Board approves two-year contract renewing county medical director through 2028
Summary
The Jackson County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a two-year contract to retain the county medical director through May 31, 2028, after staff said only administrative language required revision and apologized for the late submission.
The Jackson County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a two-year contract to retain the county medical director, extending the appointment through May 31, 2028, the health department told the board.
"Doctor Chernin has been, our medical director for the past probably 5 or 6 years, and he continues to do the same and wishes to continue," the health director said, explaining staff had made administrative language changes and that the contract arrived after its start date. The chair then asked for and received a motion to adopt the staff recommendation; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
The director said the revisions were not substantive to the medical director's duties but addressed wording such as references to an acting medical director. The board did not debate the substance of the contract and there were no recorded objections during the voice vote. The chair closed the item after the motion carried.
