We continue to see a rapid increase in
COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. Please remember to take proper precautions.
We have been busy with ODH updates on a daily basis, COTS updates, Binex- at-home test kit dispersements and ordering, and numerous questions from businesses, schools, and the public.
Staff is under a lot of stress in this current environment of the pandemic, and being short-staffed does not help.

Old Business
7.1
Appointment of a Health Commissioner
Next steps
Moving forward, it is impossible to do both positions any longer (meaning health commissioner and EH Director simultaneously) The Environmental Health work is behind. Neither position is being completed at an optimal level.
Jason McBride visited Galion on December 22, 2021. Both Candy and Shellie were present in my office so he had a warm welcome. I gave him a copy of our PPM, and Candy gave him a lot about the good in Galion and Crawford County. It was a positive visit. He looked at two homes in the area with a realtor as well.
He made a counter offer. This is up for BOH discussion.
