Jerry Horne Named
County Accountant
The 4 February 1980 meeting of
the Board of County Commis
sioners’ meeting began with an
introduction by County Manager
Wagner of Jack Bryan, new
Special Services Director, to the
Commissioners.
The special committee on the
Emergency Medical Service
report was accepted and a
recommendation was moved that
an incident review committee be
formed to investigate any serious
incident or complaint instigated
by the hospital administrator or
County Commissioners Board,
and reported to both. The special
committee, headed by Dr.
William Bosien, found that there
was no malfeasance or negli
gence as accused, and that there
were a few small matters which
do need correcting. It was stated
that there were problems of the
Emergency Medical Technician
in knowing where a few of the
places he was to go to were
located and also a lack of an
incentive plan for him.
Chairman Sauve reported that
many phone calls have been
received concerning the addition
of an Agricultural Extension
person for 4-H activity. These
were mainly in favor of more 4-H
work but not at the the expense of
higher tax, and also that the
extension services were very
much the same as 20 years ago
and not up to today’s needs.
Furthermore, many of Polk’s
farmers are full-time mill
workers who farm in the evening
and on the week-end when the
Maintenance employee

Columbus. Applicant should

Extension office is closed. Billy
Hugh Ruff felt that the 4-H
program is the most important
aspect of the Agricultural
Extension Agency,. The 4-H
Foundation might volunteer $1100
to fund the Extension personal
for the last quarter of this fiscal
year offered to be matched by the
state by $4000. It was decided that
a work session will be held with
the Agricultural Extension Agen
cy on local and state level, to iron
our differences in what is offered
and needed. Reagan Ammons
wks acredited with action and
enthusiasm.
Cliff Fields, Health Director
reported on landfill problems
solved and unsolved, and
requested to have complete
control of supervising of the
landfill and of personnel. The
Board was more than happy to
grant his request.
Among other business, the
Board re-appointed Marvin Ar-
ledge, Millicent Stein, Sue
Jordan, Charlene Pace and
Houstan Moses to the Nursing
Home Advisory Committee and
Jerry Horne was named county
accountant. Also Marvin Price
was awarded a contract for
painting the courthouse lobby for
$1300. — League of Women
