MINUTES PARIS -LAMAR COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH OCTOBER 14, The Paris -Lamar County Board of Health met Wednesday, October 14, 1987 at the Holiday Inn. The meeting was called to order at 7:07 A.M. A quorum was present including Mrs. Ann Norment, Chairman, Dr. Wally Kraft, Mrs. Printis Ellis, Rev. Samuel Evans, Dr. Bill George, Dr. Bert Strom, and Dr. Tom Cutrell. The minutes from the previous meeting were reviewed and approved. Financial reports were prepared by the City of Paris accounting office and reviewed by the Board. Revenues for the month of September from the Health Department vital statistics service were $3,308.13. The Health Department received $5,000 from Lamar County, $5,333.33 from the City of Paris, $3,084.86 from the State of Texas and $435 from the State of Texas for the laboratory. The actual revenues in September, 1987 were $17,161.32 compared to the actual expense of $27,987 including the WIC program which totaled $6,326 so that the actual expense without WIC was $21,661 leaving a deficit for that month of approximately $4,000. The balance on September 30 read a deficit of $11,432 but this is offset by $10,615 in revenue from lab fees which will not show up until the October balance. $10,565 that was in a separate account and is not being placed in the Health Department account rather than the city and this brings an actual balance October 1, of $9,748 there are also revenues pending from the state. The deficit of actual expense over the actual revenues for September when averaged over the year produces a break even or balance budget. Discussion was held concerning holidays and other personnel policies. At present, city employees receive about 6 holiday days per year. The county received all of the state holidays and more and those are detailed in a list attached. In the past, the Health Department closed when- ever the county courthouse was closed. There appears to be an inequity here between city and county workers and this will be further investigated and discussed by subcommittee headed by Dr. Strom and two other people of his choice. Review of and discussion of job descriptions of the Health Unit Director and other employees was tabled at this time and will be discussed more throughly at the next
