I. The minutes from the January 21, 1998 meeting, and the joint meeting with the Personnel Committee
on March 4, 1998 were approved by unanimous vote.
2. James Christie, Chairman thanked the Board of Health members that attended the joint meeting with
the Personnel Committee on March 4, 1998.
3, Wellness Programs
Michael Cavallini presented an overview of the survey he conducted of wellness programs offered by
surrounding communities. Additional information was presented on the Village of Palatine Wellness
Program which includes a wide variety of wellness programs, as well as wellness events (health talks,
walks, lunches).
Mr. Christie stated that any wellness program must be personalized to the employees needs and
employees must be made aware of what programs are offered.
It was the consensus of the Board of Health to recommend that a health risk assessment first be
conducted. This assessment would be confidential and would not include screenings. It should be
conducted by an outside(neutral)party (hospital, private company). This would be followed up by an
employee survey, based on the Palatine Wellness Survey. A wellness program could then be
constructed around the assessment and survey. Richard Penley made a motion to send the
recommendations to the Personnel Committee, Dr. Charles Boyajian seconded the motion.
4. New Village Sanitarian
Jeffrey Priebe was introduced as the new Village Sanitarian. Jeffrey started with the Health
Department on March 2, 1998.
5. Animal Trap Program
Information was presented on the current animal trap policy. Restrictions by the State and County
were discussed. The Health Department will continue its present program.
