Fremont County accepts public health nurse manager resignation; commissioners authorize recruitment and clinical‑supervision contract search

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners accepted the resignation of the county’s public health nurse manager (who self‑identified in the meeting record as Gina Stewart) and voted to open the position for applications. Stewart told the board she is training Nicole Peele, nurse supervisor, to handle budgets and processes during the transition; commissioners thanked Stewart for her service.

At the same meeting, staff from Treatment Courts and Youth Services (self‑identified as Faith) reported that the day reporting center currently has four students, with referrals expected to increase to six by March, roughly half of the program’s capacity. Faith said three citations involving Fremont County juveniles from a nearby county were progressing through diversion and probation processes.

Commissioners approved using the recent interview pool to hire a case manager within the approved salary range ($56,883) and approved advertising immediately for a contractual clinical supervisor to provide required clinical oversight while staff continue licensure and recruitment efforts.

Next steps: Human resources will open the public recruitment process for the public health nurse manager position and coordinate interviews (staff contact: Emma). Treatment Courts staff will proceed with hiring steps for the case manager and advertise for a contractual clinical supervisor; the board recorded these motions by voice votes during the meeting.
