Dr. Lyons reported that the Department was running smoothly, with no problems.
He also reported that Nona McNally, Sanitarian had returned to work from maternity
leave. Dr. Lyons, also .reported a few cases of gastroenteritis.
Mrs. Truesdale made the Board aware that she and Mr. Jeffers have been
working on the Sanitarian Technician position, she stated that Mr. Jeffers had
not give her a negative response. She also stated that Mr. Jeffers has asked for
some additional data which she was compiling with respect to the cost of the new
position and the possibly offsetting some of those cost with increased revenue.
She also stated that she and Mr. Jeffers had been looking at some adjustments in
the f scale charge primarily in the Environmental Health Section.
Mrs. Truesdale reported that we have collected, 12,589.71 through the end
/Of June, 1986, which is a little over $3,000.00 more than we had for all the
/last fiscal year. As of a deposit made July 29, 1986, for July we have collected
and additional $888.76. We will probably exceed our $15.000.00 projected
revenues this year.
Mro. Truesdale also informed the board that we have several new food establish-
ments opening up. Mrs. Truesdale asked Mr. Jeffers if they had council action on
the food sellers permit, Mr. Jeffers replied no, that we would work on that with the
Health permits and the grocery stores. Mr. Jeffers also stated that David Blackburn
was working on that project. Mrs. Truesdale asked if it would be in effect by the
first of the year when we permit food establishments, Mr. Jeffers said that it would.
Mrs. Truesdale also stated that we had recommended and that Mr. Jeffers has
requested some additional backup data on increasing the cost of the food permits
from $50.00 required now, to perhaps $75.00, he also asked Mrs. Truesdale for a
breakdown about time involved. Mrs. Truesdale commented that we also wanted to
look at what was fair to a convenience store as opposed to a major grocery store such
as Smith's Food or M -System. She also stated that it took much more time to inspect
the larger stores such as Smith's (at least 5 hours are spent on an inspection in a
store that size), as compared to a convenience store which normally takes about an
hour. She also stated that we have some food service establishments that differ
greatly too, such that its going to take longer to inspect the Country Club than
it would be to inspect the Burger Bar, due to the fact that there is basically more
areas to inspect.
Mrs. Truesdale feels that we can justify the Sanitation Technicin position.
,She stated that the rest of our services were busy and that there were not any
problems with any of our services or changes in any areas. She also stated
that Mrs. Nona McNally being back was a big help due to the fact that we did
get behind while she was gone..
Dr. Abercrombie asked if there was any reports from the City or County.
Dr. Abercrombie asked for excuses absences for Dr. Kit Kveton, and Lanny Voss.

There being no further business, meeting adjourned.
