Summary of Actions Taken
Tuesday, December 16, 2008
The Board of County Commissioners is the designated ex officio Board of Health for Calvert County and opened the meeting as such. Dr. David Rogers, County Health Officer, and Jim Xinis, President and CEO, Calvert Memorial Hospital, gave the latest update (2007) on the Community Health Assessment. Some of the issues captured include children and adolescent issues: including alcohol, tobacco, and drug usage, mental health, teen pregnancy, juvenile crime, and after school programs; elderly care and end-of-life issues: the elderly population has increased rapidly, which places demands on specific services including senior day care, nursing homes, and end-of-life care; recruitment and retention of healthcare providers: the lack of an adequate number of primary care physicians and specialists continues to adversely affect Calvert County; motor vehicle crashes; mental health; and obesity. The full report can be found online at the Calvert Memorial Hospital website: http://www.calverthospital.org/pdf/CalvertCountyHealthAssessment_final08_72.pdf. Dr. Rogers also reviewed the update to the Health Department’s Food Safety Program. This program has seen an increase in the number of licensed food service facilities as well as an increase in the number of food facility inspections completed. Dr. Rogers then briefly reviewed the Pandemic Flu Plan for Calvert County which can be found on the Calvert County Health Department’s website: http://www.calverthealth.org/healththreats/diseases/panplanintro.htm.

A presentation was given by Murphy & Murphy, CPA, LLC, on Calvert County’s unqualified Audit Report for FY 2008. According to the audit report, Calvert County is in excellent financial condition as reflected by the bond ratings the County has received. The main operating fund of the County - the General Fund - ended FY 2008 with a budgetary surplus of $1.97 million, mainly due to strong corporate property tax receipts, as well as expenditure savings. The increase in net assets was $12.8 million and is attributable to the surplus as well as the investment in capital assets such as the renovations to theCommunity Resources Building and the significant additional investment in the Southern Connector Road.
Reappointed Barbara Buchheister, Bonnie Burris, Marcia Monnett, and Amye Scrivener and appointed Christine Lewis Schmidt, Nancy Alexander, Phyllis A. Baker, Pearl A. Miller, and Tonya T. Jackson to the Adult Guardianship Review Board.

Adopted the amendment to the regulations concerning the make-up of the Gambling Permit Review Committee as follows: “The Committee shall include a law enforcement officer and a member of the clergy. If the latter position is not filled for any reason by a member of the clergy, it may be filled by a member of the general public.”
Approved Budget Adjustment #279 in the amount of $28,000 for the previously approved new position of Soil Conservation Plan Reviewer with the funding source being the increase in the grading permit fee.
Awarded the Tire Recycling Services contract to Emanuel Tire Co., of Baltimore, Maryland, to furnish all labor, material, equipment, and supervision necessary to collect, remove, and recycle tires from the Appeal Landfill and Fleet Maintenance.
