Randall M. Durant, R.S.
Gretchen Gephart, D.O.N.
Joseph Fischnaller, M.D.
Gael Stuart, Administrator
Chairman B. G. Brown called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m.
with all members in attendance.
Approval of the Minutes:
meeting were approved as written on
seconded by Commissioner Pitts.
The minutes of the November 16, 1983
the motion of Commissioner O'Meara,
Barker's Country Store; Holding tank request: Gael Stuart read
the letter Dr. Fischnaller sent to the Barker's November 17, 1983 regard-
ing the massive failure of the drainfields which serve the store and a
rental house. Since this is an emergency situation involving a business
that has been in existence for 50 years, Dr, Fischnaller advised the
Barker's that a holding tank could be installed. (See Attachment #1)
Randy Durant then updated the report noting that the Barker's have sub-
mitted a proposal for a holding tank, which he is presently reviewing.
Their proposal calls for a steel tank which the Health Department would
like to either have be treated steel or have a concrete tank.
After discussion of the fee amount for the inspections required by the
installation of a holding tank, Commissioner O'Meara moved to charge $30
per year to cover the administrative costs for monitoring this holding
tank. This fee level is to be reviewed annually. Commissioner Pitts
seconded the mOtion. Unanimous.
Budget Transfers: Gael Stuart explained the need for the
budget transters he will be requesting, and advised the Board that the
formal request will be submitted as soon as the billing is received
from Clallam County for the West End services they provide.
City of Port Townsend re; Request for representation on the Board
of Health: When the City ot Port Townsend agreed to pay tor Health Depart-
ment services they asked to have representation on the Mealth Board.
Health Board, Minutes December 21, 1983
Page 2:
Gael Stuart advised that as a "Health Department" another municipal
corporation can not have voting representation on the Board of Health. A
"Health District" would allow for voting representation by the City, but
is a different type of political entity. His recommendation would be to
have the City represented by an "ex officio" member of the Board through
a "Gentlemen's Agreement" with the City.
The Board directed Gael to explore both possibilities, check the RCW's,
check with the City and County attorneys, and then set up a meeting with
the Board and the City.
Reorganization of the Board of Health: This will be taken care
of at the tirst meeting in January.
Contracts: Since the information is not available at this time,
the contracts tor the Physical Therapist, Speech Therapist, Administrator
and for West End Service will be presented at the next meeting.
NURSING DIRECTOR REPORT: Gretchen Gephart reported that on
January 1, 1'11$4 the new "Child Restraints in Motor Vehicles" law will
become effective, which requires children less than five years old to be
properly secured while driving and children less than one year to be
in an approved infant safety seat. (See Attachment #2).
This law will have an impact on the WIC (Women, Infant & Children) food
supplement program because the recipients will not be able to afford an
infant seat and they are required to bring their babies to the Health
Department for an examination before they are allowed on the program.
In an effort to aid these women in complying with the law, the Health
Department is trying to establish an Infant Auto Seat Loan Program. Gretchen
has sent letters to approxmiately 30 community organizations requesting
donationsof money or a car seat to help get the program started. These
car seats will be loaned to the families to use and return when they no
longer have a need for the seat.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIRECTOR REPORT: Randy Durant reported
that November was a busy month, but some catch up \;7ork was accomplished:in the
food program, due to an Environmental Health Specialist being hired. He mted that
fees for tneUIirst eleven montns are upfrorn what was ariiticipatedat
the beginning of the year. (See Attachment #3).

high points of November:
Dr. Fischnaller and Randy attended a workshop at Port Ludlow
that included an overview of the new State Board of Health
Regulations for On Site Sewage Disposal.
In January of 1983 the Sewage Ordinance was amended to allow for
the expiration of sewage disposal permits. A 30 day grace period
is being given this year since this is a new procedure. Permits
issued in 1982 or 1983 are renewable.

The Board will consider setting
Administrator Report: The actual revenues are up over what
was estimated as late as October, partly due to increases in activity
in the environmental health section and partly due to an increase in
the activities in all other areas. He is now estimating a $14,000
surplus at the end of 1983.
The next regular meeting of the Board of Health will be

Mr. and Mrs. Barker
Barker's Country Store
P.O. Box 31
Port Ludlow WA 98365
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Barker:
Re: Failing and surfacing sewage disposal systems, Barker's Country Store
and house, Port Ludlow--Section 4, Township 28, Range I East
After our meeting today and based on our observation of the property
(soil logs and other site conditions), I must concur with you that a
holding tank appears to be the only option which would allow for a
continuous method of sewage disposal for the existing store until a more
acceptable means of disposal might be found. This, in our opinion, is an
emergency situation.
You indicated you will proceed with developing a specific proposal for use
of a holding tank for our review. We hope this can be accomplished before
the end of the year when your 1983 food service establishment permit expires.
We also agree with you that the rental house tank be filled with dirt and
to divert all the surface water you can away from your total property.
