Mavis Brehm then gave a presentation on the services of the West Side Community Health Services. Following the presentation, the committee toured the facility. Mary Peick presented information on Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) services that are provided at West Side. She passed out information indicating the growth of WIC services over the past five years and the number of children receiving WIC services who are considered overweight or at risk of being overweight. Rob Fulton then provided information on the county's financial support of safety net health services. The county provides funds to community clinics and Regions Hospital totaling $3,164,000. These funds assure that uninsured, low-income Ramsey County residents can receive sliding fee scale or free services for health care problems. Mavis Brehm then reviewed issues of community clinics that provided over$3.2M in uncompensated care. She reviewed the Federally Qualified Health Center program that supports West Side and Open Cities clinics in the county. She noted that challenges include marketing to the commercial market, balancing revenues among federal, state, and county, moving to electronic medical records, and continuing to provide prevention services. Rob Fulton distributed the Section Updates, articles on pertussis in adults, particle air pollution, and materials on the "fresh air" campaign on the smoke free restaurants. He also noted that legislation on state wide smoke free restaurants was not proceeding well in the state legislation. The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 pm. *AAA • H.amley County Saint PauC- Ramsey County Department of Public Health Section 'Updates - March 2005. MEDICAL DIRECTOR REPORT There has been a lot of activity with the tuberculosis issue and Hmong refugees. Of the cases reported occurring after arrival in the United States,most have been in California. According to Zachary Taylor,MD, Chief of the Field Services and Evaluation Branch, Division of Tuberculosis Elimination at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of March 11, 2005,there have been 36 cases of active tuberculosis reported among the newly arrived Hmong refugees nationwide. Ten have been in children less than 4 years of age, seven in children 5-15 years of age, and 19 in adults 15 years or older. Seven cases occurred in persons classified as free of active TB for immigration purposes. Four of the cases have been identified as multi-drug resistant. Even though Minnesota has received more recent Hmong refugees than any other state, we have not had many TB cases in this group. So far Ramsey County has the only two cases,one adult and one child. Neither has organisms that are drug-resistant. On March 17,I participated on a panel of four experts gathered by the Minnesota Department of Health to discuss the tuberculosis situation with the Hmong refugees and how it is affecting local health departments. Among the 75 people attending,there was good representation from our Department. Patty Seflow made comments about how and when to refer patients to the TB Clinic here. During March I hosted a physician from the Occupational Medicine Residency at Regions Hospital,Dr. Ismail Nabeel. As part of his preventive medicine and public health rotation,he observed programs and participated in clinics for three days a week. He got involved with activities at the Minnesota Institute of Public Health in Mounds View in the area of tobacco and alcohol use and abuse prevention. Dr.Nabeel is also participating in a project about pesticides and prevention of adverse health effects in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota. He is in the last of three years of the residency and plans to focus his career on prevention of cancer. On March 10,Cynthia Kenyon from the Minnesota Department of Health and I made a presentation about pertussis to a group of nurse managers of college health services in the metropolitan area. It was at the invitation of Barb Bester who manages the health service at Hamline University. On March 11,I gave a talk to the primary care physicians at United Hospital at their monthly staff meeting. The invitation was extended by Dr. Dick Shank. It was especially enjoyable because Dick and I worked closely 30 years ago as medical residents at Hennepin County Medical Center. 1 I continue to make presentations to volunteers in the Medical Reserve Corps. The meetings are facilitated by Sharon Borg and Barb Nelson. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SECTION Yard Waste Program/Policy and Planning ■ The County Board on March 15 approved relocation of the White Bear Township yard waste site to a new location about 800 feet north of the current site,but still within Ramsey County open space. The current site is not fully usable and is built on poor soils. In addition,it abuts North Oaks property slated for residential development. This is one of four of the County's seven yard waste sites where,beginning in 2004,residential tree and shrub waste is being accepted, in addition to leaves and grass clippings. However, the White Bear Town Board does not allow tree and shrub waste to be chipped on site because of North Oaks concerns expressed last year,necessitating higher costs for moving loose tree and shrub waste off site. The new site offered by the County Parks Dept. is larger,has better soils,and is better screened. The North Oaks Company supports relocating the site and will contribute some in-kind earthmoving services and tree planting. The North Oaks Company and the neighbors who complained last year are both supportive of moving the site and allowing wood grinding on site. The Environmental Health Section is now proceeding to work with the County Public Works and Parks depts. on designing and permitting the site. • The County Board on March 15 took preliminary action to authorize opening of three yard waste sites one weekend a month next winter,to accommodate residents who prune trees and shrubs in winter(late winter is the best time for most trees),while also providing an outlet for holiday/Christmas trees. • Weather permitting,the yard waste sites will open for the season starting Monday,March 28(same hours as previous years). HEALTHY COMMUNITIES SECTION New Contract with Minnesota Department of Health Beginning in March,the Minnesota Department of Health(MDH)will contract with our department for.5 FTE of Grit Youngquist's time.The arrangement will last for 1 year. Grit will continue to-office with HCS in the West Building and will spend.5 FTE on on-going assignments in adolescent health promotion. For MDH, she will work on a new Centers for Disease Control& Prevention(CDC)funded grant focused on sexual violence prevention. She joins with three other contractors who will spend the next year as a project team. They will work to create/improve infrastructure across the state to help make it possible for local communities to better address issues of sexual violence,particularly prevention.Grit's focus will be on teen pregnancy/healthy youth development and how it intersects with sexual violence prevention.Two of the contractors will focus on male leadership development; and the fourth person's work will focus on health systems: clinics,hospitals and public health.It is anticipated that the team will work on education/awareness raising,local leadership development and some policy/systems changes. Amy Okaya is coordinating the project at MDH. Amy works in MDH's Injury and Violence Prevention Unit in the Center for Health Promotion. Amy may be familiar to some SPRCDPH staff for her violence prevention work a number of years ago when she shared PH office space in 2 the West Building. The other three contractors include: Pat Koppa of Public Health Consultants (based in the West Metro area). Pat will focus on Public Health/Health Care.Male Leadership Development work will be shared by Chuck Derry of the Gender Violence Institute(based in Clearwater),and Frank Jewell/Jason Bell of Men as Peacemakers (based in Duluth). Updates will be provided as the work progresses through the year. Trainings and Brown Bag Lunches offered for"Who Will I Become?" "Kuv Yuav Peem Tsheej Ua Tug Tuabneeg Zoo Le Caag?" Since the summer of 2004,the city of Saint Paul and Ramsey County have become home to several thousand new Hmong residents. "Who Will I Become?" "Kuv Yuav Peem Tsheej Ua Tug Tuabneeg Zoo Le Caag?" is a video that provides unique opportunities to understanding Hmong refugees and for engaging workplaces/groups with educationally stimulating conversations. There will be numerous happenings surrounding"Who Will I Become?" "Kuv Yuav Peem Tsheej Ua Tug Tuabneeg Zoo Le Caag?" in 2005. There will be a training in May along with a minimum of 4 brown bag lunch sessions in different Ramsey County locations. VHS and DVDs(with detailed discussion guides)are available for those who are interested in utilizing this as a training resource for their office.For further information,contact Mai Moua at(651)266- 2509. Donald Gault Presents at the Centers for Disease Control Donald Gault was invited to and presented at a national Centers for Disease Control training on primary prevention of domestic violence in Atlanta on February 28th. The trainings provided background on the creation and evaluation of The Initiative for Violence-Free Families and Communities in Ramsey County,with a focus on the Workplace Action Team's efforts over the past 15 years establishing violence-free,respectful work environments and addressing domestic violence in the workplace. The Initiative is seen as a model by the CDC for primary prevention of family, community and workplace violence, and it is encouraging communities and states across the nation to consider using both the model and tools created by The Initiative in their efforts to prevent violence. Minnesota Cross Walk Law Enhancement Bill Healthy Communities has been concerned that there is much confusion and non-compliance of the Pedestrian Cross Walk law exhibited by increased number of deaths since the current law has been enacted. At this time pedestrians don't seem to know when to cross the street and drivers don't know if it's safe to stop for pedestrians. With approval from the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, Senate file 1144 and House File 1153 were introduced. SF 1144 was heard in the Transportation Committee and passed onto the Finance Committee. HF 1153 has not been heard in a committee as yet. The proposal is to develop a special fund for statewide education and enforcement of the present law, as these components seem to be lacking at this time. If this legislation passes, we hope that Minnesota will be safer for pedestrians and motor vehicles alike on the roads they share. WIC SECTION • We are busy recruiting,interviewing, and hiring in anticipation of upcoming staff turnover. Annetta Madsen will start med school this summer,Heather Nicholson will enter Augsburg's Physician Assistant Program this spring,and Anna McGovern will be starting a combined masters in nursing and Latin American Studies in New Mexico this fall. Two other staff members are currently in the process of applying for med school and grad school. 3 • Colly Huberty's grant proposal was funded and our WIC program will be one of three in MN to launch"WIC Peer Support Pilot Grant Projects." Colly will be working closely with the American Indian Family Center's doulas in the implementation of this grant. • We are waiting to see if General Mills will be funding Blia Vang's grant proposal for"Tot Gym Time" at the McDonough Community Center. This collaborative project with WIC, Head Start, and McDonough Housing will promote physical activity and better eating for WIC children at McDonough. • Kathy Duffy is working with the St. Paul Farmers'Market to see if a satellite Farmers' Market can be offered for a few hours each Thursday during the summer at the WIC clinic located on the East Side of St.Paul. It looks likely,and we are delighted that WIC participants at our East Side WIC clinic will be able to use their WIC-issued Farmers'Market coupons in the parking lot of the WIC clinic. 4 APR-01-2005 09: 17 RAMSEY COUNTY MRNRGER 651 266 8039 P.02/02 MEETING NOTICE BOARD OF RAMSEY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 15 W.

Planning Administrator's Announcements Larry Soderholm reported on City Council business for this week. Mr. Soderholm called attention to the newly updated Comprehensive Plan that was handed out today. He, along with all of the Commissioners, applauded Penny Simison for her hard work getting this updated and printed. Larry Soderholm stated the next two Thursdays the city staff will be holding in-house neighborhood planning workshops. Because so many neighborhood plans are being updated this year, the staff decided to arrange an opportunity for interdepartmental staff to come together and share what they are seeing as neighborhood issues so that those issues can be presented to the various neighborhood groups that are updating plans. IV. Zoning Committee Commissioner Morton gave the Zoning Committee report. NEW BUSINESS #05-065-090 TCF Bank- Site plan review for a new 4,000 square foot bank building with drive- thru teller windows. 459 North Lexington Parkway,between University and Central. (Tom Beach, 651/266-9086) Commissioner Morton stated District 13 (Lexington-Hamline)is opposed. Two people spoke in support. Four people spoke in opposition. The public hearing was closed. The Zoning Committee recommends approval of 2-story plan on a vote of 6-1(Faricy). MOTION: Commissioner Morton moved the Zoning Committee's recommendation to approve the site plan review. Commissioner Zimmer Lonetti spoke in favor of the plan, saying she serves on the Lexington Park Design Advisory Group, and the neighbors want it to be 2-story for more density. Commissioner Alton stated the nature of the opposition to the TCF proposal was based on a claim that this development is not"TOD enough." He voted in favor of the application because he didn't find that argument persuasive. Commissioner Alton stated the plan intentionally left this property zoned B3, and it says the TOD principles should apply if the market supports it. This is a statement of goals,it is not a hard and fast rule. He said the Planning Commission should approve this. At the question of Commissioner Goodlow,Commissioner Alton stated that Commissioner Fancy's opposition was related to the notion that we really ought to be focused on hard and fast rules for TOD on University Avenue,that we ought to be focused on getting rid of automobiles and advancing alternatives means of transportation,i.e.,mass transit,bicycle,pedestrian traffic. Mr. Soderholm added that another objection is that we should be seeing the whole picture for this redevelopment site,not doing it one parcel at a time. Commissioner Porter stated she has attended some of those community meetings and she remembers the issue of master planning and mixed use. The neighborhood really wanted other types of businesses to come into the neighborhood, other than a bank or a grocery store. They wanted more housing,more small retail,or upscale restaurant.

He said the citywide Comprehensive Plan and state law say that we should try to keep plans up to date every 10 years, and so the staff have gone through the long list of neighborhood plans in the city and have recommended some of these old plans to be removed,from the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the confusion about what the Comprehensive Plan is.
