The Marshall County Board of Health approved proposed personnel changes for the Public Health Department, including a 7% increase in the director's base salary and a 3% cost-of-living adjustment for the director and PRN nurse. The board recorded that the Board of Supervisors had approved the 3% cost-of-living raise for the PRN nurse contingent on the department head's approval; the director will present the recommended director salary change to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.
Separately, the board authorized posting an additional PRN nurse to begin on or after July 1, 2026. Department staff told the board there is room in the current budget for 800 total PRN hours, which supports maintaining two PRN positions; the board approved the posting unanimously (motion by Kim Elder, second by Jim Goodman).
