The Oneida County Board of Health Committee voted May 12 to recommend Ann Huntoon to fill the nurse seat on the board.

Linda Conlon described a selection process that used a matrix to evaluate five candidates on nursing experience, governance experience and healthcare operations, with attention to clinical care and population health backgrounds. Conlon recommended Ann Huntoon based on that evaluation.

Chair Dan Hess moved to recommend Huntoon for the nurse position; Lenore Lopez seconded. The minutes record “all ayes; motion carried.” The committee’s action was a recommendation based on its statutory guidance that a nurse serve on the board; the minutes do not record a formal county-level appointment process or the appointing authority.

Hess said he had discussed the evaluation process with Conlon prior to the meeting and supported having staff make a recommendation for the committee to approve. The minutes do not record whether Huntoon was present or whether finalists addressed the committee.
