The regular monthly eeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Village of Weymouth was held on Feb. 3, 2020 in the meeting room at the Medical Centre with Commissioners Gaudett, Raymond, Frizzell and Mullen present. Also present was Rod Lefort who had asked to be added to the agenda.
Meeting was called to order by the Chair at 7pm.
Prior to reading the minutes, the floor was turned over to Rod Lefort who made a presentation on behalf of the Weymouth Area Health coalition. In summary, their request was for the commission to give consideration to hiring a private doctor recruiter to fill the vacancy left when Dr. Curtis closed his practice. it is his group's feeling that the provincial recruiters are not and will not put any priority on finding a dotro for Weymouth. After considerable discussion it was decided to invite the private recruiter (John Philpott - believed to be the same one that the unicipality had retained prior to Dr. Curtis coming) to meet with us. Date to be determined. The Warden will also be invited with the hope that the Municipality will once again fund this effort.
