A. Living Will update
The Health Department received a letter from the Illinois
Conference of Churches. Reverend Roy Nash will be contacting
us in the near future regarding the "Living Will Act." If we
don't hear from him soon, we will contact him.
Pat Bourke said that Father Tessler, Alexian Brothers Medical
Center Chaplain, was on a Committee at the Cardinal's Chancery
Office that will be discussing the "Living Will Act." The
Health Department will contact Father Tessler to let him know
our concern about promoting the act to the general public.
B. Health Impaired Elderly
Dave Dopp presented information from the 1980 HSA Census on
adults needing home assistance. The question of needs of the
elderly was discussed by the board.
The Health Department will gather information on unmet needs
from: the Village Fire and Police- Department; the Township
Offices; Alexian Brothers Medical Center Home Care Department
and the Park Districts Senior Center.. This information and needs
seen in other communities will be gathered and a Community Profile
report will be brought to the next Board of Health meeting.
C. Day Care Ordinance
JPZ reviewed the Day Care Ordinance and requested that it go to
the Attorney for proper language and needed revisions.

D. Substance Abuse
The "Party Flier" appeared in the Village Newsletter. The
Health Department had no feedback.' Pat McHale said that
comments she heard from parents were that they felt nothing
would have any effect unless the laws, already on the book,
(regarding parents supplying alcohol to those underage)
were enforced.
E. Commercial Maintenance
The Code will be presented to JPZ this month for their
review. It is still questionable as to which department will
administer the program.
II Routine Reports
A. Coordinator's Report
Immunization Clinic

156 Shots were given to 82 children. DPT is now available
through the State. The next clinic will be held on August 22nd.
Carroll Square
The legal work is in process and an association will be established
in the very near future.
New Housing Health Inspector -
Bob Ray, formerly with Public Works, was hired as Housing/Health
Inspector. Bob has an academic background in Community Health
and is an Elk Grove Village resident.
New Weed Cutting Policy
The Village Board has directed Public Works to cut weeds on "Cook
County roads between County's cuttings which are twice a year.
The Health Department is tightening up their grass and weed
ordinance. Residents are given 10 days to comply and, if they
don't cut, the Village will hire a landscaper to cut. their property.
This has been very effective.
