Commissioners plan to explore reorganizing the Health Department and the Department of Social Services. Options include separate agencies with separate governing boards (current organizational structure); separate agencies with Board of Commissioner governance; a consolidated human services agency with an appointed consolidated Human Services Board; or a consolidated agency with Board of Commissioners governance.
Any changes to the current organizational structure will require public hearings and public comment.
No further details or timeline have been given as to when commissioners plans to begin the evaluation process.
