Board approves bacteria-testing policy and nitrate lab quality manual

Vernon County Public Health Board · June 10, 2026

Summary

The board adopted an annual bacteria-testing policy and approved updates to the nitrate laboratory quality manual following a state audit; motions were moved and seconded and each passed by voice vote with no roll-call tally provided.

Staff presented two laboratory-policy items to the board: an annual bacteria-testing policy (a routine administrative review) and a longer nitrate laboratory quality manual updated after a nitrate audit and state review.

During the meeting the board moved to adopt the bacteria-testing policy; one member said, "I'll make that," another seconded and the chair called for ayes. The motion carried by voice vote. Later, staff described the nitrate manual changes and noted the state had reviewed the policy; the board again approved the manual by voice vote with no changes to verbiage noted.

Staff explained the nitrate manual updates were driven by an audit and that the county had satisfied state requirements; the director said the changes were ready for implementation and that copies were available to board members.
