 New Business:
Mr. Bousman reported that he had discussed with Mr. Boone the need to create a director of nursing position. Mr. Bousman moved that the board authorize Mr. Boone to create the position of director of nursing and recruit an appropriate person to fill the position.
Mr. Eiden expressed his opinion that he would first like to see a job description for the position and a cost estimate regarding salary, housing and whether the director would work at the Pinedale or Marbleton clinic.
Mr. Budd and Mr. Bousman expressed their opinion that Mr. Boone should be allowed to do his job and be given the authority to create this position.

Mr. Bousman suggested that the board sit down with the commissioners to discuss the details of this matter as soon as possible because it is budget season.
