I Old Business A. Update of Health Impaired Elderly Search - Pat McHale and Nancy Yiannias will be meeting with Brenda Anderson of Alexian Brothers Medical Center.Home Care to determine what the home care needs of hospital patients over 60 that are released from ABMC. We need to find other sources of information on health and home care needs of the elderly in Elk Grove Village. _ A report was sent from Cook County Area Agency on Aging. Statistics on mean family income of seniors seemed to be totally.inaccurate. Dave Dopp will compare these figures to 1980 census data and bring that information to the February meeting. B. Alternative Education Program - 1. Parent "Party" Brochure. The Village Board feels that projects coming out of the Village should be financed by us. They do not watrt us to solicit funds from outside organizations. Monies to cover this project have been requested in the 1985-86 budget. Pat McHale said she would talk to Mr. Zettek regarding obtaining money before the end of this fiscal year to cover printing expenses for the "Party Brochure". 2. the Task Force meeting on substance abuse met in November. The group recognized that there is a problem of substance abuse in teenagers. Many programs are currently in effect, however, there seems to be a need for a parent action group. The Task Force will meet again and will include parents of teens. What is needed is a parent action oriented group at the local level. C. 1353 Cumberland Circle East - The owners are still under court order to renovate the home. They will hopefully continue under such order until renovation is completed. The Village Attorney has offered a settlement that will encourage the owners to more- quickly renovate. Minutes - Board -,f Health January 8, 198: - • page 2 D. Commercial Building Maintenance Code - he Health, Fire and Building Departments met to review the existing structure codes from BOCA and Oak Park - BOCA's Code was preferred by all three departments. Residences are covered by the APHA Code. The Village Attorney was consulted about any potential conflicts if the APHA Housing Code was maintained and BOCA was used for other existing structures. He said he saw no .legal problems with the 2 codes since they covered two different types of structures. The departments will meet again to discuss this. The Board of Health feels very strongly about maintaining the APHA Code for Housing. The code has- been working well and since the Health Department is enforcing it, they prefer using APHA for housing code enforcement. E. Living Will The Board reviewed several sample "Living Wills": The one preferred by all was the one in the State Act. The Village Attorney felt it was inappropriate for the Village to promote the Living Will. He said he placed it in the category of "practicing" law. The Board of Health, however, felt that since a sample document is written in the act, that it would only be reiterating what was already a State Act. The Village will be consulted again, to see if he still feels that same about the situation. He may not have been aware that the document was included in the act. F. Day Care Cter .Ordinance en - Pat McHale and Nancy Yiannias are working on a Day Care Ordinance. Pat was advised by her director that it would be wiser to adopt the DCFS Code. With a few adendums, rather than make a number of basic changes. This would eliminate confusion .by the Day Care staffs. The ordinance will be ready for review by the Board of Health at the February meeting. II Routine Reports A. Coordinator's Report The December 6th Imm nization Clinic was very slow. Because of the shortage of DPT vaccine, the Health Department did not actively promote the clinic. ABMC is purchasing DPT- so our clinics will have the vaccine available. Hopefully, DPT will .be available from the State by spring.
