The North Central Public Health District board approved a budget Tuesday that moves ahead with laying off two staff members in the wake of not receiving the full amount of funding it requested from Wasco County. District Director Teri Thalofer said the two individuals received layoff notices and their last day of work will be July 7. In addition, the district will cut back its walk-in clinic hours from five days a week to one. Thalofer says that will happen sometime after July 1. Wasco County Commissioners approved in their 2015-16 budget an allocation of $314,000 to the district, under the $396,000 the district said it needs to maintain current services. County Commission Chair Scott Hege told district officials last week that panel could consider increasing their contribution once a study of district operations requested by the County is finished later this year.
