§ 101455 Advisory Health Board Appointment

• •The governing body (like a city council) may appoint a board of health.
• •The board's role is only advisory – it gives advice, not orders.
• •The law does not stop the governing body from creating this advisory board.

A city council decides to set up a community health advisory board to help the city health officer with ideas about clean water and disease prevention.

Because the law allows it, the council can appoint the board, and the board will just advise the health officer; it doesn't have any power to make rules.
