Dr. Baldwin moved that we dispense with the reading of the
minutes.
Dr. Baldwin moved that the bills be approved for payment. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Harmel. The motion carried.
Dr. Wagner informed the Board of the resignation of our
Sanitarian, Mr. Badger. He is to accept employment with the Texas
State Health Department. Dr. Wagner recommended that the staffing
pattern be changed so that Mr. Badger could be replaced with a
Registered Nurse. Mrs. Truesdale presented documentation that an
additional Registered Nurse position was needed. A question was
raised concerning the feasibility of one Sanitarian being able to
meet the responsibilities of the position. Mrs. Truesdale pointed
out that Mr. Sims had stated that he felt he could handle the
responsibility.
Dr. Busby moved that the Board approve the request to replace
the Sanitarian with a Registered Nurse if the Texas State Health
Department approved the change. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harmel.
Motion carried. Dr. Wagner will contact Dr. Board, Director,
Region 2, Texas State Health Department. If the Texas State Health
Department approves the change, letters will be written to Judge
Heck and Mayor Stoneham requesting the change.

Committee.
