All members were present when the meeting came to order.
MINUTES: Commissioner Pitts seconded Commissioner O'Meara's motion to
approve the minutes for the meeting of June 15, 1983. Unanimous.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT; MARY TUDOR: Gael Stuart explained that the
~tate tunas the Child Health Development Program by direct reimbursement,
and the State sets ,the salary for the services of the Nurse Consultant.
The State raised the salary, necessitating that Ms. Tudor's contract be
rewrit':en to reflect the raise. Commissioner Pitts moved to approve and
sign the new contract. Commissioner O'Meara seconded the motion. Unanimous.
(Attachment 1)
RABIES REPORT: Randy Durant reported that the head of the raccoon which bit
an individUal last month was sent to the lab, and the raccoon was not rabid.
(The individual was able to recognize the raccoon because it is one-eyed,
and he has been feeding it for two years.)
Also this month, a bat was found to have rabies. This is the first known
case inth~ County in twelve years. A dog which may have been bitten by
the bat;W1!:.si destroyed. The lab reports that approximately ten percent of
bats te$'tredactually have rabies. .
BUDGETl;>ROJECTION AND. REVENUE SOURCES: Mr. Stuart presented a projected
budgettotl9154(Attachment 2) which also included information on two
possible sources of additional revenue.
Although the County has not previously charged the school districts for
serv~ces in the sC::'1001s, it is legal to do so, and such charges are made
in many Qther counties. The Port Townsend School District Superintendant
has indicated, in casual conversation, a willingness to pay for services,
although no specific discussion followed. Health Department staff feel
that it will be necessary to tap this source of income and that, if this
is to b& done, the school districts should be notified as soon as possible,
since their fiscal year begins in October and budgets are prepared well
ahead of that. If they are notified now, payment to the Health Department
could be included in the 1984-85 budgets, with the first payment due by
December 31, 1984.
Health Board, July 20, 1983

By statute, cities are required to have a Health Officer, although the
County Health Officer may serve the city, with the city reimbursing the
county on a percentage basis. SB3490 (Attachment 3) provides a mechanism
for determining appropriate contributions by cities. The County chose not
to charge the City of Port Townsend for the services of the Health Officer
until and unless it became necessary. It now appears necessary. Mr. Stuart
projects that the City's contribution, per SB3490, would be $31,000 to
$32,000 per year.
Commissioner Pitts seconded Commissioner O'Meara's motion to notify the
school districts and the City that the County will be charging for Health
Department services as specified. Unanimous. The Board will take care of
notification and negotiation, with the Health Department staff providing
assistance and computations.
PERSONNEL NEEDS; Environmental Health: Mr. Stuart reported that, due to
several tactors, John Hayes, the 3/~ time Environmental Health Specialist,
will likely terminate his contract soon. When this happens, the following
factors must be considered:
1. The Environmental Health work load is such that a part-time position is
not adequate. Work load requires at least one Specialist in addition to
Mr. Durant.
2. The elimination of site evaluations and extension of the permit period
would decrease the work load, possibly allowing Mr. Durant and one
full time Specialist to perform duties in a reasonably timely manner.
3. It is important to hire an experienced person in order to minimize the
training required. Since other counties pay a salary 15-20 percent
higher than Jefferson County, it will be difficult to compete for the
services of someone competent and experienced. If the Specialist
salary is raised to be competitive, it would be higher than the salaries
of other professionals (i.e., nurses) on the staff.
4. The current salary for a fulltime Specialist position is $15,900 plus
27 percent benefits. We are now paying $14,000 for a 3/5 position.
Following discussion, and on the motion by Commissioner Pitts, seconded by
Commissioner O'Meara and unanimously passed, it was determined that a
second fulltime Environmental Health Specialist position will be added,
eliminating the part-time position, with John Hayes being offered the full-
time position and, if he refuses, the job to be advertised as soon as
possible.
DELAYS IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES: Realtor Stan Johnston voiced
complaints about the length ot time involved in getting site evaluations
and/or septic permit approval, septic and water permit denials, and the
uncertainty of site evaluations. In response to Dr. Fischnaller, he
supported the elimination of site evaluations. It was noted that in order
to obtain a septic permit, the location of the proposed structure must be
known, and in cases where buyers/owners do not intend to build immediately,
the location of the proposed structure may not be determined.

Mr. Johnston was informed that the Board and the Health Department are trying
to solve the problems.
NURSING DIRECTOR REPORT: Phyllis Bee presented a statistical report for the
month ot June, 1~~3 (Attachment 4).
Applications for grant funds are being prepared, to be submitted to the
State by October 1, 1983.
The use of pig manure in gardens has been found to have caused an outbreak
of round worm infestation. Investigation will continue, since some local
food establishments may be using local fresh produce.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIRECTOR REPORT: Mr. Durant provided the statistical
report tor June, 1~~3 (Attachment 5). An attachment, noting major
activities of the staff which are not reflected on the report, as well as
the amount of time involved, was briefly reviewed.
ADMINISTRATOR REPORT: Mr. Stuart noted that figures on the agenda
retlecting actual and budgeted expenditures and revenues for the year do
not include $6,158 received for the Home Health Program.
MEETING ADJOURNED: The next regular meeting will be on August 17, 1983.

SUBJECT:SB 3490 - HOME RULE HEALTH OFFICER
The passage of SB 3490, Home Rule Health Officer, provides county and
city-county health departments with a mechanism for determining appropriate
contribution from cities and'towns. Contributions are to be established in
accordance with guidelines e5tablished by the State Board of Health.
Board of Health guidelines currently in place for health districts (WAC
248-990) could easily be applicable to county and city-county health
departments.
Attached are some hypothetical examples of how the funding formulas could
apply to a county health department.
It is suggested that you discuss these guidelines and examples with your
county commissioners on an informal basis prior to the Health Officers
Association meeting in Yakima next week. The purpose is to assess if the
current district guidelines for basic services and city and county contribu-
tions would be acceptable in implementing SB 3490. This subject will be
, discussed at the Association meeting Friday morning in preparation for
submitting the issue to the Board of Health for action at its August
meeting.

,

To furt~r familiarize the Board as to the other major activities the Environmental
Health Section performed in June other than the total reflected under septic tank
pe~its, site evaluations, and short plats, and the time involved, I present the
following:
Inquiries. plan review, special and/or larger projects continue to increase. Most
do not generate revenue and therefore are not generally reflected in the permit
totals. Some of these which took large blocks of time were:
Approx.
Time
8 hr. Food--Hadlock days temporary food service (11 permits).
Hadlock House ownership change.
FDA contract for summer food service
8 hr. Solid Waste--Asbestos disposal, hazardous waste disposal (pesticides,
herbicides and commercial paint thinner).
West End solid waste
Solid waste comprehensive plan review
Olympic Testing Labs--followup and news media inquiries
Crown Zellerbach Solid Waste permit review (30+ contacts and 5 letters
plan review and 2~ hr. in field at Crown Zellerbach)
Dept. of Ecology dump survey.
10 hr. Schools--Port Townsend District modernization
Cornerstone Christian Academy
Seventh Day Adventist
4 hr. Animal Bites and Rabies
1 dog bite and followup
2 separate racoon bites & followup
1 chipmunk bite
1 non-human exposure from confirmed rabid bat
6 hr. Appeals and Hearings--Kala Bluffs (two sewage disposal permits, review,
letters, appeal hearing
Septic tank pumper hearing and review (preparation and followup).
4 hr. Environmental Check list review
Mats Mats Bay Port Property
Fort Worden dock
Gardiner Sawmill
8 hr. Larger system plan review
Three sewer systems for Kala Point Condos
Seventh Day Adventist Church School
McConnachie sewage disposal permit at Mats Mats
2 hr. Cotton Garden Court Apartments-Management report review
Other areas reflecting use of large blocks of time were the Shellfish PSP program,
complaints and followups.
Day to day operation of the Environmental Health Section such as scheduling,
program planning, intergovernmental coordination, quarterly and monthly coding
and review and approval of all building permits, etc. are other areas not reflected
in the revenue picture but take time. Daily inquiries related to the basic programs
of sewage, food and water also take up a major portion of time, particularly as a
sanitarian is not always available to discuss questions, etc. The time discussed
above does not include the 421 contacts by the secretarial staff and the 97 Food
Handler tests and permits given (Food Handler tests-25 hours secretarial time).
