Commission recap: appointments made to Weber Morgan Board of Health; board described as 13-member body

At a Jan. 20 commission recap, Commissioner Sharon Bolos said the Weber County Commission made appointments to the Weber Morgan Board of Health and invited Brian Callan to describe who serves on the board. "The Weber Morgan Board of Health is a 13 member board," Callan said.

The board, Callan said, includes four elected officials and representatives from community stakeholders: Weber State University (a health-administration or public-health representative), Weber Human Services (typically the director or deputy director), Midtown Clinic (which serves underserved populations), hospital administrations, a representative from Morgan School District, Weber or Ogden School District, and the Ogden Weber Surgical Society. Callan said there are three citizens at large — one appointed by the Morgan County Commission and two appointed by the Weber County Commission — to provide community and business perspectives.

Why it matters: the board helps shape local public-health priorities and coordinates services between county health staff, hospitals, clinics and schools. Callan framed the stakeholder mix as a way to avoid duplicating services and to ensure outreach reaches underserved populations.

The commission did not provide names or the number of specific appointments in the transcript; the recap simply stated, "We did some appointments to the health board." The transcript contains no motion text, mover/second, or vote tally for those appointments. The commission's recap otherwise emphasized the board's diversity and its role advising public-health work in Weber and Morgan counties.

Commissioner Sharon Bolos closed the recap after the explanations and thanked participants.
