Public-health personnel - While convened as the Board of County Health, Health Director Diane Krieg requested authority to fill a newly budgeted, full‑time medical billing and coding specialist position to separate billing duties from the fiscal analyst.

Procedure and votes All motions described above were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting; commissioners recorded unanimous "aye" responses for the items voiced on the record.
Why this matters: These approvals advance multiple county capital and facility projects, formalize a local business's beverage license for 2026, and set staffing in the health department intended to improve billing and revenue collection.
Next steps: Project contractors will proceed with work according to their contracts; health department staff will advertise the billing-and-coding position for hire.
