State to host swine flu clinic Friday


Published November 12, 2009

Friday, from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. or until supplies run out, the state health department will once again hold a swine flu vaccination clinic at the DeKalb County Schools Coliseum.

"There's still going to be a limited supply," said county EMA director Mike Leath at Tuesday's county commission meeting. "In late November, they're still planning to have some school-based clinics but for now, this one is the only one in the county."

• The commission approved to buy a patrol car for the sheriff's office for the price of $22,132. The bid by Carl Gregory Ford was within the three percent allowed over the state bid.

• Approved to open local bids on a new vehicle for the county reappraisal department.

• Approved to buy approximately 238 "vandal proof" video cameras for use in schools. The bid from HTTS was for $105 per camera.

"This funding came through the Homeland Security money and stimulus money," Leath said. "It was a total of $25,000 and was earmarked for school use."

The cameras will be used by county and Fort Payne city schools. Installation will be left up to the schools.

• Agreed to send a couple of EMA personnel to Auburn for the Alabama Association of Emergency Managers Winter Workshop.

• Sent a claim to the insurance company for damages to the vehicle of Aaron Dixon. Dixon asserts that he had a wreck that was caused by road conditions.
