| 1 | | Board of Health Item | c. Discussion of future Board of Health agenda items
Director Browning suggested several topics for discussion at future board meetings. Browning has been in contact with Mark Johnson at the University of Missouri who heads the SewerShed Surveillance Project. Johnson has expressed interest in meeting with the Board of Health. Browning also expressed interest in touring the emergency preparedness facility. Szewczyk said he would be interested in refugees and immigrants arriving in Boone County and how they interact with local public health services including what resources are available. Members of the board said they would be interested in going to the water treatment facility. Browning said the state of Missouri is working on a foundational public health system model that would be required for all Missouri health departments. The goal is to make sure that every person is getting what they deserve from their health department. It would also provide more resources for smaller health departments. |

| 1 | | Board of Health Item | a. Director's Report - Stephanie Browning
Browning said PHHS is currently working on budgeting and planning for the next six to eight months. The commission on the opioid settlement funds plans to meet with several board members to discuss best practices for spending the opioid settlement funds. PHHS held an opioid town hall meeting to discuss overdoses in Boone County. Naloxone was also distributed at the town hall meeting. Browning said that legislation is being worked through the general assembly that would void any laws or codes at the local or municipal level regarding tobacco or tobacco products. This would include local laws requiring that a person be 21 years old to purchase tobacco products. Szewczyk noted that throughout the country local Tobacco 21 legislation has been effective at limiting access by minors to tobacco products. |
