JOINT MEETING OF VILLAGE BOARD AND BOARD OF HEALTH
SMOKING POLICY
Chairman Christie gave information on the dangers of second hand
smoke.
The recommendation made by the Board of Health is as follows:
- A 6 month phase out policy with smoking allowed only in designated
places;
- The designated places should be areas that are ventilated
independently from the buildings' central system; and
- After the phase out period, the building should be smoke
free.
The consensus of the Village Board was to discuss this recommendation
at a future Committee of the Whole Meeting.
OBJECTIVES OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Kelley Clancy discussed the study she made of the health status of the
Village. Based on this study the Board of Health recommends the
following:
- "Healthy Heart Choices" article in the Village Newsletter.
- Suggest that the library incorporates a nutrition "center" with
pamphlets and other educational materials.
- Educational nutritional materials in supermarkets.
- Joint meetings with the Park District and School Districts to
discuss common promotional programs on "a healthy lifestyle".
- Solicit health needs from residents.
The consensus of the Village Board was to allow the Board of Health to
pursue these recommendations. In addition, the Village Board requested
that the Board of Health use Channel Six to promote and broadcast their
programs.
FUTURE MEETING
The Village Board will meet with the Board of Health in the future to
discuss mutual thoughts on the vision of the Board of Health.
The joint meeting concluded at 7:40 p.m. The Board of Health was
excused for the remainder of the Committee of the Whole Meeting.
NOISE - LANDMEIER PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY
The consensus of the Committee was as follows:
- Immediately implement the "no cost" recommendations as reported by the
Public Works Director in his memo dated November 1, 1994 to reduce
noise at the facility;
- Research the relocation of the material storage areas to Dierking
Terrace;
- Look into replacing the fence that stands between the residential
properties and the facility; and
- Discuss this item at a future Committee of the Whole meeting for
inclusion in the next fiscal year budget.
PARAMEDIC STRENGTH
The consensus of the Committee was to increase the authorized strength of
paramedics. This item will be brought up under New Business on the
December 13, 1994 Village Board agenda.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
