Commissioners approve health-department food funding for community baby‑shower outreach
Summary
The board approved a request to use health‑department funds to provide food at a community baby‑shower aimed at increasing outreach to young mothers; commissioners discussed budgeting the line for next year.
Commissioners approved a health‑department request to fund food for a community baby‑shower outreach event intended to encourage attendance by young mothers.
A staff member said the county has supported similar events in the past by using health‑department budget lines to pay for food and giveaways to incentivize participation. "They provide food in order to entice these young mothers to come in," the staff member said. After discussion, a motion to approve the request was made, seconded and passed on an affirmative voice vote.
One commissioner asked that staff consider budgeting the expense as a recurring line for next year rather than treating it as a one‑off, and the commission directed staff to follow up on that suggestion.
