The attached ordinance changes the size of the Board of Health from 5 to 7 members. This change comes at the request of the Chair. The Village’s BOH is smaller than many surrounding communities’ Boards. The expansion would also allow a broader input to the Village on issues of public health. The attached ordinance also eliminates an ex-officio member that hasn’t been used for many years.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that an Ordinance Amending Section 6-203 of the Municipal Code, pertaining to the Board of Health, be approved.
