MOTION by Commissioner Madison to approve the August Releases
and Refunds.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
REQUESTS PROM IRMHU QQWU HE&= 12MRTUM: Janet
Blaufuss, Iredell Co. Health Dept. Nursing Director, explained
these two requests, and stated there would not be any additional
costs to the County. Both requests were approved by the board of
health on September 9, 1993.
$@quest 01• Preventive Health - The health staff is proposing
for an eight-month period beginning in November that they reduce
the time of two nurses by request of the nurses. This will give
the health dept. a savings of about $8,300. They would then
utilize some additional grant funds and hire a half-time nurse who
would devote his/her sole activities to immunizations. The State
Health Director earlier this year declared that the low levels of
pre-school immunizations to vaccine preventable diseases is in
crisis proportions in North Carolina. The N.C. Div. on Aging as
well as the State Health Dept. has targeted Iredell County for an
intensive immunization project called "Every Child by Two." The
health department will be working with local agencies in getting an
intergenerational effort to have immunizations throughout the
County. The health staff feels that by having a nurse that solely
does immunizations it will enhance their efforts.
MOTION by Commissioner Madison to approve this request and
record it as Budget Amendment #11.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
Susan Blumenstein explained that this will be an amendment
because she will recognize additional revenue ($4,670 in grant
money). This will not take any county money.
Request i' 2 - Home Health/Staffing Revisions Reauest: The
health department did not anticipate the extent of growth they have
seen this year. The month of August 1993 has been the busiest
since this dept. began operation. They saw a 116% increase in
admissions from last fiscal year for the two month comparative
period. It will become necessary to look at additional staff in
the near future. Again no money will be needed for this staffing
revision and Blaufuss emphasized that home health has always
generated "gains" for the County. They are currently requesting to
incr se a social worker posit,_„ from two days a week tr half
