IN RE:
NEW BUSINESS
h Reauest for Appropriation of Funds for the
Purchase of Hepatitis B Vaccine and Eauipment.
(Bob Jerniaan, Risk Manaaer)
A-101392-2
Mr. Jernigan advised that in 1991 The U. S. Department of
Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
determined that employees face a health risk from occupational
exposure to blood and other potential infectious materials such
as Hepatitis Band HIV which causes Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome (AIDS). OSHA has concluded that this hazard can be
minimized or eliminated by the use of protective clothing and
equipment, hepatitis B vaccinations and other precautions.
Mr. Jernigan reported that written exposure plans and
training to occupationally exposed employees have now been
implemented. Personal protective equipment has been issued or is
on order, and the Hepatitis B vaccine should be available in
approximately two weeks. The estimated cost for the program was
$33,800. Employees affected by the program include Fire and
Rescue, POlice, Sheriff/Jail, Custodial Services, Youth Haven II,
Solid Waste, Parks and Recreation and Communication. Mr.

Jernigan advised that the County will realize a savings of
$29,700 by administering the vaccine through the Risk Management
Department.
In response to questions from Supervisors Minnix and
Johnson, Mr. Jernigan advised that the program is mandatory and
was not included in the budget because the effective date was
June 1992 and the staff did not know during the budget process
which departments would be in the program. Supervisor Kohinke
advised he would oppose this item because the federal government
mandated the program but did not provide funding.
Supervisor Nickens expressed concern at the cost but
moved to approve a $33,800 appropriation from the General Fund
Unappropriated Balance. The motion carried by the following
recorded vote:

Computinq. (Oscar D. Bryant, Director, M.I.S.)
DENIED
Mr. Bryant advised that new computer equipment with twice
the power can now be purchased at 25% of the cost of the current
equipment, and there is an additional savings of approximately
$620 per month for hardware and software maintenance. There
would be no additional funds required in the current year, with a
total of $119,641-included in future budget requests.
Supervisor Nickens expressed concern about spending the
funds and asked what would happen if the County did not upgra~e
the computer. Mr. Bryant advised that they would continue to
operate but would have to limit the number of users and users
would have to log off at certain times. Supervisor Johnson
reminded the Board that in 1988, the computer was planned to last
five years. Supervisor Eddy supported the upgrade of the
computer system-because of the substantial savings offered by the
vendor.
Supervisor Eddy moved to authorize the lease-~urchase
agreement. The motion was denied by the following recorded vote:
