NCPHD Board To Consider District Or County Question Further

The North Central Public Health District Board of Directors decided to gather more information before making a decision on whether to recommend keeping the district as is or going back under Wasco County with Sherman County contracting for services.  The board reached a consensus to form workgroups to answer various questions surrounding the issue, including legal responsibilities of the counties and how staff would be transitioned into the County if the district was to be dissolved.  Wasco County Administrative Officer Tyler Stone said they would be looking to make sure no harm would be done to staff in a transition.  But district board member Bill Lennox felt the employees are looking to the counties to indicate they will be supporters of what their values are.  District board chair and Sherman County Commissioner Joan Bird suggested 30 days to gather more information.
