Health screenings are available to anyone regardless of age or income; this is the 3rd Saturday of each month, except July, at the University City library. Diane is trying to get the word out about services provided.
She stated that the majority of those who take advantage of the services are immigrants. Participants do not have to have insurance or prove income; the services are completely altruistic. Visitors are welcome, and even encouraged. Those considered at risk are referred to other providers. No appointments are necessary. Results are provided at the time of tests, except those that have to go to the lab at St. Anthony’s.
In which case, results are mailed to patients. Administrative Director’s Report: See attached. 5916 Delmar Boulevard: Katrina informed the Board of the details with establishing a protest petition regarding the application of the fulldrink liquor license. Gary described the requirements necessary to obtain/combat the license. Officer Greene related his previous history with this business owner.
He noted that he can’t offer an official statement from the 7th District.
However, his personal opinion is that the applicant will not give up on the liquor license, and will continue in trying to obtain one. Norb made a motion to oppose any and all liquor licenses for the applicant at 5916 Delmar Blvd, Paul seconded the motion.
The resolution was passed. Norb asked about working with the 26th Ward NSO to oppose any permits for this location. Michael Noble asked about how to prevent this in the future.
