4 THE BOARD Oversight & Policy, not management
New $ always needs to come before the board Lunch meetings are great No longer than 1.5 hours Invite key staff in to present their programs Let them know of any new developments, they do not need to be blind sided Financials should be a standing agenda item Leverage your board for good causes but try not to pit them against the County Commissioners or County Management

5 Contracts Contract process covers when we pay someone for a service
I review the contract, but I do not sign it Once I review I send it to my Finance Officer (holder of the contracts) My Finance Officer forwards to the County Finance Officer for his blessing, he signs off or not and sends it back to me Iran Divestment Act E-Verify Non-Appropriations Clause Governing Law I sign it and send it to the vendor for their signature The completed document is received and placed on file in the Health Dept. A tickler system is set up to remind us of pending renewals MOU’s and MOA’s that do not involve money are handled at the Health Dept. level and also kept on file
