REGULAR AGENDA 1. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SE RVICES/HEALTH DIVISION – REQUEST TO EXPEND FROM THE LARRY PERNICK HEALTH EDUCATION FUND FOR OAKLAND COUNTY The Health Division is requesting authorization to expend $3,200 from the Larry Pernick Health Education Fund for Oakland County to allow Title 1 3rd-5th grade students at Shieko Elementary School in West Bloomfield to participate in a health education pilot program with He nry Ford Hospital West Bloomfield (HFWBH) to promote healthy eating and lifestyles. This is a fee to participate program and the cost could be prohibitive for children who are under the Title 1 income guidelines. The project includes 2 field trips to HFWBH – one in fall and one in spring and three on - site visits by HFWBH team members (including a nutritionist and chef). Six hydroponic systems will be installed at the school, two for each grade. Students will be responsible for running the systems under the guidance of the Hospital’s resident farmer. Commissioner Quarles asked why this fund was not being utilized in Southfield Schools which was Larry Pernick’s district. Ms. Forzley stated that Shieko Elementary has a significant number of Title 1 stu dents which meets the intent of the fund. T he Pernick Fund has a balance of about $8,800 , mostly as a result of previous donations. Occasionally a donation is still made. The Health Division is working with HFWBH because of its clo se proximity to the school and HFWBH will be providing transportation for the students. The school’s PTA is interested in sustaining this program by doing fund raisers. The Health Division is also doing a lot in other communities through its 4x4 program and other initiatives to encourage healthy eating. Gershenson moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Crawford. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Quarles voting no. 2.
