County to contract nursing services for family planning; Board of Health member resigns
Summary
A temporary nursing-services contract was proposed to maintain family-planning services while the county recruits a permanent hire; the commission also received a resignation letter from Board of Health member Bridget Baker, who is relocating to Idaho.
County public-health staff described a short-term contract with an RN (Kathleen Nelson, RN) to maintain family planning services while the county recruits to fill an open position.
A staff member who identified herself as Lauren explained the contract "just allows us to make sure that we don't have a lapse in our services while we're recruiting." The CEO added that the arrangement is routine and that the county typically budgets for the request; one commissioner noted the program fills a local need following changes at the state job-service office.
Separately, the commission received and acknowledged a resignation letter from Bridget Baker from the Board of Health; the letter indicates Ms. Baker will accept a new job in Idaho.
Next steps: the temporary nursing contract and the resignation were placed on the record and will be brought forward for routine administrative processing.
