The minutes of the January 3, 1989 Board of Health Meeting were
approved.
I . Old Business
A. Senior Impact Study
The final draft of the addendum to the Senior Impact Study
was reviewed by the Board of Health. The draft was reviewed by the
Board which made minor changes . Pat Bourke moved that the final draft
with its amendments be accepted and distributed to the Village Board.
The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
B. Recycling Program Update
Plans to initiate recycling at townhomes and quads for late
spring. Further plans will be made for a program at apartments and
condos and should be initiated in the Fall . Two grant proposals will
be submitted to the Illinois Department of Energy & Natural Resources
(February and June) . The current program is going very well with about
an 80% participation rate.
C. Budget 1989-90
The proposed Health Department Budget was $163,170 before
being revised by the Village Manager's Office. The only major change
was a request for a permanent part-time Housing/Health Inspector to
replace the summer inspector. The number of inspections has increased
substantially from last year and this increase in staff is needed. The
Board of Health will be notified of the review by the Village Board.
Dave Dopp suggested that the Health Department ask for a list of
licensing fees that require Health Department inspections . This will
be ready by the next meeting.
D. Suburban Primary Health Care Update
The agency is having a problem recruiting physicians in the
Northwest suburbs . The current contract is not acceptable to
physicians and must be altered to be more palatable. The only areas
where it has been moderately used is the North suburbs .
II. Routine Reports
A. Coordinator' s Report
The January Blood Drive generated 104 donations . The next
drive will be held on April 29th.

III . New Business
Mental Health Crisis
Dave Dopp questioned the problems the Illinois Department of
Mental Health is having about receiving federal funds. Mental patients
released from State Hospitals were placed in nursing home facilities .
These patients were supposed to be placed in the community with support
programs in place to follow up their progress . These programs were not
and still are not in place. 13,000 patients are currently in nursing
homes and must be released. The state is in violation of the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act. Judd Stone of the local mental health
center is extremely concerned about this situation because patients
will be "dumped" into the Community with no support services . He is
forming a 30-agency consortium to discuss solutions to this upcoming
problem. The Illinois Department of Mental Health is not coming up
with monies or solutions for the situation.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
