What happened: Borough Council unanimously passed a resolution calling for Lancaster County to initiate a working group to evaluate and make a recommendation related to the creation of a county health department by the end of this year. Background: Discussion of a possible county health department began at councilâs March 29 meeting, after receiving Manheim Townshipâs letter asking council to consider adopting a resolution urging county commissioners to support establishment of a health department. Quotables: âIâve done some research since the last meeting. In general, I support a health department, and, of course weâre in a pandemic now. I support a working group to explore what would work best for the county,â council member Kalie Johnson said. Clarifying that his vote is for the county to initiate a working group to look into the matter and make a recommendation, council member Jason South said, âI donât necessarily want to approve something I know nothing about.â
