6. Reports

6.1 Health Commissioner University

The law office of Clemans, Nelson & Associates, Inc. gave a presentation and included information about city health departments under the Ohio Revised Code 124.40, a city health department is under the jurisdiction of the municipal Civil Service Commission.

On a side note, from another city health department that I spoke with, all of their positions are hired under their municpal Civil Service Commission, and their health commissioner is a classified position as well. 

Some departments contract with Clemans, Nelson & Associates, having them on retainer monthly.  I am currently requesting a quote on this for our department to see if we may be able to afford this in the next budget.

7.1 Discussion of Community Cancer Concerns

The Environmental Health Director and I are currently following the protocol recommended by the Ohio Department of Health; however, some of the response was initially unknown to be the direct responsibility of the local health department to investigate, collect and evaluate the information.

Update:  The long form and request for information was posted on our FaceBook page on April 23 and May 22nd; however, since those two posts, GCHD has not received any additional forms.
