BOCC forwards county's recommendation to city for joint Pueblo Board of Health appointment
Summary
The Board voted to forward its preferred candidate recommendation for a joint city-county vacancy on the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment Board of Health; the county's nominee must still be ratified by the city.
Pueblo County commissioners on May 20 reviewed five applicants and voted to forward the county's recommendation for a joint city-and-county vacancy on the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment Board of Health to the City of Pueblo for ratification.
County staff said the vacancy is a joint city-and-county seat with a term ending July 1, 2030. Staff ran an internal survey of commissioners to rank applicants and reported that incumbent Aileen Dennis received the highest score in the county process. The commission formally approved sending the county's recommendation to the city; the city must ratify the appointment before it becomes final.
A commissioner noted staff would amend the resolution to indicate forwarding to the city for ratification and staff said those changes would be provided after the meeting. The board took no final appointment action pending city ratification.
