Besides hiring a Minnehaha County Commissioner to be the new health director (Item #76) in which he will have conflicts non-stop*, they have to pick a few other folks, such as council chair and vice-chair. The rumor for months was the current vice-chair, Merkouris, would take the council chair position once the new council was installed and likely Sarah Cole would become vice-chair. Well, that doesn’t seem to be the plan. It sounds like they (some) want to re-install Merkouris as vice-chair and Curt Soehl as Chair . . . again.
*notice in the agenda there is NO bio or resume included for Kippley.
