reports. Move on to
Dave.

402
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,240
The environmental.

403
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:46,840
» Uh, the the numbers are right in front
of you on the inspections. If you have

404
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:51,160
any questions about those, um,
couple notes uh, that act that aren't in

405
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:57,440
here.
They might be in next quarter, but uh,

406
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:02,680
I did go over and uh,
recently look at the cafe in the

407
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:10,400
hospital. Uh, they were having some
drain issues that they resolved

408
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:14,400
uh, on August 5th. We're going to do the
final inspection

409
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,600
for the cafe and not and not anything
else.

410
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,600
Uh,
and then I did have a meeting with Dr.

411
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:26,040
Macy. I don't know if anybody knows her.
She's with BOA, Board of Animal Health.

412
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Uh,
Dr. Caitlin Macy. And talked about uh

413
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:38,240
cat uh there's been a lot of bats, dead
bats found, and she was going to look

414
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:42,560
into it. That's not really her forte,
but she was going to

415
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,800
get with the uh DNR to see what's going
on.

416
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:49,760
And then we also talked about
the uh

417
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:54,080
the cat problem, which I think is a cat
problem.

418
00:36:51,200 --> 00:37:00,160
But I'm not a cat person, so
there we have lots of cats in town uh

419
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,560
in all the communities, driving most
people crazy.

420
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:08,360
Um
she said that another uh I think it was

421
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Decatur County's has the neuter
uh spay

422
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,680
program that works great.
Uh

423
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:20,160
she didn't have any other
uh

424
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:24,720
suggestions.
Anyway, down the road, we're going to

425
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,960
we're going to uh
She said she's going to come. We'll try

426
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:33,720
to work with the Humane Society.
We'll see if they'll

427
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:37,960
help, you know.
At a minimum, you know, get them fixed

428
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:43,000
so there's not a million more in 2
years, you know, so.

429
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Uh and then uh

430
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:51,160
we got some uh resolution on the
hoarding behind my house,

431
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:55,160
which is nice. It's not totally done,
but uh

432
00:37:52,360 --> 00:38:01,920
the gal that had the problem, she is
seeing a psychiatrist uh

433
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:05,760
regularly to
hopefully

434
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:09,920
get her mind and
you know, quit collecting pizza boxes

435
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:14,400
and everything else that uh goes along
with that, but uh

436
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:19,440
so that's work working out. Uh
Send some tick information to

437
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:23,400
county medical facilities. That was just
some updates that were sent from

438
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,440
the state
uh

439
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,920
sent a letter to the a family in New
Trenton about

440
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,880
they didn't want to pay for their
garbage to be picked up, so they were

441
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:40,680
storing it in their garage, and their
neighbor was complaining, and

442
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:44,200
I sent the letter, she called me, and
and uh said, "We'll get taken care of."

443
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,240
And they did. And that's not always how
it goes, but uh

444
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:54,480
And then we had a sewage issue with the
uh

445
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:58,120
which Tim took a look at, too, but I was
involved because it was behind

446
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:06,120
uh
Lakeside Shell, uh Subway,

447
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:09,800
the pizza place over there, uh Gilman's.
I think they're all

448
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:15,600
I don't know the whole layout, but
they're all hooked in together, and they

449
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:19,360
run to a pump system behind Goff's
Automotive.

450
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:23,400
Uh
Anyway,

451
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:27,760
I think the pumps that the pumps that
were in there were from when the lake

452
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:30,800
was put in, so it's pretty old,
and they fixed them.

453
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:36,960
They didn't want to because it was about
$40,000 for the pumps, but uh

454
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:41,320
So, supposedly, that's
from that point, it's pumping into the

455
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:45,640
town sewer going down, you know, down
the other end of town, so

456
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,200
uh for I haven't been over there lately,
but supposedly, there's

457
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:53,160
that's a res-
That's fixed. Supposedly.

458
00:39:54,920 --> 00:40:00,440
» You know, that one that Lakeside Shell
made uh

459
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:04,840
Excuse me.
Franklin County Observer, so

460
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:08,240
if I remember right, they had a picture
in

461
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:11,560
on the news article on the
So,

462
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:14,760
glad it's fixed.
>> See, just wanted to go uh follow up on

463
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:19,240
the um
feral cat situation. It

464
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:23,600
It that's a a problem in
adjacent counties, too, like Ripley.

465
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,120
» I was going to
>> When when we

466
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:31,920
get the increase in HFI funds, that may
be something that we can look at it

467
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:36,720
project-wise. Maybe working with
neighboring counties like Decatur and

468
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:41,360
and Ripley. I was We were talking before
about program they have on the east side

469
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:45,000
of Indianapolis. They have Believe it or
not, they have a similar problem in

470
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:50,280
Indianapolis. But they have a a group
that goes and gathers the cats, gets

471
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:53,800
them fixed, and then they make sure that
they're fed and watered.

472
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:57,360
» Yeah, and then in small counties, that
is harder to do cuz you can't get people

473
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,840
to do it.
>> And there's There's one other thing I

474
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:05,960
want to make sure the board knew about
that um

475
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,720
he started um
We always get calls about people who are

476
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:13,600
having trouble
whether it's maintaining the house or

477
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:18,400
they they just get overwhelmed by some
of the

478
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:23,520
roofs leaking and whatnot, and there was
somebody that um

479
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,240
We had gotten a lot of calls and and
somebody in

480
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:33,000
in town
and Dave had reached out to try to

481
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:35,800
help get this person some assistance and
they

482
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:40,400
um
person turned it down, but then they had

483
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:44,680
a medical condition came up
and

484
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:47,160
finally help was gotten for this
individual.

485
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,120
And I
I don't think it would have worked had

486
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:55,120
it not been for the foundation
that Dave set with interacting with this

487
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:59,520
person. I just
wanted to publicly thank Dave for

488
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,960
taking the time to go reach out to this
person and

489
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,480
uh you know, they say if you don't
succeed first, try, try again. And I

490
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,440
think you're reaching out
>> And sometimes I need to try more and

491
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:12,840
more and
>> Well, but because because you reached

492
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:17,600
out when this person had some medical
trouble and others tried to help. I

493
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,720
think she that person was more receptive
because of of your efforts. I just

494
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,480
wanted to thank you.
>> Oh, you're welcome.

495
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Yeah.
>> One more comment about the cats.

496
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:35,920
Uh
since I I love them so much,

497
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,040
uh
I wish they were edible.

498
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:42,360
They're not edible.
Oh, they are.

499
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:47,160
All right.
>> Remember this is a public

500
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:53,120
» We had uh
We had at one point uh it's been several

501
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:57,920
years and I forget who the county
uh

502
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:01,680
dog catcher I That's the title, but they
do cats and dogs or whatever, but

503
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,680
and they were
they had purchased a bunch of box traps

504
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:10,800
for the
to to help the citizens that were

505
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:14,280
complaining about
too many cats.

506
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:18,280
You know, and nobody claimed them, you
know, they're just roaming around eating

507
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:21,600
whatever they feel like eating.
So, they went and caught them all, but

508
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:26,880
the people
I don't know who did it,

509
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:31,560
but people would go and see where those
traps were and they would crush them.

510
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,840
So, it was costing county quite a bit at
that time

511
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:38,520
because they always crushed all our box
traps. So,

512
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:45,360
uh
so, that's probably

513
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:48,840
uh where a meeting with the BOA Humane
Society

514
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:52,680
such and such
had that good plan where they're all on

515
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:56,360
the same page instead of
one

516
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,720
ruining the efforts of the other, you
know.

517
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:02,960
So, we'll see how it goes, but hopefully
we can get that going.

518
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:07,160
» Can I ask a question?
Can you

519
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:10,520
clarify what the problem is with the
cats? I don't have I'm not advocating

520
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:15,240
either way. I'm just saying are they
just a nuisance? We don't like them. Are

521
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,080
they keeping people
causing

522
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:22,440
» They just have so many that they
complain constantly about the cats

523
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:26,240
pooping and peeing all, you know, around
their flower beds, their house, their

524
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:30,600
porch, on their chairs. And they're not
there, so they're just roaming.

525
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:34,120
And they're just And cats do whatever
they want normally, you know.

526
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:39,240
» No, I just wanted to be very specific
what the problem is other than there's

527
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:44,920
just people that are seeing cats.
>> Oh, no, it's not what they do with their

528
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,560
you know, their where they go to
bathroom.

529
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:53,120
Uh what they may
what they may

530
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:57,560
eat or leave behind or what they kill.
Most cats hunt and kill certain things.

531
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:02,880
Uh
But

532
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:05,000
the main complaints I've had are more
uh

533
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:13,560
urine and feces on porches.
>> Okay.

534
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:16,800
» And in flower beds and
But there's other things, but

535
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,440
» Yeah, I just wanted to be specific about
what the problem is.

536
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:23,080
» that I've had lately. That's what
And they, you know, they uh

537
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,280
Basically, they don't want to have to go
out and buy traps and do it themselves,

538
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,520
you know, so
>> I just feel like if we're specific about

539
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:35,680
the problem, it makes the solution a
little bit easier to target so that, you

540
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:40,920
know, we we're not basing it on number
of cats or I don't know how you would

541
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:43,520
quantify the uh progress in this, but
you

542
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:47,600
» I mean, I guess it would be
you would have to almost go with areas

543
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:51,920
that have the problems.
>> Yeah. Uh well, and then also to Dr.

544
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:57,280
Walsh's point, do we need to wait for
HFI funds? I mean, if it's an issue

545
00:45:53,800 --> 00:46:01,320
There are There are groups in town in
the county, I think that they might have

546
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:05,880
funding for this or
is there another I just don't want to

547
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:09,560
wait till 2027 if there's a problem now
and trying to understand

548
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:13,080
» Oh, that's well, I I haven't talked to I
was out of town, but I haven't talked to

549
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:16,840
Dr. Macy, but she said she wanted to go
down to the dog pound and

550
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:20,160
and then maybe set something up with the
Humane Society to see

551
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:23,400
uh
if we can

552
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:27,320
» We can circle back to this when we get
to new business because we're going to

553
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,600
need ideas on spending the previous
years HFI funds.

554
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:34,120
» You got it.
>> That's coming down the pipeline that um

555
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:36,760
we cannot use that as like a savings. We
have to spend it.

556
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:41,280
» Okay.
>> So, we can circle back to that topic

557
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,280
when we get there.

558
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:45,080
» Okay.

559
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:54,360
Any Any other questions for Dave?

560
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,720
I guess.
Move it over to Tim.

561
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:09,520
» This last quarter
uh

562
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:14,720
we issued 16
septic permits.

563
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:17,280
Although there were many that came in
that uh

564
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:25,400
Um they're going to go in this summary
yet. Got kind of a late start because it

565
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:29,760
was so wet this spring. The ground has
to be so dry

566
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:33,200
uh to install.
Uh

567
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:38,160
I also brought in this
these photos so maybe you'd have a

568
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:42,440
little more understanding about
uh and one of those is somebody's in

569
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:47,600
this room.
Uh one of those sand systems.

570
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:54,400
Uh
the top row is our sand ATLs and the

571
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:57,200
bottom are chamber systems.
Uh

572
00:47:55,720 --> 00:48:01,240
» See the picture there up there so you
can see what I'm talking about.

573
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:07,680
» Well, I'm not going to do much talking.
But I also brought in a completed soil

574
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:12,840
report
that are issued to people when they want

575
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:19,040
to do a septic. It's got uh
what we require. It's there's a septic

576
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:25,680
application here.
Uh minimum specification sheet that we

577
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:31,160
figure and give to the homeowner
who gives it to their installers

578
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:38,360
and photographs here
and drawing. So, it's kind of a

579
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:44,360
a lengthy process to get a septic.
Uh

580
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:51,160
and it's kind of interesting um
once you learn, you know, what all this

581
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:55,920
and and to to install.
But uh and Lisa's been a big help.

582
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:00,720
Uh
with the computer

583
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:04,840
and downloading everything.
Uh a big help. So,

584
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,880
uh
anyway, there's going to be a lot more

585
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:14,000
this summer
as it weather heats up.

586
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:17,560
But if anybody has any questions
about anything. Does anybody want to

587
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:22,680
know who's
on that board back there?

588
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:26,600
» So, your your pictures are showing
typical

589
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:29,120
septic installations for what we see in
this county.

590
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:34,080
» Yeah, this is
>> So, you've got elevated mound with

591
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,439
» It looks great.
>> [laughter]

592
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,120
» You got to fill that one up. you got to
permit for that.

593
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:49,480
» Define chamber for us, would you?
What's a chamber?

594
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:59,000
Are they septic tanks?
The actual septic tank?

595
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,720
No.

596
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:57,880
» In your septic tank we got laid.
Every 6 months you want to pull that

597
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,480
filter out.
>> Yeah.

598
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,840
» About this long.
>> Uh-oh.

599
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,280
» Straight out in the water.
And what I heard them say was a good

600
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:10,560
idea
is take a large big heavy garbage bag,

601
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,400
set that down in that garbage bag, and
then spray it.

602
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,720
» Mhm.
>> And put it back there. I'll keep all

603
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:19,600
that debris.
>> Mhm.

604
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:19,600
I don't know.

605
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:27,040
» I don't know. They get so wet there.
Floating objects that that filter for

606
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,520
the cabin.
>> Really?

607
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,360
» Your your system your lines are going to
be

608
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:35,840
last much longer.
>> Look, nothing falling.

609
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:38,680
» Now, when these good towns say we can
run them

610
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:42,000
uh uh uh uh
new trend

611
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:45,600
they don't have a lot of power. Most of
them don't have opportunity.

612
00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:49,960
That
bottom of my old back.

613
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:56,920
We'll keep sand out of them.
This this is for a two-bedroom here.

614
00:52:52,400 --> 00:53:01,080
This is 13 by 52.
Typically, most of y'all

615
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:07,600
with a small sand filter.
And you can you can make them longer and

616
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:11,880
narrower,
wider, shorter.

617
00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:16,000
So, they'll you know
they'll be good somebody.

618
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:21,160
See what they get.
Uh all of you don't have any idea.

619
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,840
That's right.
And

620
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:28,800
also, they Everybody thinks their
grandfather went because he did.

621
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,360
And they're all going to go back.
>> Mhm.

622
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,720
» I don't have
any of my grandfather in it.

623
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,040
Very few grandfathers would do what he
did in the past.

624
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:43,400
» Mhm. Right.
>> Also, a lot of times we don't do

625
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:48,240
anything. They can They can call and
make them fine.

626
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:52,960
They also need to fill out a thing.
Fill this out.

627
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:57,000
Anybody can say they have to come by,
but it's your responsibility.

628
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:59,600
Why is that?
See what I mean?

629
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,800
I didn't know.
Oh,

630
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:09,160
any questions?
>> You know that

631
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:13,640
green on the lower left,
is that a septic tank inlet or a

632
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:17,920
chamber?
Okay, so the filter goes on the septic

633
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:21,560
tank, which is everything from the house
goes into that first.

634
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:29,600
And then it goes to the distribution
field. Okay.

635
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,040
» All right.
Three risers.

636
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,160
» Yeah.
>> Yeah, right there. Three.

637
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:47,120
And then the distribution box.
That's another thing.

638
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,760
Uh sand systems
typically don't require a distribution

639
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,960
box
unless it's pumped.

640
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,800
Uh
Well,

641
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,360
but anyway,
any questions?

642
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:08,440
» No, that was very helpful.
Appreciate the intro

643
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,680
information.
>> Yes.

644
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:18,720
Septic soil reports and photographs
and marked out everybody.

645
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:24,960
» Now, soil reports, you don't do the soil
report. You every That's

646
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:30,120
soil scientist has to.
>> They should do it cuz people call in.

647
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:34,120
Got to fix stuff before she can
email them

648
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:39,000
uh five pages of stuff.
>> It's a packet that It of walks it.

649
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:43,160
We have a septic packet available that
kind of walks them through like the

650
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:47,800
process. So, there's a list of qual-
that are certified installers for the

651
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:51,080
county and a list of soil scientists
that typically work in the county. And

652
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,880
it's up to them to call them and make
the appointment with them. We don't

653
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:58,280
recommend anybody. We just provide a
list.

654
00:55:54,640 --> 00:56:01,800
» And we do that with with the soil.
Uh

655
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:04,520
there's uh pamphlets on all of it that
we go by.

656
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,520
And uh
from these from these companies.

657
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,400
» Mhm.
>> Uh

658
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:14,440
they tell how big it has to be. Well,
but it all goes by how many bedrooms

659
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:18,400
there are.
It does it

660
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:22,520
I tell you got four or five bathrooms,
doesn't matter. It's the bedroom.

661
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:29,160
» Mhm.
>> And this application that's in here

662
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:32,920
is uh
you know, there and I'm not going to

663
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:37,480
point any fingers, but there are people
that want to save money by telling that

664
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:40,440
there's less bedrooms
than there really are.

665
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,200
So,
that's a lot of

666
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:48,480
for the application. Write it down on
the application how many bedrooms so

667
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:51,880
that in a few years when it starts
backing up with believe me on the

668
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:55,200
ground,
you got 12 people living in that house

669
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,160
and you said you got three bedrooms.
That's exaggeration.

670
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:01,840
» A little bit.
>> But that's a lot.

671
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:04,360
» It happens.
>> Yeah.

672
00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:07,480
» Thank you.
>> Thank you. Very good.

673
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,480
» Thank you.

674
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:14,840
» Uh
who's going to cover for Sierra Bergen?

675
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:19,680
» I can. Um she wasn't able to make it
tonight, but you can see on her

676
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:26,120
quarterly report that um she attended
the South Regional Health Integrated

677
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:30,040
Preparedness Plan Workshop in April. Um
she went along with

678
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:33,760
the three of us to the Firefly
Celebration in the Park um that was

679
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:39,120
hosted by
Firefly, which is a organization

680
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:43,680
um, who specializes in like, uh,
children's health and welfare. So, we

681
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:48,720
went as a health department and set up
and shared some resources. We had little

682
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:52,560
snacks and stuff for the kids there.
Um,

683
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:55,760
and then she had a few discussion-based
exercises that she either attended or

684
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,880
hosted.
Um, she

685
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:03,960
was on one of the local health
department calls. She attended a few

686
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:07,680
meetings and June 30th was the last day
of her grant year, so she got all of the

687
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:12,080
deliverables done. We've already
invoiced the state for it. And we're

688
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:15,600
just waiting to get our reimbursement
from there, but uh, we had a meeting

689
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:19,720
with Alan, which is our regional
coordinator for FEP. Uh, we met with him

690
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:24,920
on Friday and he said everything looks
good on his end for us and that she's

691
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:28,840
doing a great job.
>> So, she's

692
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:32,360
been here what, since,
since November?

693
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:36,480
» She started in November.
>> November, okay.

694
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:41,120
So, and everything's going well and
and she's going to remain, uh, or the

695
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,960
position still a part-time?
>> Correct.

696
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:46,760
» And it's going to stay that way?
>> Yep.

697
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:51,600
» Okay. Any any other questions
for the emergency coordinator

698
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,600
report?

699
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:56,920
All right, Brittany, you want to keep
going?

700
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,160
» Lisa, do you want to go or do you want
me to go?

701
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,320
» It doesn't matter. I'll buzz through
mine pretty quick.

702
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:05,560
» Okay.
>> Uh, a lot of mine is just kind of like

703
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:09,240
the continuing responsibilities and
duties that I have. Um,

704
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:13,920
I want to take a quick note that I have
been working pretty diligently with Win

705
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:19,680
Win records to get a lot of data entry
to keep us digital. Um, I would like to

706
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:24,040
see the department be more relying on
the digital portion of things, so

707
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:29,120
everybody has access to it. Anybody can
look up something. Uh, septic permits

708
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:34,000
were a big one. Uh, that's going to take
a while. That's probably going to take

709
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:37,440
probably several years if we're going to
go back as far as the '70s and upload

710
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:44,040
permits.
But so far, I have all permits from 2021

711
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:48,440
to current uploaded digitally. Tim can
go into a drive that we have

712
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:53,840
specifically for WIN records. He can
just go to the year and he can go to not

713
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:57,440
non-permitted or permitted. Type in a
last name and boom, it pulls up the

714
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:02,320
permit just like that. And he can have
it readily available for someone.

715
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:07,640
Um, what a lot of people don't realize
is they'll come in um looking to

716
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:11,080
renovate or upgrade or do some
remodeling to a home. They want to make

717
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:15,560
it bigger
and uh, they don't know where their

718
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:20,440
septic's located at. So anything older
than 50 55 years, we're probably not

719
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:24,200
going to have record of it. The health
department did not start keeping records

720
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:29,280
until the '70s when the health
department was established.

721
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:35,040
Um, I've had multiple virtual meetings
with the new um system that we're using

722
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:38,600
for um
doing our

723
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:43,560
registering for patients and stuff. It's
called My Visit through the state.

724
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:48,320
And what we learned recently is if we
can get credentialed

725
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:53,360
uh, through billing, the state will take
care of all the billing for us and flip

726
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:58,840
our revenue from right now we go through
VaxCare and they're keeping 90% of the

727
01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:02,480
revenue and we're only getting 10%. That
would flip

728
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:07,160
and we would get 90% and the state would
only get 10%. So we're going to need

729
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:10,400
some assistance from you, Dr. Welsh.
There's a lot of information that we

730
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:13,480
have to have with you being the health
officer in order to get that

731
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:17,680
credentialing done, but that would
definitely make a huge impact on our

732
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:20,360
revenue and hopefully get us some extra
funding.

733
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:24,560
Um
I did receive another large donation of

734
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:27,960
hygiene products. If you come into my
office, I have it hidden so you can't

735
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,360
see it, but the minute you open up the
door, you're like, "Whoa, what's all

736
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,880
this?"
Um

737
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:38,400
but there's a lot of shampoo that we're
putting out to the public. Um

738
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:42,360
there was a lot of other different types
of hygiene, a lot of dental stuff that

739
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:46,880
we're making available to the public. I
was also able to put together six

740
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:50,000
hygiene kits uh for the veterans office
and I took it downstairs to our local

741
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:53,240
veteran service
lady and she's going to pass them out to

742
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:57,040
local veterans.
I attended the national child passenger

743
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:01,760
safety training course, passed with a
100% score. I'm now a certified

744
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:04,920
technician so I can perform the car seat
checks. It was a four-day course and it

745
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:09,360
was held at the Batesville Fire
Department. I assisted Tim and Dave with

746
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:12,800
letters and contacting the attorney Jean
Stewart with the violation at Lakeside

747
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:17,120
Shell.
I also assisted, this was a new one for

748
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:21,600
me. Um I actually reached out to Ripley
County to have her give me some guidance

749
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:26,200
and
between her and reaching out to the

750
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:29,040
state, I assisted with an overseas death
record.

751
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:33,480
And what I learned with that is when you
have a death that happens on the seas,

752
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:38,080
uh you have to go to whatever the
closest embassy is.

753
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:42,160
So, they they don't even deal with the
state at all on that level. You have to

754
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:48,040
refer them to the embassy. So, I was
able to look up a number for the embassy

755
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:52,480
that um this person needed and try to
help her out as much as I could. So, we

756
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:56,920
had the funeral director involved. We
had Ripley County helping in the state

757
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:59,640
and we were able to kind of get her in
the right direction. I haven't heard

758
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:03,400
back from her so I'm hoping that's a
good sign that that all helped.

759
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:08,280
Um you can see the different meetings
that I attended virtually.

760
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:11,040
And on the back side of my report, you
can kind of see the numbers for the

761
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:14,200
death records,
birth records,

762
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:18,640
um
CPR cards that were issued, workbooks

763
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:22,440
that were issued, VaxCare reimbursements
for this quarter, you'll see that

764
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:26,120
they're down. Um our VaxCare
reimbursement usually spikes during flu

765
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:31,040
season, so right now we're kind of like
not in flu season, so there's not going

766
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:36,480
to be a whole lot of reimbursement.
And VaxCare is who we use for our

767
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:40,040
private insurance. So if somebody comes
to us and they have their own insurance

768
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:44,640
through an employer,
we run everything through VaxCare.

769
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:48,680
Um that can sometimes pose as a
challenge because sometimes the

770
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:52,520
insurance companies don't want to pay,
and it falls back on us. And

771
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:55,640
technically, we are supposed to be the
ones to reach out and get that

772
01:03:54,080 --> 01:04:00,040
reimbursement.
So if we can get hooked up with MyVisit,

773
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:04,120
that would take that off of our plate as
well, too.

774
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:09,200
We wouldn't have to reach out to
um either the insurance company or the

775
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:12,080
resident and say, "Hey, there's a
balance due."

776
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,640
The state would take care of all of that
for us.

777
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,040
That's all I got.

778
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:24,400
» Questions for Lisa?
I've I've got one on the death records.

779
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:29,760
Uh
I know people usually ask for multiple

780
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:34,040
death records, like 10 or 15. So I'm
just trying to

781
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:40,160
correlate the four births compared to
how many deaths in the last quarter.

782
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:45,200
» It varies with death records. Um
just in like just we'll say this week, I

783
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:49,160
had a request for five for one person,
five for another, and just one for one

784
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:54,120
person. I've actually had an order as
large as 20.

785
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:58,120
But it was a larger family, and every
family member wanted a copy.

786
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:01,960
» So it's clear that uh
death records are

787
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:05,960
way above the number of birth records
that are issued.

788
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:10,360
» So death records are typically used for
like insurance purposes.

789
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:14,400
Um if they have to clean up anything
statewide, they're used for that. And a

790
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:18,400
lot of times when you're cashing in on
an insurance policy, they want a

791
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:22,440
physical copy. They don't want They want
a certified copy. They don't want a

792
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:26,920
photocopy.
So, that's usually why there are more

793
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:30,200
death records issued over birth records.
Most people only get one birth record

794
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:34,160
unless they lose it or it gets
destroyed,

795
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:38,440
they won't necessarily get another one.
>> Is there a charge for the death records?

796
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:40,600
» Yes. It's $20 per record.
>> Okay.

797
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:49,320
» And a lot of times the death records are
usually purchased through the funeral

798
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:53,120
home. They take care of all of that, so
that's kind of all.

799
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:57,880
» So, you don't get any requests online
for birth or death records?

800
01:05:55,240 --> 01:06:02,680
» If we do, they're usually via email, and
then we typically have them pull the

801
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:06,600
application off of our website, and they
mail in the application along with the

802
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:11,200
photo ID,
and um the $20 payment, and a

803
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:15,160
self-addressed envelope. And then we
just send it back out.

804
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:20,760
» So, is there a statewide or national
database where you can

805
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:24,760
» There is, but anything prior to 2008 is
not a guarantee to be in that database.

806
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:27,480
» Okay.
>> So, a lot of times when you're working

807
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:30,880
with some of these birth records, and
and the increase of birth records, I

808
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:34,520
will tell you, the first time I was at
the health department 4 years ago, we

809
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:38,880
didn't issue a lot of birth records.
But, since that star is so prevalent on

810
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:43,320
your driver's license, the BMV is
extremely picky about birth records.

811
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:46,960
Like, they've got
They want them done a certain way. All

812
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:50,320
blanks have to be filled in.
Um so, a lot of people are coming back

813
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,200
to me saying they don't they won't
accept my birth record. I have to get a

814
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:57,800
new one.
And then if it's an older one from the

815
01:06:54,960 --> 01:07:01,040
'40s, '50s, some of them I've even had
to go back as far as the '30s and the

816
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:04,280
'20s.
Um I have to pull the legacy records,

817
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:07,000
put them into WIN records, and then I
can issue them.

818
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:14,360
» There are a lot of a lot of people think
that the

819
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:18,400
they used to I mean, I'm old enough that
the hospital issued Here's your birth

820
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,480
certificate. Well, that's not
>> Yeah, that's not acceptable.

821
01:07:20,086 --> 01:07:23,240
» [laughter]
>> That's You got to go to the county

822
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,840
health department.
So, any other questions

823
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:32,200
issues for me?
>> Maybe random question, but just in my

824
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:35,080
brain, do we Is there data on number of
births versus number of deaths in the

825
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:38,360
county?
Um and this is the certificates that are

826
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:43,720
issued, but this isn't how many people
died in and how many people are

827
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:48,000
» I can probably look into WIN records and
look and see how I can pull a report.

828
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:51,120
» Dr. Walsh, does it Who Who tracks that
data? What Where does that go?

829
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,320
» Typically, the state.
>> The state does?

830
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,320
» Okay.

831
01:08:01,351 --> 01:08:03,371
» [clears throat]

832
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:33,080
» Well, and also
even in the recent years, it wasn't

833
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:37,040
until HFI funding that they finally
allowed local health departments to

834
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,720
issue birth records. I had all five of
mine at Margaret Mary and I had to go

835
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:43,520
all the way over to Ripley County and
pick up those records.

836
01:08:41,279 --> 01:08:47,359
» I just think I don't know if at the our
level that's interesting or data we

837
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:51,839
could use, but I just find it
fascinating to be able to look at, okay,

838
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:55,680
why are people in Franklin County like
what what are How are they dying? What's

839
01:08:53,759 --> 01:08:59,560
the leading cause of death? What is you
know, how many people are being born?

840
01:08:57,839 --> 01:09:02,080
Um just interesting data, but I don't
know who deals with that or who tracks

841
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,600
that.
>> That is something we can do with wind

842
01:09:03,759 --> 01:09:09,560
records. I would just have to be kind of
specific and I can talk to Mark about

843
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:12,240
how to write that, but he even talked
about it and brought that to my

844
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:16,759
attention that like if we got to the
point where we were pretty comfortable

845
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:21,240
with the system, we can categorize the
deaths and pull a report on it so that

846
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:24,000
you can kind of see what your leading
cause is.

847
01:09:35,799 --> 01:09:41,279
» Cuz that's that's a good way to look at
what initiatives we are interested in. I

848
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,720
mean
>> Absolutely. So

849
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:47,520
» I didn't know I didn't know what we were
doing.

850
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:52,640
» Lorraine, would you let me know what the
process is a hospital

851
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:56,600
delivers a newborn.
Then they're going to want a

852
01:09:54,160 --> 01:10:01,160
birth certificate pretty quick. So how
do you get that information?

853
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:05,680
» At the hospital, they have a folder. So
just from experience and now it's been

854
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:09,440
almost 5 years since I've had a child
there, but you usually get like a

855
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:13,280
welcome packet through the hospital and
it usually has that information in there

856
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:18,280
along with like a birth application, how
you go about obtaining it. I'm sure it

857
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:23,520
changed in the last 5 years because you
can now get a birth record at any health

858
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:26,960
department. Um but prior to that you did
you had to I had to drive all the way

859
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:30,040
out to Ripley County and get it.
>> So do they say here's my application for

860
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,120
a birth certificate
>> Mhm.

861
01:10:30,440 --> 01:10:34,480
» for my newborn, does somebody have to
send that in?

862
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:38,400
» Ripley County was always amazing to work
with. All I had to do was call and say,

863
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:42,640
"Hey, I'm planning on coming down here
to get my birth record. This is what

864
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:46,400
child I need it for and I needed to get
another one for this another child at

865
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:49,160
the same time cuz I had all of mine
about 2 years apart.

866
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,200
So I'd never made it down there. I'm
like, "So I'm going to go ahead and get

867
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:54,840
both of them." And let me tell you she
had them ready.

868
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:57,480
I walked in, I handed her the
application, paid the money and she

869
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:03,120
handed them to me. She had them done,
completed, ready to go.

870
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:06,680
» I'm I'm just wondering how the how the
county gets that information from the

871
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:09,360
hospital
to begin with.

872
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:13,000
» It goes into the database. It goes into
drive.

873
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:15,680
Into the state department's database,
and then it's there that I can pull it.

874
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:20,560
» WIN record?
>> It's through the It's through drive,

875
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:25,200
which is the state's database. And then
I have the capability of pulling all of

876
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:28,160
those records into WIN record.
>> By downloading a report.

877
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:33,240
» So, somebody at the hospital puts
>> Yes, somebody at the hospital inputs it,

878
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:37,040
and then it will bounce to me, and I
will have to affirm it and make sure

879
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:39,560
everything's correct.
And then it can be issued.

880
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:44,040
» Thank you.
>> You're welcome.

881
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:49,160
» There he goes.
Thank you. I needed to know or wanted to

882
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:53,280
know. Whitney.
>> All right. I'll just highlight a couple

883
01:11:50,440 --> 01:11:56,480
of things I did last quarter. Um in
April,

884
01:11:54,480 --> 01:12:00,160
uh a few of us went to the Stay Alive
Drug Take Back event, where we had a

885
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:04,880
table with some resources and stuff as
people came. It was like a drive-thru

886
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:09,440
take back event. Um so, we were there
for that. Um and like I mentioned

887
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:13,120
before, uh we went to the Firefly event
at the Brookville Park.

888
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:16,440
Um in May, we went to the Indiana
Immunization Coalition Awards Ceremony

889
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:20,960
for Joni.
Um about halfway through May, I attended

890
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:25,120
the IDOH Leadership Symposium up in
Indianapolis.

891
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:28,720
Uh let's see. In June, I attended the
Public Health Nurse Conference and the

892
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:33,160
Indiana School Health Network Conference
with Joni and Natalie.

893
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:38,160
And we set up a table at the Batesville
Pride event, where we gave out resources

894
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:42,040
and information to the community.
Um and then I just wanted to mention a

895
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:46,800
couple of new things
um that we've recently started. We found

896
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:50,680
out today actually that we are an
official Cribs for Kids Partner. And

897
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:54,880
Cribs for Kids is a safe sleep
initiative. It's national. So, now that

898
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:58,560
we're a partner, we're able to use some
of their branding and some of their

899
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,520
educational information
uh

900
01:12:59,380 --> 01:13:02,880
» [clears throat]
>> to talk about safe sleep in the

901
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:07,080
community. And we're also able to
purchase some of their branded items

902
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:12,240
that remind people what safe sleep is.
The baby needs to be alone, on their

903
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:15,280
back, in a crib, without anything in it.
Um

904
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:19,160
this year we were able to fund 100 swim
lessons for kids in the county. That

905
01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:24,760
just started this week, so it'll be this
week and next week. And we also gave

906
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:29,920
them safe water safety bags.
Um and we stuffed them. We had um

907
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,960
water bottles, we had sunscreen,
sunglasses, and then

908
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:36,960
some little like brochures and
information about water safety, more so

909
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:40,600
for their parents to read.
Um

910
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:44,160
and then we also started a drug
take-back program through the

911
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:49,000
Southeastern Indiana Recycling District,
who also does our um

912
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:53,600
yeah, our sharps containers. They come
and get those for us.

913
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:58,160
Um and then last week we were at the 4-H
Fair, where we gave out emergency

914
01:13:55,120 --> 01:14:02,080
radios, first aid kits, water bottles,
um a bunch of different resources. We

915
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:06,120
had tick removal kits, and we gave out a
bunch of bottled water to the community

916
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,120
for free.

917
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:13,440
» So, for take-back, does that mean that
you guys are open for taking back any

918
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:19,360
medication, including controlled
substances? Cuz my I've been told that

919
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:22,760
only the jail does that. Um
is that true?

920
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:26,640
» Um as far as I know, we're able to I
know we can't do anything that is under

921
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:31,160
like we can't do inhalers
or um if it's

922
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:34,880
needles, it has to go in our sharps
container. We can't take that back

923
01:14:33,480 --> 01:14:39,000
into there.
>> If it helps, the Ripley County Health

924
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:42,960
Department also
If it helps, Ripley County Health

925
01:14:40,480 --> 01:14:47,440
Department has a take-back
of all things except what she mentioned.

926
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:51,800
Um and that unit actually used to be at
the Sheriff's

927
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:56,480
uh department previous but now it's in
the annex and for sales and it's

928
01:14:54,040 --> 01:15:00,520
connected with the health department. So
>> We just have to keep it in hand. It's

929
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:03,120
not anytime a patient can't just walk in
here and drop off.

930
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:07,080
» They can come in and we just have to
keep it locked up. Like we don't have it

931
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:11,400
out in the lobby. We have we keep it
it's within our office which that

932
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:15,320
section of the office is locked anyway
and then it's behind a storage door that

933
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:19,280
is also locked. So it just has to be
behind two locked doors at all times.

934
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:22,160
» And then where does where does that go
eventually?

935
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:25,800
» When it's filled or whenever we need it
exchanged we call the company and they

936
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:27,840
come and for us.
>> I'll start letting patients know they

937
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,840
can come here as well.
>> Yes. Yes, please do.

938
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:33,400
» They try to bring it to me all time or
they can I go to the pharmacy and give

939
01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:34,800
this back?
>> No.

940
01:15:33,962 --> 01:15:37,840
» [laughter]
>> Yep, you can send them to us.

941
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:44,520
» Anybody in the county ever have any
issues with sharps?

942
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:49,640
Trying to get rid of them.
You know needles, etc.

943
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:53,000
» Um they can bring them to us. We can
accept them but

944
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:55,600
» uh needles and I thought
I wonder if there's an issue in the

945
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,920
county at all.
>> I have patients ask me about that too

946
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:02,960
and what I looked up online you can as
long as it's in a container you can put

947
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:06,440
them in like an old uh
yeah or bottle [clears throat] like this

948
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,720
and then you just put it in the trash
and you can also dispose of controlled

949
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:15,000
substances in the trash as well. They
recommend you crush it up and put it in

950
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:18,040
kitty litter or coffee grounds, yeah. So
that's what I usually tell patients but

951
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:21,760
I think they would feel very comfortable
bringing it to the health department.

952
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:25,120
That gives them some reassurance. So
>> And we also have empty sharps

953
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:28,680
containers. So if you bring us one that
is full we'll give you an empty one to

954
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:31,920
replace it. And then some people get
them through their pharmacy but if you

955
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:35,040
don't for whatever reason or you just
need an extra one we have those too.

956
01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:38,920
» Very good.
>> Margaret Mary also offers that too. You

957
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:41,040
can go there and get
sharp containers and take your full

958
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,680
ones.
>> Okay,

959
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,680
good to know.

960
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:50,440
I had one other question.
Um you said last day of grant year was

961
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,840
uh June 30.
>> Yeah,

962
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,600
the grant year for what?
>> anything, we gain anything?

963
01:16:54,320 --> 01:17:01,040
» Actually,
from the 25-26

964
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:05,440
to the 26-27 grant year, I think we're
getting an extra like $5,000 with FEP,

965
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:08,520
so
we're excited about that, but that's

966
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:11,280
really the only difference between the
two grant years.

967
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:18,640
» Okay. Anything else for ready?
All right.

968
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:22,040
That's the end of the staff reports.
Uh

969
01:17:19,480 --> 01:17:28,520
I'll accept or entertain a motion if we
can get one to accept the reports

970
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,520
as discussed.

971
01:17:29,480 --> 01:17:35,600
Motion made to accept the reports as
presented and discussed. Second?

972
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:39,040
» Second.
>> Dr. Engel, second.

973
01:17:37,480 --> 01:17:43,080
All in favor say I.
>> I.

974
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:50,120
» Any oppose? Same sign.
Motion carried.

975
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:50,120
Now, we go on to new business, right?

976
01:17:52,920 --> 01:18:01,320
All right.
You Lisa brought up ideas for spending

977
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:06,520
previous years HFI fund.
>> Do you want to present that, Britney?

978
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:11,360
» Yeah, uh basically the state let us know
that we can't hold on to those funds as

979
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:15,280
like a rainy day funds or
to use just however we want, but those

980
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:18,760
funds need to be spent.
Um

981
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:22,360
and their suggestion was to talk it over
with the board and the health officer,

982
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,760
talk it all over together and kind of
figure out a plan for how we want to

983
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:29,640
spend those funds.
Uh we have I think it's just over

984
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:33,000
$300,000
with previous years HFI funds that we

985
01:18:31,480 --> 01:18:35,400
can spend.
Um

986
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:39,000
and we don't have to pick anything
definitive today, obviously, but we just

987
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:43,360
wanted to get that conversation started.
So, when the state asks what our plans

988
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:46,080
are, we don't just say I have no idea.
So, if anyone has any ideas, that would

989
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:50,360
be great.
>> So, to begin with, there's 300,000 and

990
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,320
how long
do you have to

991
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,720
» I don't think they gave us a timeline,
did they, Lisa?

992
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:58,080
» Oh, really?
>> I don't think there's a time limit. I

993
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:01,800
think they just want a plan in place so
that they can report back to the state

994
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:05,240
why we need these funds. I think if the
idea was if the funds are just sitting

995
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:08,600
there, then we really don't need them.
But, if we're using them and we're

996
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:12,080
spending them, then it shows the state
that it's showing them at the state

997
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:16,080
level that these funds are crucial.
We've got to have these funds in place.

998
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:21,640
So, if we get some projects started and
some things rolled out, and we they see

999
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:25,400
a benefit to it, then there's a bigger
chance of us

1000
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:28,560
retaining those funds back.
>> So, are we brainstorming now for ideas

1001
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:33,400
on
>> I think that is the general idea, yes.

1002
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:38,200
I know we've been getting a lot of
requests for AEDs, like how we did in

1003
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:40,920
the past when we had the funding.
So, I think that would be a good place

1004
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:46,440
to start is
um continuing our AED program.

1005
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:51,800
We already have a list of probably what,
five or six different organizations that

1006
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:54,280
are looking for AEDs.
>> Well, that was very popular when you got

1007
01:19:53,480 --> 01:19:59,160
it going.
>> Yes, it was.

1008
01:19:55,560 --> 01:20:02,040
» Um Dave, you know, you can start looking
at a cat collection program with some of

1009
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,480
this money.
>> There you go.

1010
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:07,760
» It
In the past, we also had talked about

1011
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:13,600
and I I'm always blanking on if it's
Metamorph or or Laurel

1012
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:18,360
uh that the county got a building and
there was talk about upgrading it to

1013
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:22,760
where it could be used for a shelter in
disasters or um

1014
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:26,600
you know, a health outreach clinic type
of situation.

1015
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:31,960
Um and I previously we had had
discussions with Mr. Palmer um at the

1016
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:36,840
county and
that may be

1017
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:39,720
an an option if the county's wanting us
to help.

1018
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:44,720
I think it needed to be brought up to to
code as far as ADA access and

1019
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:48,480
Menominee. Yeah, okay, you're right.
Um

1020
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:52,080
and then uh the other
thing we had talked about before was the

1021
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:57,200
electrical hookups for different
buildings so the EMA can

1022
01:20:55,560 --> 01:21:01,880
when there's a disaster can back their
generator up and hook into that building

1023
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:06,320
firehouses and the building Menominee.
They're called the pigtails. It's a

1024
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:12,280
special electrical hookup uh
and I I know there was um discussions

1025
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:16,200
and before the HF1 funds got cut um to
line that up to get it

1026
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:19,000
to get uh structures uh
around the county

1027
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:23,736
um
able to hook up and looking at the fire

1028
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:25,280
departments first cuz those are
>> [clears throat]

1029
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:28,120
» usually in a disaster we really need the
fire department folks.

1030
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:31,280
Um
you can use it for cooling centers. You

1031
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:39,640
can use it for
um heating centers. Um if if shelters um

1032
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:44,520
and um
we may may be able to talk to some of

1033
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:47,640
the schools to do the same thing.
Um because the schools, you know, is

1034
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,840
another
common place people used to go into for

1035
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:54,200
assistance.
Um but just I'm just talking off off my

1036
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:57,120
head now.
Um

1037
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,880
but we can
we can see where things are at and talk

1038
01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:04,280
to our EMA
person cuz that was uh somebody we had

1039
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:06,200
talked to before.
Um

1040
01:22:05,656 --> 01:22:10,240
» [clears throat]
>> One of the other things we had talked

1041
01:22:07,480 --> 01:22:14,080
previously was trying to get um some
sort of telehealth set up at the county

1042
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:18,800
jail.
Um and then again the funds got cut. Um

1043
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:23,640
interesting enough there was some
telehealth related funding

1044
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:28,560
that we might be able to apply for
uh but it's kind of a short turnaround

1045
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:31,680
time. Um
and originally when we thought we were

1046
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:35,760
going to have more consistent funds
telehealth for some of the schools

1047
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:39,160
um so they can
connect to doctor's offices.

1048
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,840
Um
they had a really good program at South

1049
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:46,600
Ripley
uh but that kind of went away when uh

1050
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:49,520
when one of the nurses moved on to other
things.

1051
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:53,520
Uh she was the one who kind of have
spearheaded that.

1052
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:57,320
Um but she's now a nurse practitioner in
a different location.

1053
01:22:55,400 --> 01:23:03,200
Uh but any any sort of telehealth
services and um I know the

1054
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:07,680
previously the the sheriffs had some
interest

1055
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:10,680
um in that. Um
was there anything else on our wish list

1056
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:15,080
that we
had to sideline

1057
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:19,600
when they cut the funds?
I mean certainly we can reach out to the

1058
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:24,200
schools to find out if there's any unmet
needs

1059
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:29,520
um when it comes to public health stuff.
>> I was wondering if there if there could

1060
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:34,760
be a needs assessment um performed. I
don't know who would do that, how we

1061
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:41,360
would do that, but have some sort of way
to assess what are the needs. Um and

1062
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:45,560
then we can look at those and kind of
decide, okay, what's the I don't and I

1063
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:49,480
don't know exactly how that would be
conducted or who would do that or how

1064
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:53,280
you would decide any of that. I just
think it would be nice. I want to have a

1065
01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:56,600
needs assessment. But the other thing I
I'll just throw out there from my own

1066
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:59,760
personal point of view is that uh
transportation medical transportation is

1067
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:04,080
a huge need.
Um that's what most of what I hear a lot

1068
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:07,360
is people can't get to the doctor.
They'll Yeah.

1069
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:12,320
» That That actually is one of the items
on the rural health transformation and

1070
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:15,760
that um we were going to be eligible for
so many

1071
01:24:13,480 --> 01:24:18,240
vouchers for transportation.
Um

1072
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:22,960
and I don't know what the final number
is, but that again that that's gone to

1073
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:29,360
the state to approve. And then so so
that is that was part of the

1074
01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:34,400
RHT uh program. Um
we also may want to reach out to the

1075
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:38,800
LET'S. We we help with that with the
pre-hospital transfusion. There's there

1076
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:43,240
may be additional needs that they have
with that. We can reach out to um fire

1077
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:49,440
departments
and see if if there is

1078
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,440
any particular needs they might have.

1079
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:56,000
» Well, I know patients can use their
insurance and then there's Franklin

1080
01:24:54,120 --> 01:25:03,000
County transportation, but other than
that it it's fairly limited. Um I think

1081
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:06,120
that I also see people struggle with um
just in-home health services, wound

1082
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:10,840
care,
um being able to uh

1083
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:14,000
basic nursing needs, but also organize
their medications. I know there was the

1084
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:18,480
paramedic program where they were going
out and trying to do assessments, but um

1085
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:22,160
there's a lot of older people who are
just really isolated without

1086
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:27,440
transportation or medical knowledge and
don't have an understanding of how to

1087
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:32,560
take care of themselves, you know, and
follow complicated medical instructions.

1088
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:35,280
So, that's my other personal experience
with that.

1089
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:40,760
» I wonder if we would be better off
getting like a task force together to

1090
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:46,160
decide what the most important things
are to address on this list and put

1091
01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:51,240
something into motion to where the
funding is still going to be we can

1092
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:55,640
stretch the funding out um
and then hopefully see enough impact

1093
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:59,760
with the projects that we pick so that
at the state level they can see, oh wow,

1094
01:25:57,440 --> 01:26:05,640
this is making a big difference
and maybe supply some data to them and

1095
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:09,880
you know, try to move forward there. But
I just it might be easier to do

1096
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:14,440
something like that
um if you call it a workshop, I think

1097
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:18,400
that you can have meetings
pretty regularly

1098
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:22,960
um that can be kind of closed doors.
There couldn't be more than four

1099
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:26,360
board members. So, only three of you
could be in attendance at a time for the

1100
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:30,640
workshop.
But, you may even want to consider

1101
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:34,000
pulling in a county commissioner, too.
On that task force.

1102
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:36,480
» Good idea.
>> Good idea.

1103
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:46,720
» I agree that public transportation is
the worst thing for me. I don't know.

1104
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:50,640
There's always like people tied up.
There's not enough vehicles. I don't

1105
01:26:48,480 --> 01:26:55,280
know.
This is a lot more than even supply a

1106
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:58,280
new vehicle for Franklin County or
whatever.

1107
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:01,920
Um
Does the jail you mentioned

1108
01:26:59,440 --> 01:27:06,680
telemedicine? Do they not have
a staff

1109
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:09,480
nurse or physician that regularly visits
or

1110
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:13,480
» It was
That had to do with somebody's leaving

1111
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:19,720
and they might need
consultation on something that to line

1112
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:26,320
them up. Do they need to go get started
on some something now and then have an

1113
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:31,400
office visit or do they need to
have more of acute care response

1114
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:33,280
particularly with mental health-related
things.

1115
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:37,520
» I got you.
They have someone that signs off all

1116
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:41,160
their medicines and stuff when they get
>> Right. I just This was the discussion

1117
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:43,560
with previously with the sheriff that
>> Okay.

1118
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:46,160
» that there was a
unmet need.

1119
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:51,040
» I got you.
I had to deal doctor for a while, so.

1120
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:56,480
» Oh, cool.
>> Does every cop car have AED in it?

1121
01:27:54,920 --> 01:28:00,160
» Yeah, there there was
a program through the

1122
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:04,160
um
Franklin County Foundation Ripley County

1123
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:07,920
Foundation where
in Christ Hospital Margaret Mary and

1124
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:11,520
contributions from our health department
and the Ripley County Health Department

1125
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:15,800
to supply law enforcement in both
counties.

1126
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,800
With AEDs.

1127
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:22,160
It's good.
>> Question for you.

1128
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,520
That building, the community building we
have in Metamora.

1129
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:28,720
» Yes.
>> I mean, we were talking about adding

1130
01:28:25,440 --> 01:28:32,360
pigtails and emergency supplies. Is all
all that where is that at?

1131
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:35,560
» Well, that's where I
things kind of got slowed down when the

1132
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:39,680
HFI funding
fell back, but I'll have to reach back

1133
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:44,720
out to
I know we were we were working with John

1134
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:49,680
Palmer and our EMA specialist
and and that's certainly something as as

1135
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:53,400
that definitely needed especially
when we need shelters for folks when

1136
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:57,680
times of
bad weather and disaster.

1137
01:28:55,440 --> 01:29:01,080
And and see where see where we're at
with that.

1138
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:05,560
» That'll still be on the list and
>> And and previously had talked about you

1139
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:09,880
could carry over a certain percent of
capital for the HFI funding and we were

1140
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:14,080
uh
up until now we were we had been working

1141
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:18,120
with banking that. So,
it would if one year's capital funds you

1142
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:23,440
couldn't really do a lot, but if you put
several years together, you could

1143
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:26,200
actually get the project completed.
So, I'll have to circle back with with

1144
01:29:25,480 --> 01:29:30,840
uh
with the county to find out if we can

1145
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:34,760
proceed as with the plans.
That will help considerably.

1146
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:38,840
» I I feel like when we were talking about
the snowstorms and we're talking about

1147
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:43,840
disaster preparedness that there was
sort of a there's a different entity

1148
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:51,360
within the county that also helps with
that. Or what is our scope of support as

1149
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:56,520
the health board in disaster management?
>> Oh, that's actually that's actually one

1150
01:29:52,920 --> 01:30:01,080
of our KPIs when HFI was was started is
to be involved with

1151
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:04,240
um disaster response.
Um there was things that we did with the

1152
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:08,160
EMA.
Um I know they got some

1153
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:12,120
crates and things because when there's
disaster

1154
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:15,080
you have to think of the pets, too. And
then what do you do with the pets? You

1155
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:20,440
can't let them run free or add to the
cat problem. Um

1156
01:30:17,480 --> 01:30:26,200
but uh yeah, we we've worked with
with the EMA director on a number of on

1157
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:30,000
a number of uh projects.
When they when they had the flooding, we

1158
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:36,120
were we were working hand in hand with
EMA and the other rescue folks from

1159
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:36,120
around that came in to help.

1160
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:40,240
» Are we the primary

1161
01:30:40,440 --> 01:30:47,440
support for that? Or I just feel like if
if I don't understand our scope in the I

1162
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:52,400
understand I totally understand how
disaster

1163
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:54,680
im- or impacts health. So, are we 100%
responsible for that? Cuz I don't think

1164
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:56,480
we have
>> We're a partner.

1165
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:59,800
» We're a partner with
>> We're a partner with the Yeah, there's

1166
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:04,160
funds come from a lot of different
sources. Uh

1167
01:31:01,480 --> 01:31:10,640
EMA, from us, from FEMA, uh there's a
whole litany of of groups. Um

1168
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:14,360
that Homeland Security Security is
another one that funding comes for

1169
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:19,520
disaster response.
Um

1170
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:24,040
I I can tell you there was um
special funding grants in Ripley County

1171
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:29,080
when they had that drowning
a few years ago um at Versailles State

1172
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:32,560
Park Lake.
And there was some special equipment

1173
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:35,480
that was obtained.
And that's shared with by a number of

1174
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,200
different counties. And that that came
from

1175
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:42,160
combining resources from several
sources.

1176
01:31:40,480 --> 01:31:46,160
» And maybe I was looking about when we
had the snow storms, there was

1177
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:52,000
discussion about the sort of an action
plan, like um

1178
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:55,640
who determines those plans, like for
this for the county? Do you guys

1179
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:58,760
remember talking about that? Cuz it was
the previous uh

1180
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:01,480
disaster
>> The EMA director is takes the lead on

1181
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:03,080
that.
>> Okay.

1182
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:06,280
» And we would we would
>> EMA being the American Medical

1183
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:09,760
Association, Amy who?
>> No, EMA.

1184
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:12,520
» Oh, okay. Okay. EMA. I was like, why has
the American Medical Association

1185
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:16,760
involved in this situation?
>> actually they actually do something with

1186
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:20,360
disaster, especially the EMA Foundation.
>> Oh, okay.

1187
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:25,080
» They do have a response um capability.
>> So, when we have a disaster,

1188
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:28,280
we being Franklin County, who do we
call?

1189
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:33,880
» Well, um
we would everything kind of starts

1190
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:38,200
becoming together, so the EMA director,
uh health department, um county

1191
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:42,160
commissioners are involved, EMS is
involved,

1192
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:46,080
um there's a whole there's a group that
that works together and

1193
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:50,320
um they they're when you watch them in
in action, they're pretty impressive.

1194
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:03,960
» I had a question for Lisa. What about uh
using

1195
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:07,600
or trying to secure some of these funds
to help you with your wind record

1196
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:11,920
program?
Put in data. Like you'd get temporary

1197
01:33:10,480 --> 01:33:15,440
personnel
add data to the system.

1198
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:22,960
» I think that there's more important
things to use that funding towards.

1199
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:25,080
Um this is something that I can use to
fill in some downtime.

1200
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:28,760
» Perfect.
>> Um

1201
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:32,160
if it gets to the point where it I feel
like I'm not getting anything done, then

1202
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:34,680
we can revisit that, but I really think
these funds need to be used towards

1203
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:39,400
» Quick note.
>> more important things in the county.

1204
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:43,640
» I heard there was a gap there, so I
thought may as well ask.

1205
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:48,280
What uh
next steps then? We we're going to look

1206
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:53,040
at generating a task force.
Would that be the smart thing to do?

1207
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:57,440
And
who's going to volunteer to reach out to

1208
01:33:54,720 --> 01:34:02,200
the commissioners and board members and
open it up and try to get Brittany.

1209
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:06,280
» Thank you.
Dr. Walsh, yes.

1210
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:12,680
Um
anybody on the board specially

1211
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:12,680
interested in joining up the task force?

1212
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:20,120
I think
you you'll get some responses so from

1213
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,120
us.

1214
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:25,560
Okay.
So really we're not going to make any

1215
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:29,440
decisions on
what we just discussed, right? We're

1216
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:33,160
going to wait and do a task force and
proceed.

1217
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:33,160
Is that

1218
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:39,960
Sounds good to me.
Are we done with the

1219
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,960
HFI funding?

1220
01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:43,560
If so

1221
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:49,760
move on to the community baby shower on
July 25th.

1222
01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:51,480
The flyer is attached. I think you've
already discussed.

1223
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:55,440
» Yep.
>> Any other

1224
01:34:53,120 --> 01:35:00,880
ideas on that? I think it's great ideas
so.

1225
01:34:57,480 --> 01:35:04,360
Okay. Dr. Weaver from the Indiana
Department of Health is visiting

1226
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:09,160
Franklin and Ripley County on August
21st

1227
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:12,800
in Batesville.
>> It'll be at the library.

1228
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:14,360
» You think it'll be at the Batesville
library?

1229
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:19,120
» No, it'll be at the library. I I
actually arranged for meeting to be at

1230
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:22,440
the hospital the new hospital but folks
the state had already reached out to

1231
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:27,760
somebody and at and the library's got a
nice

1232
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:30,280
it's got a nice facility to
to meet at.

1233
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:35,440
» Well, um
will you be able to send out a notice to

1234
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:38,960
what time and and exactly is it going to
be in the

1235
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:43,560
» I can send out a separate email
that just has that with the time, date,

1236
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:45,840
location and everything so everyone gets
it.

1237
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:56,680
» So then last time we were she was here
it very helpful for some board members

1238
01:35:54,640 --> 01:36:02,280
to be there and
I mean, she really spews out a lot of

1239
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:06,360
information. They they take
everything's

1240
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:11,120
data-driven and they collect a lot of
data from all these programs that we do

1241
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:14,280
and they
churn it and throw it right back at you

1242
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:17,400
and compare you to all the other
counties in

1243
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:22,560
in the state, so
you're either number one or 92. I think

1244
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:28,720
we had some good scores and some
that could be improved last time, but uh

1245
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:32,080
I look forward to that. Any
questions or issues? So, anybody that

1246
01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:35,520
can attend, that would be
>> What was the date again?

1247
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:38,600
» April August 21st.
>> Oh, August 21st.

1248
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:41,200
» Great uh
Okay.

1249
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,200
» All right.

1250
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:49,800
» Okay.
Health Department sponsored swimming

1251
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:55,360
lessons
for 2026 and provided water safety bags

1252
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:57,800
to each participant, 100 this year.
So, that's Is it done? That was the

1253
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:01,440
number?
>> Yeah, I kind of mentioned that with my

1254
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:04,480
report, but those lessons are going on
this week and next week.

1255
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:08,800
» That was a excellent.
>> Yeah.

1256
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:13,360
» And then the 4-H Fair handwashing sinks?
>> Yeah, we used our H5N1 grant funds that

1257
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:15,200
we got at the beginning of 2025 to
purchase

1258
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:20,000
uh
handwashing sinks, stations, whatever

1259
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:23,160
you would like to call them, um and
decontamination mats to put outside of

1260
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:26,960
the poultry
um

1261
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:31,200
barn at the fair for this year. So, we
we talked to Purdue Extension and asked

1262
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:36,280
them we told them we have this funding
and it's to help prevent any potential

1263
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:39,280
spread of disease from birds,
essentially. Um and they thought that

1264
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:43,600
was the best way to use some of those
funds, so we purchased those and they

1265
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:48,600
helped set them all up at the fair and
they got to use this year.

1266
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:52,440
» Very well done. Good.
Um

1267
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:56,520
I've got one to add. Um you sent out an
email, Brittany, you sent out an email

1268
01:37:54,080 --> 01:38:00,120
about these
septic rules being updated, right?

1269
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:03,240
Who was that?
That was you. I'm sorry, Lisa.

1270
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:06,240
Uh
so the

1271
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:11,200
septic and I know earlier we've we've
got a food rule update from the state

1272
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:13,160
that's in progress. So both those rules
are coming through.

1273
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:16,440
I don't know
>> Well, I think the food is in place.

1274
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:20,560
Didn't that go into effect in April,
Dave?

1275
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:20,560
The new food rule?

1276
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:25,840
» Food rule?
>> The new food code. It went into

1277
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:28,360
effective in April.
Okay.

1278
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:34,040
I think it was this past April. Um and
then the septic is up at the state right

1279
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:37,520
now. They're it's going through
legislation right now.

1280
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:41,080
» through another
public hearing and then probably

1281
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:48,240
adoption. So I I don't know if Tim, are
you up on those and any

1282
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:48,240
issues with the state or do you think

1283
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:54,560
» information
Uh actually for a new

1284
01:38:52,480 --> 01:38:54,560
um

1285
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:59,360
um
ordinance, aren't we?

1286
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:02,600
And that's
>> Yeah, that's that's what he was asking

1287
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:07,040
about. So when I got the information
from Alice Quinn that where they were at

1288
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:10,680
on it, I just forwarded that information
to the board members so that they would

1289
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:13,000
understand where they were at with that
new rule.

1290
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,720
So
>> Nothing new.

1291
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:19,960
» I don't have anything new other than
outside of that. Alice is really good

1292
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:24,440
about keeping us updated on that.
And letting us know where we're at.

1293
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:30,000
» And Dan Mossburger, you know, who I deal
with with state a lot.

1294
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:32,520
He helps us a lot.
Um

1295
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:35,320
» So they're going to be passed in the
next

1296
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:39,160
two quarters anyway, right?
>> I think so.

1297
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:42,960
» Probably. So do we I'm I'm just throwing
this out. Do we need to get our

1298
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:48,000
attorney, Jean Stewart, uh
involved in updating our

1299
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:51,080
food and septic regulations to adopt
these.

1300
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:56,240
» I think that's all we need to do is just
make a motion to adopt.

1301
01:39:53,440 --> 01:40:00,560
I mean, it's a state rule, so
we just probably need to rescind our old

1302
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:04,800
ordinances and and just going forward
using the state rule.

1303
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:08,360
So, yeah, I think reaching out to him
and finding out what

1304
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:10,600
ducks need to be in a row for that.
>> Okay.

1305
01:40:09,440 --> 01:40:13,440
That'll be the way to go this way to go
cuz

1306
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:17,120
we've already been through all the
public hearings and

1307
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:20,960
adoptions. Okay.
Any other new business?

1308
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:31,360
All right.
Next quarterly meeting scheduled for

1309
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:35,840
October 20th at 5:30 p.m. right here.
So, if that's it, then I'll

1310
01:40:37,204 --> 01:40:43,640
» [clears throat]
>> look for a motion to adjourn.

1311
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:46,680
» I make a motion to adjourn.
>> A motion's been made to adjourn. Is

1312
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:50,280
there a second?
>> Second.

1313
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:52,400
» Motion's made and seconded to adjourn.
All in favor, say I.

1314
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:57,320
» I.
>> I.

1315
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:57,320
Thank you, everybody. Great meeting.
