Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Sundland to approve the minutes for the November 8, 1977 Canvass Board as corrected. Motion carried unanimously. • Mr. Fornell discussed the resolution which authorizes City participation in the Suburban Health Nursing Services which is being formed as a re- sponse to the Community Public Health Act of 1976 through which the State Legislature shifted the responsibility for providing health services to community health boards. Although he said the City Attorney had indicated some concern that the regulations governing the expenditure of fund might be too liberal, Mr. Fornell felt there were reasonable adequate financial safeguards provided in the plan. He said he agreed with the New Hope City Manager that the best avenue for the City to re- tain its present nursing service, North Memorial Medical Center, would be to join the new organization and lobby with other municipalities to have that center certified as a vendor under the organization. Although Councilman Stauffer feared the City' s options might be limited and Councilman Haik was concerned that the costs might be increased, the Council felt this might be the only opportunity they had to retain the North Memorial services to City residents which had been provided in a satisfactory manner with little or, no cost to the City as compared to costs levied on a per capita basis for nursing services provided by the City's previous vendor, Suburban Public Health Nursing Service. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Sundland to adopt Resolution 77-056 designating the City Manager, Jim Fornell, to serve as the City's Director.
