Board appoints Rev. Floyd R. Blair to De Mo County Board of Health
Summary
The Board of Supervisors accepted a resignation from the county Board of Health and unanimously appointed Rev. Dr. Floyd R. Blair to the board; members cited his federal and state public-health experience.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors accepted a resignation from a member of the county Board of Health and voted to appoint the Rev. Dr. Floyd R. Blair of First United Church of Christ in Burlington to fill the vacancy.
The board read Blair’s letter of interest, which described decades of public-service experience, including work with HHS and service as an assistant deputy commissioner in New York City and other public-health and nonprofit roles. The letter—read into the record—said Blair is "enthusiastic about the opportunity to leverage my expertise to advance your mission and support the board’s strategic initiatives."
Board members who spoke during the confirmation noted Blair’s federal and state public-health background and recommended his appointment. The appointment was approved by voice vote.
The county clerk’s office will post the vacancy process and encourage other applicants for future openings; staff reminded residents that applications are available on the county website.
