Health for tj Mo. , Dept. of Health; Dr. Nemer, City Health Officer; Mrs. Akre andl her council heads. I 1. Mr. Hager stated that the purpose of the meeting was to review the proposed Cole County - Jefferson City Health Department, and to ,, see if this Committee desires to make a recommendation to the ( Council at its , next meeting. He then asked Dr. -Handler to review the background so that all 11would know what has transpired in the past. Comments were as 11 follows : This effort started in early 1970, due to the -retirement of a City Health worker some money was assigned to the County to secure iisome help from-the -County Health Nurse. A Cole County Health Advisory Committee was also organized in order to provide a - "planning group" to foster better County and City health services. This group has diligently studied the matter and concludes that in general the County was providing personal health service whereas the City was providing environmental health seryice.� Also certain !state sanitation and inspection programs are carried out in the too. V 971 City but not in the County. 3 . It was their recommendation that a combined City-County Health Department be organized to provide a coordination of services. It was also expected that state funding of certain services might be used- if the personnel and program could qualify. Chairman Hager called on Mr. Joe Reichart, Assistant Director of Health Services, Missouri Department of Health, who explained their program of local cooperation and support. Mr. Reichart explained: Missouri� State Department of Health contracts with local levels of government to provide money and standards to insure high quality health service to the public . They are now contracting with the County Court and would prefer to continue to do so' if the City- County Health Unit is formed. They could provide 27% of the cost of many services if the personnel and program met their standards. It was his suggestion that the City contract with the County for Committee health :service and that a Joint program and budget be set up. of the The meeting then turned to dollar discussion. Whole A budget of $55, 900 was -mentioned by Dr. Handler with 27% Report. coming from the State. Since this budget provided only for services that were 'sharable" with the State it was assumed that other 'anon-sharable" services would be kept in a .separate package. This brougtt lip the problem of Who would administer the program and what would be the responsibility of each level of government"? Following a discussion of different areas of responsibility and the dollar involved - - A motion was made, seconded and passed, that the Committee of the Whole favor proceeding to implement a City-County Health Program. We believe that a unified authority to handle the entire health service roggram could be set up and that budgets and work assignments cou d be no coordinated that it would be acceptable to the City, State and County.
