RESOLUTION REQUESTING STATE LEGISLATURE
TO ENACT LEGISLATION AMENDING REQUIREMENTS
FOR APPOINTMENT OF LOCAL HEALTH OFFICER
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes 1969 Section 145.52 requires the
appointment of a doctor of medicine duly licensed and registered in
the State of Minnesota to be employed as the Health Officer for a
municipality, and
\tHEREAS, the functions of Health Officer may be readily assumed
by persons more qualified and knowledgeable in the requirements of
public health although not a licensed and registered doctor of
medicine, and
WHEREAS, the assumption of Health Officer duties by persons
other than doctors of medicine would result in substantial cost
savings and increase services now therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of St. Louis
Park wishes to have its legislators work diligently for the amendment
of Minnesota Statute 1969 Section 145.52 to allow cities to employ
persons qualified to perform the functions of Health Officer pursuant
to the rules and regulations prescribed by the State Board of Health
other than duly licensed and registered doctors of medicine.
