A Guide to Public Health for Local Governing Entities: Michigan's County Commissions, Boards of Health, and City Councils
This version dated November 2006 and revised March 2007 replaces the little yellow booklet that was printed in July 1983 by MDCH.  You're going to want to download this to your computer first.  It takes forever for all the graphics to download if you try to open it from here.  If you have previously printed an LGE Guide make sure you download this errata sheet to see the minor revisions made in March 2007.  To have a copy mailed to you, download the order form.
