Boards, Committees and Commissions Code, Division 4 Page 9 of 11 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 • The new version of the city code adds the purpose of the Community Health Commission, which is to advise the community health board regarding Edina Public Health priorities and the duties of a community health board. The older version only established the commission. Duties (Sec. 2-163) • The new version of the code condenses the list of duties from ten duties to six. • The old version included items within duties that largely fell within the purview of public health staff; realignment of these duties helps right-size expectations and scope of work for volunteers. o The new version’s duties are poised to be more consistent with the responsibility of the volunteers appointed to the commission rather than the staff responsible for liaising the commission Membership (Sec. 2-164) • The old version states that members should include providers and consumers of health care services, if possible. The newer version does not include this provision. Page 10 of 11 Page 11 of 11
