The Weston County Health Services Board of Trustees accepted the immediate resignations of trustees Nathan Bowles and Corinne and voted to begin the process to fill those vacancies.
At the meeting (date not specified), the chair read resignation letters from Nathan Bowles and from Corinne (no last name given in the record). The board moved to accept both resignations; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.
Trustees discussed steps to advertise the openings. The board agreed to advertise for two weeks, set an application deadline of Aug. 1 and to hold interviews beginning the week of Aug. 4 with a tentative group interview session scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 5:30 p.m. The motion giving the chair latitude to schedule interview times based on the number of applicants passed. Members said applications will be made available at the health services front desk and on the website, posted in local newspapers (the Gazette and the other local paper were named in discussion), and posted on local bulletin boards such as the post office notice board and via Facebook to increase outreach. The board emphasized that applications must be notarized per special district board requirements.
Allison (staff/counsel) advised the board that the applicable statute contemplates a 30‑day period for appointment, and the board agreed to move to complete the appointment process within that timeframe if possible. Trustees discussed interview logistics including standardized questions and 15‑minute interview slots if there are many applicants.
A motion to advertise as stated — two weeks of advertising, application deadline of Aug. 1, and interviews on Aug. 5 beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the chair given scheduling latitude — was moved and seconded and later approved. The board recorded that accepted resignations were returned with property belonging to Weston County Health Services.
The board closed the meeting by moving to adjourn; that motion also carried.
