The Washington County Board of Supervisors discussed the term expiration for Board of Health members and the process of appointment at their Tuesday meeting. Washington County Public Health Administrator Emily Tokheim discussed the procedure regarding board members. “We do have two Board of Health term expirations this year. In looking back at previous years to kind of get guidance as to how this process has gone in the past, it looks like, and including this year as part of this process, the last four years have been kind of inconsistent in the process to fill board of health vacancies.” The open board positions will be posted on the Washington County website, and the item will be added to the next meeting agenda for further discussion. The Board seats that may be open are the Board Chair held by Cathy Buffington and member Jack Seward Jr. They have not yet decided if they would like to be reinstated to their positions.
