<br />C" <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />If <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Bob Herrera <br /> <br />DATE: 4/3/84 <br /> <br />FROM: Mary Davis <br />SUBJECT: Public Health Officer <br /> <br />One of the City Councilmen, Mr. B. Don Skelton, has called <br />inquiring about the upcof!\ing appointment of a"Pub1ic Health <br />Officer. Specifically, Mr. Skelton wanted to know what duties <br />and responsibilities this position entails. <br /> <br />I first looked through the City Charter and found no information <br />regarding this position. I then located Ordinance No. ,517 (see <br />attached), which gives some information as to what would be, in <br />part, the duties of a Public Health Officer. <br /> <br />The Ordinance states that the 'Director of Public Health' shall <br />inspect, or designate an inspector to inspect, all places of <br />business and persons wherin foodstuffs or drinks for human beings <br />are produced, handled, prepared, cared for or sold, and all <br />vehicles used in connection with such businesses, and for the <br />inspection of the conduct of hotel and lodging houses. <br /> <br />The Public Health Officer may issue, deny, or suspend permits, <br />health certificates, certificates ~f freedom from TB; he may set <br />provisions for sanitary standards, disposal of health hazards, <br />and pest control. <br /> <br />Although I have not yet located additional material, I feel <br />that it would be reasonable to assume that a Public Health Officer <br />would also serve in the event of a local or area disaster, to <br />(") <br />, oversee ~s~~s~ control and quarantine, health hazard disposal <br />and local health programs. <br /> <br />I hope this serves to clarify the duties of this appointment. <br />Please advise if you wish additional information. <br /> <br />//?cuy" <br /> <br />v~ <br />
