Commissioner's ordinance

Here is a copy of the newest ordinance by the Commissioners. This will add two additional Board Members to the hospital board. What is interesting is the timing of this. It was requested back in January when they did not reappoint a physician to the board. It was requested as a mechanism to place a physician back at the table and to provide input to the Board they were not recieving. It was never acted on until after the election in november and in just 1 month, there are going to be two more positions to fill by members whose terms expire.

The other interesting thing is the appointments are for a 1 year term. This also seems a little unusual as it takes much more time for any new Board member to even feel comfortable with the volume of information and the learning curve.

I would love to see the commissioners have many applications to choose from. We need progressive, independent thinkers who are not afraid to challenge current thoughts and processes.

If you are one of those people, please send a letter to the Commissioner's office stating your desire to be considered for one of the positions.
