Commission approves contract with county health officer for 2026
Summary
Commissioners approved the contract and monthly stipend for the county's local health officer, confirming Dr. Zook will serve again in 2026 at $300 per month.
County health staff told commissioners that Dr. Zook has agreed to serve as the county’s local health officer for 2026 and presented the signed contract pages for commissioners to sign.
“Doctor Zook who has agreed to be the health officer again for the 2026,” the staff speaker said when presenting the contract and asking commissioners to sign the back page. Commissioners moved to hire Dr. Zook as the county medical/clinical consultant at $300 per month; the motion was seconded and approved on a voice vote.
Staff also noted related standing orders (immunization protocol and family planning standing orders) were signed by the health officer and do not require commissioner signatures. The health department will file the signed contract copies as part of administrative records.
