SUBJECT REAPPOINTMENT OF HEALTH AUTHORITY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance reappointing Dr. Brian Rogers,
D.O., as Health Authority for the City of Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
Under the Health and Safety Code, the Director of the Public Health Department, who is not a

A Health Authority is a physician whose duties include establishing, maintaining and enforcing

diseases in the City to the Texas Board of Health, and enforcement of sanitation laws, quarantine rules
and vital statistic collection within the City. In this capacity, Dr. Brian Rogers has served an initial term
of two years, since April 1999. He has agreed to continue to serve as the City's Health Authority for
$12,000 per year.
In addition to the functions already listed, Dr. Rogers' primary function as Health Authority will be to
implement new protocols established by the Police, Fire, Marshal, Health and Law Departments for
emergency personnel who may be exposed to a contagious disease while performing their duties.
Under new protocols, Dr. Rogers or his designee will be available twenty-four hours a day, seven days
a week to any emergency personnel who may be exposed to a contagious disease while performing his
or her duty, to make a determination as to whether mandatory testing for a contagious disease should
be initiated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated
of the General Fund.
