November 29, 1973 325 Mrs, Dearborn read the following letter: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH Lansing, Michigan 48914 November 19, 1973 Lowell M. Wiese, MD, Director Oakland County Health Department 1200 North Telegraph Road Pontiac, Michigan 48053 Dear Doctor Wiese: As you know, additional federal project funds have been made available to the state the past year to initiate an all-out effort to control the ever-increasing incidence of gonorrhea, which has reached epidemic proportions. During the first ten months of this year, Oakland County reported 1,805 cases of gonorrhea. In October alone, 237 county residents were reported and treated for the disease. At this rate, Oakland County will report approximately 2,300 cases for the year, which would be a 35% increase over 1972. During the past year, a state-assigned Public Health Field Representative (Mr. Jim Goodman) has been assigned half-time to Oakland County. The female gonorrhea screening program in the county has been developed to the point that we are now testing 2,600 females per month, Which consistently produces a 3+% positivity rate. However, it is felt that the gonorrhea casefinding program needs to be strengthened. In addition to the support already furnished by the county and state, additional investigative and clerical support is needed •to further control efforts. in order to provide this additional assistance, the Venereal Disease Control Program proposes to assign an additional full-time Public Health Field Representative to the county and provide funds through contractual agreement for a full-time clerical position. The Contractual agreement would initially be written to support salary and fringe benefits for the clerical position through June 30, 1974. Since the program is assured of continued funding through fiscal year 1975, the contract would be renewed in June 1974 and extended through June 1975. Continued support beyond that point is anticipated but cannot be promised. I trust that this proposal will meet with your approval and that it can be implemented With minimal delay. Sincerely, Joseph L. Ploussard, Chief Venereal Disease Control Program Division of Disease Contrel JLP/bbp Moved by Dearborn supported by Coy the resolution he amended by changing the amount of Money to paid, to read: "That the entire cost of the position be paid by the State,'' A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
