Vice Chairman Frissell seconded the motion, which carried by a unanimous vote. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Vice Chairman Frissell moved to approve the minutes of August 19, 2004 as written. Member Buhler seconded the motion, which carried by a unanimous vote. PUBLIC COMMENT - None OLD BUSINESS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 2004 West Nile Virus Activitv: Dr. Tom Locke reported that while Washington is shown on the map as the only state without human or avian, animal or mosquito inflections, it is likely there were inflections in mosquitoes or birds, but there was just no evidence to report, Board of Health Member Westerman's Report from Croatia: Member Westerman reported on her recent trip to Croatia, She attended with Dave Robison ofthe Northwest Maritime Center, who was participating in this coastal community exchange organized by the D,S, Association of City HEALTH BOARD MINUTES - October 21,2004 Page: 2 Managers and funded through the USAID, The desire is to move Croatia from socialist to a capitalist system and also from resource to tourist-based and service industries all while preserving their heritage, She talked about the war between the Serbs and Croatians, the reconstruction, and preservation of culture, The meetings she attended involved primarily city officials, planners, architects, so she was not able to gain an understanding oftheir healthcare system, Their officials will also visit here at some point. Correspondence with Department of Health and Human Services Secretary: Julia Danskin reported that at the request of Chairman Titterness, she had submitted a letter request and invoice to Dennis Braddock of the Department of Social and Health Services for funding ofthe Nurse Family Partnership, Mr, Braddock responded that it was unusual to get an invoice without a contract and that they could not respond to it directly, They were optimistic that they could respond before December with some commitment to make funding available for 2005, Chairman Titterness said he had also shared Mr, Braddock's response with Government and Community Relations Director Sherry McNamara, saying it was not the commitment the County thought was in place, Noting that only half of the State money the program receives comes through the Department of Social and Health Services, Jean Baldwin said we are walking a fme line but added that Staff appreciates the Commissioners' support, Julia Danskin said she has since had better responses on problems with other DSHS contracts, There has been a reduction of funding in one contract. 2005 Jefferson Health and Human Services Budltet: Vice Chairman Frissell explained that she asked this item to be on the agenda because of her concerns about recent decreases in the preliminary budget target for 2005 from $459K to $420K. She spoke at a County Commissioner's budget hearing, reiterating her concern about the Health Department's eroding budget. She asked for clarification behind this change, Jean Baldwin noted that the Department submitted a cost-based budget plus 2%, which required taking 15% cuts in a number of places, When they received the preliminary balanced budget, they had a base of $417K, so it was not "cost plus 2%," She explained the importance of keeping a base budget because it is what is seen when she seeks outside grants, Ifthere is a fix in federal and/or state public health funding, these agencies look at the County general fund base for the percentage of what should be reimbursed, She expressed concern about the difference in the way this budget is packaged, Even though external costs such as rent and computer support fluctuate, the transfer needs to remain steady, Commissioner Huntingford said his understanding was that the negative impact to the base was due to a reduction in rent for space that the Department could no longer afford, Veronica Morris-Nakano explained that even though the department moved in mid-year, they paid a full year of rent and did not get a full year of funding, Discussion then ensued as to why the Health Department did not receive a base budget plus 2%, similar to other departments, It did not appear that the base decreased because the Department's building rent decreased, In an effort to fix the problem, Commissioner Huntingford asked Jean Baldwin to contact County Administrator John Fischbach, Julia Danskin also commented that because state and federal grants have been level while expenses continue to increase, two FTEs have been cut. Any decrease in county general fund is just devastating, HEALTH BOARD MINUTES - October 21,2004 Page: 3 Referring to County Commissioner Resolution #34-04, Member Buhler spoke about the strategic budget goal of "investing in community infrastructure that encourages economic opportunities," Many people decide to move to this community based on the quality of services, so without services the tax base would not grow, Member Masci suggested that to go back to a 1994 base is grossly inequitable, He suggested working to ensure the base remains stable even ifit means shifting from other funds, Agreeing with Member Buhler, he pointed out that healthcare makes up 24% ofthe Gross County Product. He claimed that the Commissioners do not recognize healthcare as an industry because of the Department's unique funding and he believes there should be further consideration of creating a health district. Chairman Titterness then asked if there would be an advantage to approaching Clallam or Kitsap counties about establishing a health district? Jean Baldwin explained some ofthe networking that has already occurred, She believes there could be some gains and possibly more changes in health departments and health districts in the near future, Commissioner Rodgers commented that it would be a serious mistake not to recognize the economic engine that produces the revenue that supports health and other services, There would be a direct impact to the Health Department between the creation of a sewer system in the Tri Area and the ability of the Health Department to operate it. Commissioner Huntingford recognized the desire by citizens in Port Ludlow to have their medical needs met in Jefferson County, Member Westerman, noting that citizens had listed Law and Justice as their top priority, said she believes Department programs have the potential to reduce Law and Justice expenditures, She believes this should be a strong consideration, She could not accept going back to a 1994 base, Commissioner Huntingford said he believes this situation occurred because the County is reducing the amount of rent being paid and taking it out of the budget. The same amount exists for services, Chairman Titterness said he appreciates the perspectives and stressed that all departments are part of an integrated system that must work together. The Commissioners urged Jean Baldwin to contact the County Administrator to continue this discussion, Influenza Vaccine Shortal!e: Dr. Locke said that while he would not call this a crisis, responding to the vaccine shortage is consuming a fair amount of resources, Shortages in 8 ofthe 12 major vaccines used to immunize children have also increased in frequency over the last five years, No other countries are having a breakdown in their vaccine production system, The more immediate issue is that even under the more stringent criteria, roughly 95 million Americans would qualify and yet there are only 55 million doses, About 9,000 people in Jefferson County would fall within the high-risk category for the roughly 6,000 doses, Most distribution points received their full order from another manufacturer, Adventis, He acknowledged the public concern about the lack of availability of the vaccine from Chiron Corporation and repeated that it has been disruptive to health departments that are very involved in influenza vaccine programs, HEALTH BOARD MINUTES - October 21,2004 Page: 4 Julia Danskin and Jean Baldwin confirmed that the Department has been answering a lot of calls and been providing information, This shortage has greatly impacted Jefferson Healthcare's system, which had taken over distributing flu shots last year, The Hospital and Department coordinated press releases to ensure a consistent message. Dr. Locke then reviewed the preventive efforts that need to be in place during the flu season for infection control (programs such as Cover your Cough and Clean your Hands), Vaccinations prevent the number of hospitalizations and deaths but also prevent person-to-person transmission, Despite the shortage of vaccine, there are plenty of anti-viral medications, which will be used more this year than in the past to reduce the severity ofthe illness, Because the vaccine contains antigens to three different strains of influenza that are predicted to be in circulation, it must be constituted each year, If it were not obsolete, it would have a shelflife of several years, While it appears that last year's vaccine was similar to this year's, he believes those stockpiles have already been destroyed, Chairman Tittemess suggested that Dr. Locke take to the State Department of Health a revision of national policy regarding preservation ofthe previous year's supply until the next year's supply is confirmed, Dr. Locke indicated that this year, there would likely not be any stockpile, but he believes this crisis would push the creation of a different system for influenza vaccine production, Commissioner Rodgers asked if this year's vaccinations have lingering value in subsequent years, to which Dr. Locke said it wears off for most people in 3-6 months, although in some its effect can persist for 18 months, Member Westerman asked about the manufacturing problems, which Dr. Locke described as a 50- year old process that is very susceptible to contamination and technical problems, In addition, the profit margin on the flu vaccine is not nearly as high as on other drugs, Jean Baldwin reminded that respiratory etiquette is the best line of prevention, along with encouraging others to stay home when they are sick. Julia Danskin commended the hospital on their great response to this situation, She noted that Department and Hospital Staff are currently planning for a potential pandemic flu outbreak, Jefferson County Prevention Princinles and Stratel!ic Tobacco Prevention and Control Plan: Kellie Ragan reported on the collaborative efforts to produce a Jefferson County prevention plan, She reviewed a draft version of a brochure, the primary aspects of which are the prevention philosophy and prevention checklist. She talked about the meetings she and Beth Wilmart ofthe Jefferson County Community Network hosted over the summer, where they solicited input from the review team, She requested the Board of Health's support and endorsement to proceed with finalizing the prevention principles and rolling out this program in November. They would also be seeking other endorsements, The next step would be to coordinate the Healthy Jefferson Open Houses to take the more philosophical statements and turn them into achievable and measurable outcomes, Jean Baldwin noted that as citizens offer community leaders ideas for programs or visions, they could use the prevention checklist as an "acid test" of sorts, It would hopefully allow for more focused discussion on which programs to fund and whether continuing programs are meeting these HEALTH BOARD MINUTES - October 21,2004 Page: 5 needs, Member Masci moved to endorse the draft Jefferson County Prevention Principles. The motion was seconded for discussion. Member Buhler expressed interest in including the Hospital District and Kellie Ragan urged her to present this to the Hospital Commissioners for review, The motion carried by a unanimous vote. Kellie Ragan then distributed a written update on the Jefferson County Tobacco Prevention and Control 2004 Strategic Planning Process, which listed the statewide and local goals, Last year's plan was based on the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) and Healthy Youth survey data, The focus was to support activities that would prevent the initiation of smoking, After reviewing some of the specific activities, she distributed a press release from the State Department of Health reflecting a 12% decrease in smoking since the program began four years ago, Some of the local data has showed that 60% ofthe former smokers have quit within the last year, However, there was not an age or education breakdown, She described emerging themes - cessation, prevention and secondhand smoke, Member Westerman suggested developing a universal and friendly non-smoking "share the air" sign that could be available throughout the community, Kellie Ragan acknowledged the role of the local restaurant community in eliminating smoking in restaurants and said we are, overall, a healthy community, Kellie Ragan finished by saying that while she has been reporting to the Healthy Youth Coalition, the strategic plan is not limited to youth, After the first of the year, she will likely return to the Board of Health for reporting and advice, Draft DeDutv Health Officer Resolution: Dr. Locke reviewed the cross-county coverage aspect of the regional emergency preparedness program, There was support for appointing deputy health officers who, while serving on a voluntary basis, could act with the full legal authority of a position actually appointed by the local Board of Health, Scott Lindquist, MD and Frank James, MD of San Juan County are interested in serving in this capacity; Dr, Locke would be appointed in their county, Clallam acted on this matter this week. Staff would prepare a final document for signature by the entire Board, Commissioner Huntingford moved to adopt the draft resolution appointing Dr. Scott Lindquist and Dr. Frank James as Deputy Health Officers for Jefferson County, with minor typographical corrections where appropriate to say Jefferson County. The motion was seconded and carried by a unanimous vote. 2005 Environmental Health Performance Measures: Linda Atkins of Environmental Health was present to review the 2005 performance measures report, She noted that efforts over the years have made the indicators more meaningful and representative of the work actually done, There has been a substantial increase in complaint investigations, The on-site sewage program number is a mid-year actual rather than an estimate, Regarding the drinking water program, she noted that the number of wells abandoned increased from 7 to 31 due to a slight difference in how they were counted, New well inspections are going down, The County is required to inspect 100% of abandoned wells, and 40% of wells overall so the Department is well above the required amount. She agreed to try to HEALTH BOARD MINUTES - October 21,2004 Page: 6 clarify this requirement in the report, Toward the mission of ensuring residents have access to good quality drinking water, Member Buhler asked about creating a program that would require the testing of the well at the time of sale, Ms, Atkins said that while this service is available, it is not mandatory and she does not believe the Department has this authority to require buyers and sellers to sample water prior to sale, Chairman Titterness suggested that Staff identify a clear goal and possible funding sources before the Board discusses the merits, Jean Baldwin reported that the State Food Code is changing and would become effective in May, This would likely affect the number of required inspections under the Food Program, Staff noted that while the Department currently charges fees for this work, it might consider a fee increase based on different levels of service, In the next month or two, Environmental Health Staff would be giving a briefing on the new requirements and how they would impact the local program, Linda Atkins said an update of the State On-site Sewage Code would likely be approved in the spring, Commissioner Huntingford asked if it offers options for alternative systems or just sets a minimum land area? Dr, Locke reported that the draft rule is not yet released but asked Linda Atkins to provide a written summary to the Board when the draft is available, ACTIVITY UPDATE/OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS - None AGENDA PLANNING/ ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 p,m, The next meeting will be on November 18, 2004 at 2:30 p,m, in the Conference Room of the Jefferson County Health Department.
