Employee Wellness Program
The Health Coordinator brought the Board up to date on the activities being planned by the
Wellness Committee. A "Wellness Walk" is scheduled for Friday, October 20, 2000. The walk
will end at the Town Center fountain where healthy snacks and drinks will be served. In
December, a lecture on depression is scheduled to be presented by Kenneth Young Staff.
Flu Clinics
The fall flu clinics will commence on October 30, 2000. Because of the shortage (non-existence
of vaccine in the surrounding communities), the Health Department is looking at a number of
options. Restricting the vaccine to 65 years and older, restricting them to Elk Grove residents
only, or raising prices to match surrounding communities (prices for vaccine have risen from
$4.85 to $6.31 per dose). Dr. Harold Labinsky made a motion, seconded by Merrill Froney to
limit the flu vaccine to Elk Grove residents only. It was passed by unanimous vote. The Health
Department will contact the Police Department for crowd control if required.
Non-Compliant Restaurant
The non-compliant restaurant has hired a consultant to train their employees in proper food
handling procedures. The Health Department will conduct inspections to check for
improvements.
Blood Drive
A blood drive will be held on November 0. It is being held one week late because of"Make a
Difference Day". The Board suggests more signage be placed out on the day of the blood drive.

Boston.
