Gary Arthur's 7/22/08 email to Chuck Barlow

From: Gary Arthur, President Pro Tem, Norwood Health Commission

To: Finance Chair Chuck Barlow and 11 others, including Councilpersons Mike Gabbard, Victor Schneider, Keith Moore, Steve Thornbury, Council President Jane Grote, and Mayor Tom Williams

Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Subject: Finance Committee Meeting

Mr. Barlow,

The impression I have after conversations with Mayor Williams and yourself is that Council has been discussing the future of the Norwood Health Department upon Mrs. Laake’s retirement at the end of August. The Health Commission is in the process of selecting a replacement for Mrs. Laake, and we would like to discuss the options decided on by City Council since it could affect the outcome of our selection process.

I would like to suggest that we set the finance committee meeting we discussed regarding the Health Department for July 28, 2008. this would be best for the members of the Commission.

As you know from our previous conversation, I will be leaving for vacation on July 30, so I ask that you please let me know your decision before the end of this week.

By the way, Donna did not receive your e-mail regarding her phone call she made to you.

…Thank you for your consideration.
