Board approves Empower Whitley Women’s Health Fund and waives second reading

Scott Wagner, identified as the county health director, told the board that a grant from SDI prompted creation of a new fund, called the Empower Whitley Women’s Health Fund 2, to support the health director’s program. Wagner offered the administrative papers and said the board could take the first reading today and the second in March or approve both readings at once.

A commissioner moved to approve the fund and to waive the second reading; a second was offered and the board voted to approve the motion. The motion was recorded as carrying; no dissenting votes were recorded in the public minutes.

No further details about the grant amount or program spending limits were presented during the discussion.

The board did not request additional materials at the time of the vote.
