2025 Board of Health Work Plan (SR 24-029; Nicole Thomsen)

Division:
Office of the Director / Nicole Thomsen, Public Affairs & Policy Manager 

Background

Each year the Board of Health (BOH) develops a work plan. The intent of this plan isn't to be prescriptive but to determine sufficient topical detail for the Board to plan and inform prioritization of topics.

 

2024 had many successes and work plan items completed. By the numbers:

  • 5 ordinances adopted
  • 15 presentations
  • 2 proclamations
  • 1 resolution
  • 1 retreat
  • 1 board leadership conference

 

Looking forward to 2025, a draft work plan (Exhibit A) was drafted based on conversations with health department leadership to understand their needs and anticipated requests for the coming year and initial review by BOH officers.

 

Emphasis of the coming year is to continue getting the Board of Health code updated and building out board procedures.
