Summary
Director Tianna D’amour said Medical Director David Reed is retiring and the department will post the job; the recommended city operating budget includes converting a grant-funded public health nurse to full time but does not include a full-time relocation/evictions coordinator. The board voted to approve the Jan. 28, 2025 minutes.
Tianna D’amour, director of health for Norwalk City, told the Board of Health on Feb. 25 that Medical Director David Reed is retiring and that the health department has prepared a personnel posting; the department will share the job posting once it goes live and Reed will remain through the transition.
D’amour also summarized the recommended city operating budget as posted: the administration’s recommended budget includes converting a grant-funded public health nurse position to full-time in the operating budget for the next fiscal year, which the department requested as an ongoing position; the recommended budget does not include a requested transition of a part-time relocation/evictions coordinator to full time. D’amour said the department will present its request to the Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET) next month to make the case for additional operating support for the coordinator role.
