and the committee made its recommendation. The meeting was then
opened by Dr. Nemer who had several items to which he wanted the
committee to listen and give their full support. _ . . _ _
Regular-CQunc-il_Mee_ting"ta
1. There would be no purchases made over $50 unless they have Ii
been reviewed and okayed by the Director. Purchases less than
! $50 must have an emergency purchase order filled out completely,
and signed by the department head. For any items greater thanl!
$50 the blanket purchase order will be used.
2. The committee reviewed and okayed the reimbursement requisi-
tion form which is to refinance any of the personnel for monies,
which they have personally spent for Health Department
expenses . This reimbursement requisition will be filled out l
and initialed by the Director of Health only upon receipt of a
receipt that this money was spent for said use. These will be ��
turned in monthly, and the proper personnel will receive their !
check from the fiscal officer.
There were four important items brought up by the director to
11which the committee as a whole gave their full support:
i1. There should be one account under the director' s name at the
surplus supply through the Department of Education. At the
present we have two--one account should be stopped immediately,,!
, 2. All newspaper ads and television releases should be okayed by
the director of the department first. All notices to appear
in court will be reviewed by the director and discussed before
they are sent to the respective person. There shall be no con
tracting for services or legal newspaper notices sent without j
first discussion and review by the director of the department. )
These last four items the committee were 100 per cent in agreement `
with, and any infractions to these rules will be dealth with by the
Health Committee. �
IMr. Walthers brought up the discussion on pigeon control, and the
!committee went on record as recommending to the director that he
icontact the other state, county, and local officials to see what
} their stand is at this particular time on pigeon control. The
!committee went on record saying that if all of the separate organi-
zations will participate both monetarily and yearly the city could
) consider the same type of participation after the approval of the �+
=council as a whole.
�� i
,'Irhe director discussed with the committee several items which will
appear in the upcoming budget.
� f
I�The director stresses that the Health Department is in a renaissanc '
period and hopes that the Health Committee and the council will bea
with it through its reorganization. It takes time to pull loose j
ends together, but in time it should be a smooth, well-documented I
department.
Dr. Nemer stated that he would appreciate any criticisms of the
Health Department to be directed to himself, and he would attempt
to correct these areas .
The director stated that the needs of the department are great' and
that with the help of the council and the good business minds of the
financial committee that the department can gain and strengthen
itself yearly. There being no further questions or discussion, the
