Do you want us to meet the same day? I could do both meetings on the morning of the 12th, would that work for you guys? I hate going to the doctor but still have visits on lungs and heart. Beats the alternative. Thanks, Rick

Sure, Do you want to put times on the calendar for meeting now or wait till next week ??? Billie and I are available most anytime next week, But Linda is off the first few days , so she would need maybe a time on the 12th or 13th . Hope your doctor visits go well.

I need to discuss with Jennifer before you purchase anything and that will be Thursday. Bill says we have to have an engineer to do the awning and since you have limited funds I don’t see how the awning thing happens this year. I need to meet with you and Linda about the DSS budget sometime next week and you and Billie about the Health Department budget too. I have several doctor’s visits next week so hope we can work this out. Thanks, Rick

I hear your concerns but on behalf of staff it is difficult to move places due to staff having to drag supplies out and not having everything you need. I am also afraid if we add one more burden to these already worn out PH staff we will not have anyone to provide tests anyway, it is a huge burden to pack up 3 times a week for testing and the difficulty planning for the exact supplies you need. We always have extra people drop in for testing .
We did talk about a tall carport but that didn’t pan out due to space and this side road has delivery trucks that come thru. The awning would be retractable like on a camper. The health department monies is for infection control and prevention , so the contract was very limited. The only other thing we needed was a better barrier built between the two front lobby windows??not sure if time would allow that to be completed. Vehicles is not allowable and computers were only for telehealth purposes , so cannot justify that either. We will do whatever you think best ?

I understand about no county dollars but the awning is concerning if it is permanent. Why can’t we spend the money on vehicles or more computers? The county has an awning at the senior center that could be used, what about the church? Thanks, Rick

Hey Rick, wanted to get your approval for the purchase of our needed items from the cares/covid grants that the health and DSS has that will revert back to the state in December if we don’t order ASAP. Remember this is no county dollars. The guidelines for purchases are very specific and we have them already approved and in both budgets as of last night. Is it OK to proceed with the following ;
1)DSS needs to order 5 computers and scanners
2) Health needs to order awning, Josh said we could order it cheaper and install this ourselves, we are thinking in the neighborhood of 5,000 to 6,000.00. ( we have had complaints from patients that have gotten wet during some of these bad weather days and staff are in the weather much longer than even clients)
I hate to not utilize these grant funds for our county instead of relinquishing them to our neighbors.
It was good to see you last night, I hope your health keeps improving every day. Talk to you soon.
