DISCUSSION

Dr. Fazen asked for the floor. He urged the Board to adopt programs to address problems such as smoking, children starting to smoke and obesity. He said that in conversation with public health colleagues he has heard the view expressed that the public health infrastructure is in shambles at the State and local level.

Dr. Fazen moved to open the nomination for Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Clerk. There was no second to his motion.

He reintroduced the issue of meeting times, reasserting his aversion to daytime meetings.
During these discussions, Mrs. Brefka suggested meeting once a month, unless issues arise that need immediate attention. She indicated this meeting schedule had been discussed and agreed upon at the last meeting. The Chairman would call a meeting as needed. The Board could alternate monthly meetings one month during the day and the next month at night. It was decided to reconsider our meeting schedule at the September 15th meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

Respectfully submitted by Barbara M. Luther as dictated by Paul C. Pisinski and Timothy P. Stone.
