Commissioners coordinate interviews for joint health department administrator; staffing concerns raised
Summary
Commissioners discussed scheduling interviews with Barton County for a joint Health Department Administrator and debated whether hiring a joint administrator would require additional county nursing staff or a seasonal nurse for outreach.
Commissioner Miller reported he had been in contact with the Barton County administrator and that Barton County "will try to schedule interviews for next Friday." Miller said he would be available to attend and Rein and Burdett agreed. The board discussed structure and logistics for hiring a joint health department administrator, including whether a joint administrator would necessitate hiring a full-time county nurse.
Commissioner Miller raised cost concerns and suggested the county consider a seasonal part-time nurse for outreach clinics rather than a full-time nurse; commissioners agreed to continue coordinating interview scheduling with Barton County.
