HSAC to consolidate applicant recommendations; committee moves July meeting to July 11
Summary
The Health Systems Advisory Committee said it has 10 new applicants and will interview additional candidates, consolidate seven applications and delay formal recommendations to a July work session; members agreed to move the committee's July meeting to July 11 to review applicants together.
Chair Randy told the committee it had received 10 new applications for HSAC membership and that three current members (including himself and Julia) will reapply. "So we have 10 new applications for HSAC," he said.
Members discussed whether to send recommendations piecemeal to the Board at the June 26 work session or to collect all recommendations and present them together. Linda (an existing member) and others argued for taking "all of your recommendations" together so the Board can review the full slate. Committee members agreed to postpone presenting to the Board and to interview the remaining applicants.
Randy said he would interview four additional applicants and bring a consolidated packet of seven candidates to the committee at its next meeting. The committee agreed to shift its July meeting from July 4 to July 11 from 3:00–4:30 p.m. so members could review all applicants and allow Monica (County liaison) time to prepare for the Board work session. Grant volunteered to help Randy on the application screening committee.
The committee discussed three candidate summaries Randy had reviewed at the meeting. He described Linda Whitney as a human‑resources consultant with Washington State Juvenile Rehabilitation and recommended her for approval. Miranda Robinson, a Seaside‑based trauma therapist and private‑practice counselor, was described as a strong candidate but the committee deferred a final recommendation until the full packet is available. Nicholas Bowling, a retired firefighter and EMT with earlier ER mental‑health experience, received mixed comments and was left "in the mix" for further consideration.
No formal votes were held on applicant approvals at the meeting; members agreed to finalize recommendations in July and then present them to the Board at a single work session.
