St. Clair County Board Set for Final Vote on Health Department Leadership and RestructuringThe St. Clair County Board of Commissioners Human Services Committee meets Thursday evening to take final action on new three-year employment agreements for the county’s top two public health leaders and a reorganization of clinical staff.
Rebuilding the Leadership AgreementsThursday’s vote follows a five-to-two vote by commissioners in July against advancing an earlier draft of Medical Director Doctor Remington Nevin’s contract.
While previous agreements for both Nevin and Health Officer Liz King contained automatic annual renewal provisions, county leaders chose to replace those evergreen clauses with fixed three-year terms running through August 19, 2029.
Creating the Deputy Medical Director RoleCommissioners will also vote on a manning table change converting a vacant nurse practitioner position into a new Deputy Medical Director role.
The deputy will also represent Nevin at local clinical meetings during his physical absence, ensuring consistent medical leadership on site at local clinics.
