PICKERINGTON CITY COUNCIL

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2008

CITY HALL, 100 LOCKVILLE ROAD

 

6:45 P.M.

 

PRESENTATION BY FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH

 

Mayor O’Brien opened the presentation at 6:55 P.M. with the following Council members present:  Mrs. Sanders, Mr. Fix, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sauer, Mrs. Hammond, Mr. Sabatino, Mr. Wisniewski, and Mayor O’Brien.  Others present were:  Tim Hansley, Lynda Yartin, Lynda Fersch, John Wolfe, Susan Tilgener, and others. 

 

Mrs. Fersch stated Mr. Wolfe is the Fiscal Officer for the Franklin County Board of Health and Ms Tilgener is the Franklin County Health Commissioner.  She stated Mr. Wolfe and Ms Tilgener had been invited to address Council regarding the Franklin County Board of Health. 

 

Mr. Wolfe stated the Franklin County Board of Health has a budget for 2009 of approximately $7.5 million.  He stated they receive their funding from the contract cities, townships, and villages they work with and the remainder is from fees on services and grants.  He stated their services are similar to other health departments such as food inspections, water inspections, immunization clinics, etc.  He stated he would answer any questions any council members might have. 

 

Mayor O’Brien stated we currently pay based on property evaluation and questioned how the Franklin County Board of Health charged.  Mr. Wolfe stated for cities they have a contract that is based on per capita.  He stated next year’s per capita is $5.73 per capita, and they take that figure and multiply it by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission’s data.  He stated they are currently using the 2005 Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission’s data.  He stated the annual increase is normally somewhere between two and four percent. 

 

Mr. Fix inquired who sets the rates, how often do they change, and what are they based on.  Mr. Wolfe stated the rates themselves are based on their annual operating budget.  He stated they determine what their revenue will be from fees for services, grants, etc., and whatever the deficit is is made up by actual contract costs.  Mr. Fix clarified that should Pickerington want to contract with the Franklin County Board of Health in determining the rates they would look at what the needs would be in that community.   Ms Tilgener stated they are very conservative because they do not have the ability to go back and ask for additional funding, so they know that when they start out with the budget they must be sure they are able to live with that amount. 

 

Ms Tilgener stated with regard to plumbing services, they have a fee for the plumbing permit and sixty percent of that stays with the Board of Health and forty percent stays with the contract city.  She stated this is for plumbing only.  Mr. Fix further clarified they have five health inspectors in the food service program, four in the water quality program, four in the environmental health program, two that are dedicated to the lead program, two dedicated to solid waste enforcement and one that works on special projects such as mold and other more complex environmental investigations. 

 

Mr. Smith ascertained all of the cities in Franklin County except for the City of Worthington are members of the Franklin County Board of Health.  Mr. Hansley inquired if they would have to add personnel in order to handle an additional contract city of approximately 15,000.  Ms Tilgener stated they would have to look at it to determine if additional personnel would be necessary.  Mr. Smith further clarified the majority of the immunization clinics are mobile, however, they do not offer medical services. 

 

Mayor O’Brien clarified that they would need several months notice before taking on a new contract city because it would take time to work through the details. 

 

Mrs. Fersch clarified they do provide mosquito spraying in their integrated pest management program that is part of the $5.73, however, there us a menu of options because you can do so much.  She stated different cities negotiate different parts of that program based on what their residents want. 

 

There being no further questions Mayor O’Brien thanked Mr. Wolfe and Ms Tilgener for coming to address Council.

 

The presentation closed at 7:20 P.M., November 4, 2008.
