Governance and Organizational Structure  

  structure of the board

The District Advisory Council 

The District Advisory Council (DAC) is comprised of all 22 mayors of the villages and townships of Cuyahoga County and the President of the Cuyahoga County Commissioners. The DAC is mandated under section 3709.03 of the Ohio Revised Code to meet annually in March to authorize our contracts with the cities we serve, review and approve our annual report and appoint members to our Board of Health.

The Board of Health 

The Board of Health members are appointed to 5 year staggered terms by the DAC. The Board is comprised of five members, with one of those members appointed from the District Licensing Council, which also provides a Board alternate. The Health Commissioner, who serves as Secretary to the Board, is appointed by the Board, which also appoints the Medical Director. The Board of Health meets monthly to review and approve all fiscal, legal, program and planning operations of the department.

The District Licensing Council 

The Cuyahoga County Health District Licensing Council (CCHDLC) was established under Ohio Revised Code 3709.41(A), which applies to most local  health districts. The goal of the CCHDLC is to initiate, build and maintain a relationship between the regulated community and the CCBH. This body also represents the regulated community in Board of Health deliberations by recommending a member to sit on the Board. The CCHDLC reviews and comments on issues affecting the licensed community at both the state and local level, improves the communication and linkages among the public and private sector and identifies the needed changes in legislation, policy and practices. CCBH community programs are provided by approximately 235 dedicated and professional staff.
