As the meeting scheduled for March 2nd did not produce a quorum and meetings for April and May were cancelled due to Covid 19 State of Emergency the minutes of the meetingof Feb. 3, 2020 were approved as presented on motion by Commissioner Raymond and seconded by Commissioner Mullen.
Business arising out of the minutes:
- To provide follow up to the presentation by Mr. Lefort and the suggestion that we hire a professional Doctor recruiter to further attempt to obtain a doctor for our clinic, Mr. Lefort did contact the suggested recruiter to present a proposal to the commission. During this contact the recruiter indicated he required a significant fee to discuss the process, this was not considered a reasonable request and the matter was dropped pending further review. Covid 19 and the State of Emergency has intervened since. No further action can be taken at this time.
