BOH reviews sharps-disposal guidance and school immunization audit status; next meeting set pending budget timeline
Summary
Jones County Public Health reported sharps may be placed in a hard, sealed container labeled 'sharps' for disposal per sanitation companies, and that school immunization audits are generally in order; the board will set the December meeting date after consulting the Auditor.
Brad Knudson of Jones County Public Health told the board that sanitation companies he contacted indicated sharps may be disposed of in household garbage if placed in a hard, sealed container clearly labeled "sharps." He framed this as guidance he received from sanitation providers; the board did not adopt a new county disposal ordinance at this meeting.
Knudson also said most schools are organized for immunization audits and that he has assisted some schools lacking an on‑site nurse to gather required records. The board discussed scheduling its next meeting in December pending coordination with the Auditor on the county budget timeline; Lisa Bogran will contact the Auditor and then BOH members to set the date. Connie Goldsmith moved to adjourn at 8:28 p.m.; the motion was seconded by Denny Coon and passed unanimously.
