Wilkes County Board of Health approves annual policy updates
Summary
The Wilkes County Board of Health unanimously approved its 2026 policy updates after a staff review; members requested minor edits such as adding page numbers to a flexible-work template. The board adopted the agenda, approved prior minutes, and approved the revised policies in a single motion.
The Wilkes County Board of Health voted unanimously April 13 to approve its annual set of departmental policies and procedures after staff highlighted changes for review. Ms. Rachel Willard introduced the review process and said updates were highlighted in yellow for the board to inspect. "I will make sure those are added," Willard said in response to a request about page numbers for the alternative/flexible work schedule template.
Board action followed procedural motions: Commissioner Shirley Randleman moved to adopt the meeting agenda, Ms. Martha Brame moved to approve prior meeting minutes, and Ms. Adina Watkins moved to approve the policies with the recommended amendments; each motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The approved materials included operating procedures, appeals processes, policy development guidance, standing orders, and program-specific review processes. Next steps include incorporating the requested edits and maintaining the reviewed policies in the department's manuals.
