St. Clair County confirms several health-advisory appointments after heated public comment
Summary
After an evening of mixed public testimony about the county’s health leadership and direction, the Board moved multiple advisory appointments — including Paul Urban and Dr. Steven Smith — and confirmed Joseph Hayes and Dawn Faulk in at-large ballots. Citizens sharply debated the role and influence of the county medical director and the advisory board.
The St. Clair County Board of Commissioners advanced a slate of health advisory appointments Tuesday after an extended public-comment period that split residents over the direction of the county health department.
Paul Urban was confirmed for the District 4 seat and Dr. Steven Smith was confirmed for District 5; the board also completed multiple at-large ballots that resulted in the selection of Dawn Faulk (Faulk/Falk spelled variably in public comments) and Joseph Hayes. The panel also appointed Anthony Farrell to the Community Mental Health board earlier in the meeting.
