Reorganization Discussed By Joint Board of Health Parents Invited To Visit Lowther Classes Monday Parents of the seventh and eighth grade students at The Lyon Couhty-Emporia Joint Board of Health reviewed personnel problems in the county's health department Wednesday evening and prepared to reorganize the department.

Board member James W. Pickert said the board has received several applications for positions which have been vacated by the resignations of all nurses in the department. The resignations were submitted before a meeting between city and county commissioners last week and a subsequent meeting when the health board voted to request resignations from all the county's nursing and sanitation department employes as of Oct. 31st. The resignations asked include those of board secretary Charlene Hotzel and sanitation director Carl Kunish.

Neither has turned in a voluntary resignation. Regarding what was accomplished at Wednesday night's meeting, County Commissioner R.P. Felkner said, "We have to hire, we have to designate one person as administrator or whatever the terminology is. That's number one. Then I think we have to decide whether or not we are going to accept the no I take that back.

After I get past that one point it seems like I am indefinitely hashing over stuff that has been said. We need to get some information from our counsel. In other words, we've got to get legal counsel-, ing." n.j The board discussed whether 1 the county health officer or a county health administrator. Opinions from the attorney general have explained each type of operation and the responsibilities of the person in charge. At present, the county has neither a health of-" ficer or an administrator although it has a medical consultant.

Dr. David R. Davis. Before the division of the health department Aug. 31st into the divisions of nursing and sanitation, Mr.

Kunish was the administrator but continuing disputes between him and County Nurse Eileen Greischar and other personnel problems led to the breaking of the department into two divisions. Mr. Felkner asked Dr. Davis Wednesday night if he would ask state health officials for help in the reorganization of the department. Dr.

Davis said he would and that the state would provide assistance. Mr. Pickert commented that he had received dozen, perhaps fifteen calls praising Mrs. Greischar for work in schools, nursing homes, and with individuals." Dr. Davis replied he thought Mrs.

Greischar was a "good nurse," but added it might be necessary to find someone to be an administrator who has not been involved in the chance to. visit classrooms and meet teac.hers^at School Teachers will give five-minute presentations and allow a few minutes to talk to The bell will ring every 12 minutes to notify parents to go to their child's next class.

Davis added, "and that can be an expense." At the close of the meeting, Mr. Pickert said the call for resignations "still holds." If they are not turned in by Oct. 31st he said, "the positions will be terminated then." Zoning (Continued from page one) siderable discussion which ended with the planning commission adopting three motions designed to tackle the sidewalk problem. Ronald Williamson of Bucher and Willis, the planning firm which has conducted the three-year study which to Wednesday night's meeting, told the commission that the sidewalk installations are handled in one of three ways. Sidewalks can be required on one side of a street and installed with the streets; they can be in- sailed in accordance with a sidewalksystem plan by beneifit districts; or they can be tied to building permits so that the sidewalks must be built when the permit is issued.

At Mr. Williamson's suggestion, the commission adopted three motions, each one on a six-to-one vote with Donald Law voting against it. The first declared the planning commission to be in favor of the adoption of a city-wide sidewalk program. The second requires the utility advisory committee, a committee of city and utility company officials responsible for examining subdivision plats before they are presented to the planning commission, to give the planning commission a recommendation on the need for sidewalks within each subdivision. The third motion urges the city commission to develop a plan to link new areas with the existing parts of the city with sidewalks.

Reviewing the comprehensive plan for the audience, Lawrence Snail of Bucher and Willis said that the city's population has increased 34 per cent since the original comprehensive plan was prepared in 1964. Noting that Emporia has "a youngerj profile than is usual for a town of this size," Mr. Snail said that projections indicate that the city population will grow by 8,000 in the remainder of the century. He said that continued economic development should provide an additional 4,000 jobs in Emporia in that time. A land use inventory shows that there are 4,500 acres of land in the city, Mr.

Snail said, while projections show that the city will need to be 1,300 acres larger byi He there are 41,000 acres in therarea outsiue the'city but within three milesof the city limits. The total represents an increase of 50 per cent during the past 10 years. a A housing survey shows that there are 8,000 housing units in Emporia, about one per cent of which are vacant. One-quarter of the vacant'units are delapi- dated and economically infeasible to'repair, Mr. Snail said.

The city will require 1,200 additional single-family dwellings by 2000, as well as a substantial number of housing units for the he said. Either a new elementary school or an addition to the Logan Avenue School, a new elementary school northwest of the present city Jimit, and an addition to Emporia High School will be among educational facilities needed before the turn of the century, he said. The city will need 180 more acres of parks spread over 16 locations before the end of the century, Mr. Snail said. The zoning maps and the three, documents were approved as they were proposed although minor corrections were made in each case.
