Search for new Boone health official to start Thursday

This is new—someone is encouraging Mr. Hatfield and Ms. Gonzalez to apply for the position and they both are fully qualified.  Why must the Boone County Board pay $600 per month to Mr. Empereur when there are two fully qualified administrators in the department already?

Bill Hatfield, director of environmental health, and Lisa Gonzalez, the Health Department’s director of personal health services, will act as co-public health administrators and oversee the department.

Both Hatfield and Gonzalez have the skill-set and meet the criteria required to assume the role of administrator and are encouraged to apply for the job, Empereur said. The post pays up to $78,000.

Since Empereur’s contract with the county was tied to Crawford and has expired, the board voted to retain him as a consultant. His contract approval must be reviewed by Boone County State’s Attorney Michelle Courier. Empereur is not paid by the Health Department but receives $600 a month from the Illinois Public Health Association for his work, he said.
