The Board's authority comes by a majority vote of the Board at a meeting of the Board. The President of the Board shall appoint members to standing committees and to advisory committees on which Board of Health member representation is required by Board of Health regulation. Notice of all committee meetings shall be given to local newspapers and radio and television stations at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Minutes of all committee meetings shall be incorporated into the minutes of the regularly scheduled monthly Board of Health meeting. Standing committees are personnel and finance and shall consist of two members each.
Advisory committees are clean indoor air, rabies control, and tattoo establishments.
The Board shall adopt its own rules of procedure but shall rely on Robert's Rule of Order for questions of parliamentary procedure, except where they are inconsistent with the standing rules of the Board or are contrary to existing laws of the State of Ohio. Members shall receive reimbursement for travel expenses at rates established by the Director of Budget and Management pursuant to section 126.31 of the Ohio Revised Code for attendance at up to 18 regular and special meetings each year, and for attendance at meetings and seminars authorized by the Board of Health. These by-laws may be amended at any regular meeting of the Board, provided that the amendment has been submitted in writing at the previous regular meeting.
