  2. Approval of Minutes – June7, 2007 meeting. Motion by L. Struhar, seconded by M. Zabkowicz: approved as written.  All voted “aye”; motion carried.
  3. Correspondence – “Thank You” was received from J. Price. 
  4. Health Officer’s Report –   Reviewed June & July Report (Attachment 1).  Dr. D’Amico’s Term expired in July and M. Zabkowicz’ will expire in September.  M. Zabkowicz informed the Board that he would like to step down when his term expires.  J. Price has informed Mayor Bolender the status of these two positions.
  5. Sanitarian Update – J. Price reported that she has been monitoring D. Cammilleri’s (Sanitarian) workload; as promised, if their would be some down time, which is the case at this point in time, she would explore other ideas.  The entire Environmental Program is not at full capacity yet and this position is still evolving.  However, there has been discussion between Franklin and Oak Creek related to the possibility of sharing another day with Franklin.  Franklin may become an “agent” and could use more sanitarian hours.  If Franklin does increase their hours in 2008, some of the public health functions planned to give Dave will be put back into nursing (animal bites).  
  6. City Sanitarian Report – D. Cammilleri, RS shared his report for March-July 2007. (See Attachment).  All of the inspections are completed except for the schools, which are not in session at this time.  Dave explained that he rushed to get all of the inspections done due to the timeframe with the liquor licenses.  The next inspections will be more in-depth.
