Orange County Preparedness Agreement with Person County Health <br /> Department <br /> The Board considered an agreement with Person County Health Department for the <br /> provision of public health preparedness services for Orange County and authorizing the Chair <br /> to sign. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked for an explanation of the vacant FTE and asked for a <br /> written proposal for this and what this is going to be used for. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that this is not creating another FTE, but it is a contract with <br /> Person County to do work with grant funds. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that the point of Commissioner Gordon's question is that the Board <br /> did speak about defining this position, and the Board should approve a redefined position. <br /> Health Director Rosemary Summers said that she did turn in a proposal about this FTE <br /> to Human Resources and to the County Manager and the new FTE would be a lower <br /> classification. <br /> Discussion ensued about this issue. <br /> Chair Jacobs entertained a motion to have Rosemary Summers submit the new job <br /> description that was submitted to Human Resources and the County Manager to the Board of <br /> County Commissioners. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to <br /> have the Health Director submit the prepared job description to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
