Coos County approves hire for WIC program public health aide
Summary
Coos County commissioners approved hiring Regina Gingerie as a public health aide I for the WIC program, authorizing the candidate at step 3 of the pay grade after staff reported short-term funding extensions for WIC operations.
Coos County commissioners on the consent portion of their meeting approved hiring Regina Gingerie as a public health aide I for the county WIC program. The board authorized the salary at step 3 of pay grade 4‑14 after staff said additional funding has extended support for WIC through November.
The action was taken after a brief exchange during which a commissioner asked whether WIC’s formula distribution issues had been resolved. Michael, the staff member who introduced the request, said funding has been extended through November and staffing support has been secured for that interval. A motion to approve the hire was made, seconded and approved with no recorded opposition.
The hire is intended to support ongoing WIC services; the transcript did not specify a start date for the new employee nor provide further details on long‑term funding beyond the November extension.
The board’s action was procedural and consistent with the request to fill a budgeted position for the county’s public health services.
