By law No. 1 requires the Board of Health to review its by laws at least every two years. The requirement is to complete a review; it does not require that amendments be made as part of each review cycle. A compliance-based review of By laws No. 1 (Governance), No. 2 (Finance), No. 3 (Human Resources), and No. 4 (Management of Real Property) has been completed. Based on this review, the by laws remain current, operationally effective, and appropriate, and no amendments are recommended at this time.
The Governance Standing Committee was established by the Windsor‑Essex County Board of Health to support effective governance oversight, including maintaining governance tools and advising the Board on governance‑related matters.
The Board of Health’s appointment and vacancy‑filling processes are already clearly addressed in Board By‑law #1. Specifically, the by‑law provides that board vacancies are to be filled forthwith by the same appointing authority that made the original appointment.
