1. The minutes of the January 22, 1997,meeting were approved.
2. Dave Dopp sent a letter of resignation from the Board of Health. He has been a very loyal and
valuable member of our Board, and we are sorry to have him leave. Dave works and lives a
great distance from Elk Grove Village and finds it difficult to make our meetings. He felt his
position would be better filled by someone that could give it more time than he is able to do
because of his time constraints.
3. Coordinator's Report
Tobacco Ordinance
The Tobacco Ordinance was passed at the January 14, 1997, Village Board Meeting. The
Police Department will be enforcing the Ordinance including the"sting"operation.
Immunization Clinic
96 children were given 178 shots at the January clinic. Future clinics should be heavier
because all fifth graders will be required to receive the Hepatitis B series.
Immunization records will be logged in the computer so eventually, we will feed into Cook
County Department Of Public Health's network.
Household Hazardous Waste Day
April 19, 1997, is the date selected by the Environmental Protection Agency for the Household
Hazardous Waste Day and will be held from 8 - 3 p.m. at the old NIKE Base in Arlington
Heights. Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, Elk Grove Village and the Water Reclamation
District are cooperating on this project.

6. Animal Ordinance
Proposed changes of the Animal Control Ordinance was discussed by the Board of Health and
staff.
1. Change definition of Animal:
6-5-2 Definitions:
Animal: Every living creatttre,domestic or wild,other than a human being.
2. Add new definition:
6-5-3 Certain Animals Prohibited.
Poisonous Animals: No person shall keep or permit to be kept on his premises any
poisonous animal, insect spider.
3. Add new section:
6-5-4 Number of Animals
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or harbor more than four(4)of any type or
combination of animals over the age of four (4) months within the Village except as
may be provided herein.
B. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep more than six(6)birds within the Village.
C. The limitations of this section shall not apply to fish.
D. The limitations of this section shall not apply to property established and zoned as
veterinary hospitals, pet shops, kennels or commercial breeders.
Because of the addition of this new section subsequent sections would need to change section
numbers, i.e. 6-5-4 - DOG AND CAT LICENSES: would change to 6-5-5 DOG AND CAT
LICENSES:
Animal control ordinances from a number of surrounding communities were reviewed, and
used as a basis for our proposed ordinance changes.
Mr. DePalma moved to approve changes and additions to the Animal Control Ordinance. Dr.
Kelly seconded the motion. It was passed unanimously.
