The Marion County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Monday. There was a discussion and an update from the Marion County Public Health Department about changes taking place at the state level.

Every five years there is a bidding process on how public health programs are  distributed to the public. Marion County Board of Supervisor Chairman Mark Raymie tells KNIA/KRLS News, “Kim Dorn gave a very detailed update on where public health currently stands. The state changed how we get programs to our citizens. The county did not win a lot of those programs. This was a competitive bidding year; it happens every five years. And because of that there will be some significant changes to the structure of public health. We still have one program outstanding. We will find out about that program on August 30. After that we’ll determine the future structure of public health.”

The board also approved three appointments to the Marion County Development Commission, Doug Stewart, Tony Aylsworth and Sara Roberts.

Also approved was a wine license renewal for Nearwood Winery, a special event on the Marion County Courthouse grounds for 9-11 and resolutions for tax sale certificates. The board also heard a presentation about the  Marion County Treasurer’s Annual Report.
