Residents ask for Health Board meeting concessions

A group of residents asked the Jefferson County Commission Feb. 24 for several concessions with regards to the March 2 Health Board meeting.

They were at the meeting to express displeasure, and support, over the recently enacted county-wide mask requirement issued by the health officer and in collaboration with the Health Board. 

The residents asked that the meeting be held in a location where individuals could attend in-person — recently the meetings have been held exclusively online. They also asked that the Health Board agenda be posted on the county’s Public Health website and a mediator be present.
