A RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3707.04 et seq. of the Ohio Revised Code, local boards of health throughout Ohio are authorized to take certain actions in response to public health emergencies requiring isolation and/or quarantine; and

WHEREAS, given that boards of health can only act by the affirmative vote of a quorum of their membership, which may be difficult to schedule and obtain in times of emergency, Section 3707.34 of the Ohio Revised Code further authorizes local boards of health to delegate some or all of that authority to the local Health Commissioner; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3707.34 of the Revised Code, said delegation is only effective upon the adoption of a Board of Health policy to that effect, which must then be approved by the local legislative authority; and

WHEREAS, on July 23, 2019, the Oakwood Board of Health enacted such a policy by adopting Resolution No. 19-2, which is now before Council for legislative approval; and

WHEREAS, Council has reviewed Oakwood Board of Health Resolution No. 19-2, and finds the same to be in the public interest;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKWOOD, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, OHIO:
