Health Officer-Genung Attorney--Powers Clerk-Matthews Mayor Myers welcomed Dr. Sutton to the meeting as President of the' -Tompkins County Tuberculosis Association and explained that the meeting had been called to consider two matters of importance ; first, the proposal to move the City Health office to quarters in the Library Building, and second, to consider the desirability of requiring all milk to be pasturized, in view ' of the recent serious outbreak of scarlet fever in the Village of Owego caused by the consumption of raw milk. At the request of the Mayor, Mrs. Bostwick, as Chairman of the Special Committee investigating the Library Building quarters, made a report regarding the investigation that had been made which indicated that it would be to the best interest of the City to move the Health office to the new quarters. He pointed out that the Tuberculosis Association might approve or disapprove of such a move and suggested that Dr. Sutton report their position in the matter. Dr. Sutton reported that they had taken no definite action because they had received as yet no definite roposition.

Motion carried. Raw The Board then took up consideration of the problem of Milk requiring all milk sold in the City to be pasteurized as a Pastuer- precaution against an outbreak such as is now being suffered i zed. by the; Village of Owego where it was reported there are some 400 families under quaantine due to an epidemic of scarlet fever which was traced to raw milk. , By Commissioner McCormick : seconded by Commissioner Carey: RESOLUD,that it is the opinion of this Board that they wish to consider an amendment to the Health Code in relation to the sale of milk,which would make it compulsory to pasteurize all milk sold in the City and , RESOLVED further that the City Attorney be requested to prepare such an amendment for consideration of the Board at its neat regular meeting.

Dr.' Hauenstein reported that three samples of raw milk examined in Decer#ber 1936 showed evidenee of streptoecii germs, all of which proved to be -of human origin. RAW MITA-:- Comm. Patterson recommedded that the Board adopt a rule requ ringThe pasteurization of all milk sold in the City of Ithaca, suggesting that mdlk dealers be given until March 1, 1937 to comply with such a rule. Attorney Powers read a proposed amendment to the rule of the Board of Health, prepared as requested at the last meeting. He pointed out however that under the Boaardts rules, no action Mould be taken thereon at this meeting due to the lack of full membership. The matter was therefore laid on the table until the next regular meeting, February 9, 1937• Attorney Powers reported that the rules at the B96wd of Health were badly in need of revision, not having been revieod since 1910.

He stated that suoh a unit may be established by a resolution of the Boa.rc of Supervisors, which automatically abolished all local torn and viliag health boards. Cities within a county become a part of the county unit only upon consent of the Mayor and Common Council thereof and may with. drat' therefrom within three years anEl reestablish their oft Board of Health. All expenses of a county unit are a county charge, reimbursable in part by the State. A county health unit, if established, would consist of seven members, three at least to be chosen from the medical profession, paid ,on a per diem basis, and a. County Health Commissioner paid on a full time basis who would act as health officer. Comm. Carey stated tUat such an arrangement would be entirely against the interests of the city with the exception of the money-saving factor. Both Mayor Ryers and Comm. Patterson expressed the opinion that it would be ill--advised to join a county unit until such time as the city acquires more representatives on the Board of Supervisors. Cowmi Bostwick expressed her approval of such a unit, stating that health problems of the city and county have become very closely united and could be better administered from one source. No final action was taken on the matter. 9 -2- ���.P.A. NURSE:- Comm.

No further action was taken. 00UPLA - The Clerk reported that he had received a complaint from a res ent~ of South Meadow Street., vfha stated. that outside toilet facilities are still- being used at 517 South.

May 21, 1937 PRESENT-- Mayor-Myers Commissioners--Bostwiok,Patterson,Carey,MoOormiok,Livermore,Parker Health Officer-Genung Direct or-Hauenst ein Inspeotor-Baker Mayor Myers welcomed about 30 persons, representative of the Board' of Education, the Board of Supervisors, the County T.B. Association, the County Health Committee, the District State Health Office, the County Medical Association, the Coroner, Town Health Officer, etc. , all of whom were invited to participate in a discussion of what' should be the general policy regarding the administration of public health in the City and the County. At the Mayor's request, Dr. VanVolkenburgh, District State Health Officer, acted as Chairman of the meeting. Dr. VanVolkenburgh outlined the problems confronting the City, regarding the appointment of a part time Health Officer and a part time school physician ft:,as an alternative the appointment of a full time official to handle both positions. He pointed out that it was felt that this was an opportune time to make a decision ea�.to whether or not the County Health Unit plan should be' adopted. He stated that at one time he had thought such a set-up was advisable but from experience and observation had changed his own mind and was convinced that the present split-up with a District State' Heath office here was much to be preferred. At his suggestion there was a general discussion of the advantages and disadvantages_ of the County Health plan. It developed that the general sentiment of the meeting was opposed to the County Health Unit. 'It was then moved by Commissioner Livermore, seconded and carried, that it is the sense of this group that we do not recommend to the Supervisors or to the Common Council the adoption of the County Unit plan at this time; such recommendation being made without prejudice to .aotion in the future. Dr. VanVolkenburgh stated that he was very much pleased to have that question decided so decisively by such a large group of persons, all of whom are so keenly interested in public health in the County. He suggested that this group might well indicate its opinion for the benefit of the Board of Health and Board of Education of the City, f with respect to its' feeling in the matter of the appointment of a part time or full time health officer and school physician. He stated that in his opinion it is better to have one individual in charge of all health work both in the school and in the home in any community. A general discussion of this topio soon developed the fact that the group as a whole felt the same as did Dr. VanVolkenburgh. Having reached this decision all persons except member of the Board of Health and the Board of Education retired from the meeting and representatives of these two boards further considered the matter among themselves. After some discussion it was mutually agreed that one person should be selected to handle both jobs and that he should give half his time to the schools and half his time to the city. Representatives of the Board of Education pointed out that such an appointee could not be expected to do all the school work but would be expected to supervise and be responsible for it and have charge of any other physician who might be engaged to supplement the work in the schools. It was, moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the combined salary for both jobs should be fixed at #5, 200 with no allowance for ailagge or other personal expenses and that the new appointee shall be required to operate the usual health clinic including the venereal clinic and such other clinics as the Board of Health might direct. It was further agreed that the 8ohool Board and the Board of Health each pay one half the salary. It was also agreed that such appointee could not not engage in any private practice and must meet the qualifications setforth in the respective State laws applicable to such appointment. In this connection It was agreed that the meeting adjourn to reconvene at the Board of Education office to further consider the details in connection with the selection and appointment of such an official.
