Summary
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners reappointed Jacqueline Miller, DDS, to the county Board of Health for a four‑year term; one commissioner voted no, citing disagreement with the Board of Health's COVID‑19 response.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners on March 24 reappointed Jacqueline Miller, DDS, to the Lincoln‑Lancaster County Board of Health for a term running from April 15, 2025, to April 15, 2029. A commissioner moved and a second supported the appointment, and the motion carried on roll call.
The reappointment drew a single dissenting vote. A commissioner opposing the reappointment said, "I'm gonna stay consistent, and I will not revote to reappoint someone to the County Board of Health as part of the disastrous response to COVID that led to lockdowns that far exceeded the state," and concluded, "So my vote's gonna be no." The commissioner did not name an alternative nominee.
Board members said they had reviewed Miller's qualifications and resume before voting. The clerk called the roll; the motion passed on recorded vote. The board took no further action on the item.
The reappointment was taken under new business item 4(a). The board's next regular meeting is scheduled for March 31, 2026, at 9 a.m. in Room 112 of the County‑City Building.
