I Old Business
A. Community Impact Study of Seniors
The Board discussed how to approach the impact study. Their
final decision was to ask Mr. Ted Kauf from the University
of 'Arizona in Tucson to a meeting with representatives of
governmental agencies (Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, Roselle
plus Elk Grove and Schaumburg Townships) . Discussion at this
meeting. would revolve around the purpose of the study and
what would be needed financially to complete such a study.
Hopefully the agencies would agree to make a financial
committment to the study. Other agencies would be included
in the Task Force group at a later time (Alexian Brothers
Medical Center, Elk Grove/Schaumburg 'Mental Health Center,
Elk Grove Village and Schaumburg Park Districts and the
Area Agency on Aging).
A letter will be sent out to the governmental agencies
initially from Pat McHale, to invite them to the first
meeting.
B. Congregate Senior Housing Proposed Licensing Ordinance
The Plan Commission's final draft has been forwarded to
administration, the attorney and staff for comments, before
it is forwarded to JPZ and other Board Members for their
final review.
I
The Board of Health would like to know administration, legal
and staff responses to the document so they can have the
information before the JPZ meeting. The Board of Health
would like representation at the JPZ meeting discussing .
this ordinance. Hopefully these materials will be passed
on to the Board of Health.

` May 6,. 1986
a representative from Crusade of Mercy to discuss concerns
for low cost primary health care in the Northwest Suburbs.
Several groups needing such health care are: young single
parents, 55 to 65 year group that are unemployed or
underemployed and seniors having inadequate supplemental
. health insurance policies.
All of these groups have trouble accessing adequate
primary health care. It is also difficult for green card
holders to find physicians that will accept the card. The
group would like some money to collect data to prove there
is a need in the Northwest Suburban area. If this group
is large enough, a low cost primary medical care program
might be feasible.
The group that met have been asked to go to Springfield
on May 27th to discuss this.problem with governmental
officials and legislations.
D'. Proposed Tanning Booth Ordinance
Dr. Labinsky asked about the Tanning Booth Ordinance.
The Board of Health feels strongly that the Booths should
be regulated locally, because of the potential danger to
the public. .
The ordinance will- be resubmitted .to the Village Manager
with additional data showing the danger the booth can be
to the public's health and why they should be regulated.
