After discussion of this matter, the City Engineer was authorized to male extensions in accordance with agreement adopted by the City Commission on Match 24, 1949; the City, at its own expense, agreeing to mare extension of the utilities to the. portion of the Addition on which loan committments had been completed prior to March 24, 1949. Request was received from M. S. Craig for utilities to serve Garrison Sub -division, between North 3rd Street and Walnut Street. This property being outside the City Limits, no action was taken in regard to the request. Request was received from C. M. Colson, Jr. for water and sewer utilities to serve Block 9, Maddox Addition; it being unanimously agreed that utili- ties could be extended to this property in accordance with agreement adopted March 24, 1949. There was discussion of extension of water line to serve Block 1, Stewart and Saylor Addition, located at 40th Street and Avenue W, estimated cost A2,624.00, and the City Engineer and City Manager were instructed to work out an agree- ment, if possible, for extension of this utility service. A group of property owners, Mrs. I. M. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Sandlin, and others, appeared before the City Commission presenting petition that property from Tyler to Pierce Avenue aid 19th Street to 26th Street be in- cluded within the City Limits. No action was taken in this regard, the City Engineer to work with the property owners in working out details before the Addition is ready for annexation. Dr. Ewell L. Hunt and Dr. R. C. Douglas, appeared before the City Commission and presented a recommendation from the Lubbock -Crosby County Medical Society in.regard to operation of the City's Health Department. The report was signed by M. C. Watkins, Secretary of the Medical Society.

Watkins, Secretary Lubbock -Crosby County Medical Society A HEALTH PLAN. FOR LUBBOCKAND LUBBOCK In December of 1948 the City Commissioners and the Mayor of the City of Lubbock invited the Lubbock -Crosby County Medical Society to submit more "detailed" plans for the improvement of public health in the city of Lubbock and Lubbock County. We are well aware that many a improvements have been made in the interest of the public durinF the past 90 days. Because of the rapidly changing events, it is impossi- ble that this report be entirely up to date. For approximately twelve months the sixty or more physicians and their committees of the Lubbock -Crosby County Medical Society have given thought to a program for improving public health in Lubbock County. Each recommendation has been adopted after careful and deliberate considera- tion regarding its worthiness. The Society wishes to emphasize that this is a public problem and that the program outlined is not felt to be the only program worthy of support. The adoption of this program is encour- aged as one means to successfully manage health and sanitation problems contingent with the proposed Extension of Lubbock City Limits. A duty and responsibility of civil government is to provide its citizens with all benefits conducive to maximum health and well-being. Local health units, rendering direct services to the people, form the foundation of public health in the nation. Sound public health pro- grams can be best administered through sound local health departments, covering the entire population; however, health departments should not assume the care of the sick as a function. Medical care to those unable to provide for themselves is best administered by local and private agencies with the aid of public funds when needed. The Society is particularly interested in making clear in the minds of those interested in improving; our health program the difference between welfare, public health, and care of the indigent. Public health is thought to be a specialized type of preventive medicine on a community -wide scale. Welfare, although closely tied in with public health and care of tle indi- gent, is thought to pertain "more to housing, nutrition, heating, education, old folks home, etc. The ttcare of the indigent's needs no explanation other than to point out that it represents definitive medical care to the' indivi- dual in the strict, meaning of the term. Local health units should provide the six so-called minimum services recommended by Dr. Haven Emerson in his report on local health units for the nation. These include the control of communicable diseases; environ- mental sanitation; hygiene of maternity; infancy and childhood; including the supervision of the school child; public health laboratory services - health information; and vital statistics. The control of chronic diseases might be added., since this is being regarded more and more as a basic health service. With these things in mind, the following resolutions were passed: 111. That Lubbock and Lubbock County jointly employ a single Director of Public Health - a man of outstanding ability and special training in the field of preventive medicine.'t The Director of a local health unit should be a full-time, medically trained health officer. Services rendered by a health unit are such that a physician trained and experienced in modern pub- lic health practice is best qualified to serve as a director. Scientific advances, especially in the fields of bacteriology and immun- ology, and the demonstration of what may be accomplished in health promotion by the dissemination of information have greatly expanded the scope of public health activities in recent years. The ade nta-Tes of a local City -County Health Unit are such that a comprehensive public health program is encouraged, and this program can be promoted with a savings to the tax payer. _ 112. That we supply him with adequate help and a suitable budget to carry on a local public health program in Lubbock and its surrounding communities, It is felt that he will need a minimum of three public health nurses, a public health minded executive assistant, a sanitary engineer, a social welfare worker, etc.tl Once a well -trained Director of Public Health is acquired he will no doubt r�commPnd thep.eeds of his organization. rmerson recommends that a unit serving 50,000 persons should have a staff consisting of afull-time public health physician, a full-time sanitary engineer, a sanitary�nspector, ten public health nurses, one of whom would be of supervisory grade, and three clerical workers. This is considered basic personnel requi-ed by health units. City of Lubbock Health Department The personnel of this Unit is as follows: Health Officer 1 Laboratory Director 1 Laboratory Technician 2 Food, meat, and milk Inspector 10 Sanitarian 1 Clerk -stenographer 1 T.B. and Public Health Nurse (113 time) Rodent control supervisor and opera for 3 Total expense for the year 1948-49 - $79,560.00 of which approximately $64,910.00 represents salaries. A sound Public Health Program, providing City -County coverage is best administered through the establishment of efficient and economic lo- cal health department, employing full-time,.trained and experienced personnel. It is apparent that Lubbock is spending an adequate amount for public health services; however, if it is to accomplish the six minimum ser- vices set forth for up to date health departments, there will need to be reorganization of the unit and more strictly professional personnel added. It is understood that the budget for 1949-50 is approximately $9'0,000.00. Lubbock and Lubbock county should expect an outstanding Department of Health. Bearing in mind the original recommendation of three public health nurses, it should be brought out that Lubbock now has two school nurses, a TB nurse, a Methodist Church nurse social worker, and a Cerebral Palsey nurse - all of these pe rform.ng basic public health duties. Any recommendations we have made are in addition to these workers. 113. That the Health Department employ a physician to specifically care for the declared indigent on an out -patient basis. This physician would necessarily have to be supplied with nursing help and clinic faci- lities set aside for t�-i s specific purpose." This is not essentially a public health problem; on the other hand, a need for this type of an or- ganization is no doubt apparent. The employment of a contract physician or contract physicians on a full or part time basis is not the only solu- tion to this; problem in that a basic and reduced charge for routine procedures might be agreed upon and these people allowed to go to the physician of their choice. Regardless of the method in which these people receive out -patient care, the Society recommends 'careful screening by a competent welfare worker to determine who is eligible for this aid. Lubbock County physicians care for the hospitalized medically indigent at no charge to the County, and this policy will be continued until such a time as City -County Hospital facilities are set aside for this purpose. Since hospitalization is a major item of cost in the care of the indigent, the operation of a properly staffed, out -patient clinic in recommended as one way of screening the indigent and reducing the number of cases re- quiring hospital care. This combined with home nursing facilities will do much to reduce hospital bills. Hospital beds for indigent people are not a major problem for the citizenry of Lubbock County at this time. Heretofore, the physicians eff Lubbock have experienced some difficulty in receiving approval for hospitalization of indigent people. The Society feels that an independent budget Should be set aside for this specific purpose and that the idea of definitive medical care be separated from that of general welfare. Lubbock and Lubbock County: The 1948 figures are not available; however, in 1946 and 1947 twent -eight (28 ) hospital cases were authorized each year and i1,990.95 and $2,182936 was paid out for hos- pitalization of the indigent annually. This averages out at less than $78.00 per hospital case. Other medical items include local prescriptions and drug sundries' totaling $133.71 and $248-?5 respectively. A salary of $2,160.00 was paid each year for "Health Of- ficer to the Indigent.ff It is apparent that less than $4,500.00 was spent annually on the medically indigent. 114. That a general welfare budgets and agencies be separated from that of the Health Department except as is specified in Resolution 2. It is felt that this would improve the medical care to indigent people. 115. That Mr. Jarvis of the City Health Department be named as the executive assistant to the Health Director with duties specified as director of laboratory, etc.?? The Society has every regard for Mr. Jarvis and feels that he is performing admirably and in the interest of the public at large. On the other hand, we do not believe his training qualifies him for Director of Health. 116. That a thorou-h revision of county and city public health ordinances be made to mutually satisfy the incorporate cities within the county and that such laws require stool examinations and chest X-rays of all food handlers as well as tests for syphilis and a physical exami- nation. "No doubt this recommendation and many others will be made by a competent director of public health. ff That a long range plan be now initiated for the purpose of building a Public Health Center in Lubbock. This center would include the offices of the Director of Public Health, the laboratory, a clinic for indigent people, the offices of the various inspectors, and an asso- ciated welfare agency. We believe that in this area and under a similar type of architecture it would be well to have facilities for the Tuber- culosis Society, the Red Cross Blood Bank, the Palsey Clinic, the Well Baby Cl+'plc, and other civic and public -welfare minded agencies - each retaining its identity but cooperating fully with other agencies.,? This recommendation needs no explanation. tf$. That a City -County Health Council be established with represen- tatives from civic, welfare, and prnfpggional orpa nizations for the purpose of offering constructive criticism and aiding in the direction of the health program." It will no doubt come as a shock to many of the citizens of Lubbock to know that we do not have a Board of Health. Such matters are too numerous and detailed to be han died by county and city commissioners. Some discussion always arises as to the Societies reaction and feeling concerning a city -county hospital for the purpose of coring for indigent people. The Society neither recommends nor discourages construction of such a unit, but will support such a hospital if the people of Lubbock County want it; however, it should be pointed out that the establishment of a first class health department should positively precede construction of such a unit and that the cost and maintenance would probably run not less than $150,000.00 a year, which is an estimated third cost of con- struction. Motion by Commissioner Huf stedler, seconded by Commissioner Whiteside, carried unanimously, the following Resolution was passed. RESOLUTION WHEREAS, through a misunderstanding, in residential districts approximately eighty (80) persons voluntarilypaid ONE DOLLAR ($1.00) fines for parking motor vehicles and the City Commission finds in fair- ness to all persons concerned and in the public interest that said fines should be remitted, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY C014MISSION OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK: That all fines of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00) assessed or voluntarily paid by persons whose names appear on the list hereto attached and made a part of this Resolution, for parking during the early morning of Tuesday, April 26, 1949, be and the same are hereby remitted to each individual and pay- ment of such remitted fines to each individual is hereby authorized.
