r <br />MAR 171982 toK 49 Pm - 260 <br />Discussion ensued as to the fact that Dr. Alexiou, one <br />of the members of the medical team unacceptable to the <br />Judges, has very impressive credentials in the fields of <br />Public Health, Preventive Medicine, Epidemiology, and <br />Occupational and Industrial Health, although his speciality <br />is Pediatrics. <br />Maintenance Supervisor Lynn Williams reported that he <br />had a telephone conversation with the Chief of Staff at <br />Shands Hospital, who stated that his staff did not feel they <br />could evaluate the records of those county employees who <br />had visited Shands from an environmental position. He <br />recommended obtaining someone from the University of <br />Florida, and Mr. Williams stated that he did speak to a Dr. <br />Allen, an analytical chemist. Dr. Allen, however, is not a <br />medical doctor, and he was not sure about any relationship <br />they could make between the medical records and the <br />environment. He believed their staff did not think the <br />problem was in the Courthouse. <br />Discussion continued as to the next step to take with <br />the University of Florida. Chairman Scurlock noted that <br />Judge Smith had stated to him that he concurred we may never <br />be able to identify what this problem is no matter how many <br />experts we bring in, and felt it may just go away based on <br />removing the carpet. Chairman Scurlock was of the opinion <br />we could bring experts in from now on and it wouldn't make <br />any difference. <br />Commissioner Wodtke believed the statement had been <br />made that if the University of Florida could not recommend <br />someone, the Judges would accept whomever we recommended and <br />would turn their records over to these people. <br />Dr. Hardin reviewed the alternatives recommended in his <br />memo, and Commissioner Fletcher spoke in favor of approving <br />Alternatives C and D. <br />-7 <br />
