MCHD may drop lawsuit -Continued from PAGE ONE legal counsel. district is currently in con- tract negotiations with the Morrow County Board of Commissioners regarding service to the Southern and Northeastern ASAs. Board- man Fire was awarded the Northern ASA. MCHD Board Vice Chair Trista Seastone of Irrigon seemed to speak for the room when she said she would rather deal directly with the BOC, fearing talks with BFRD would jeopar- dize negotiations with the county. “This isn’t any beef with (Boardman Fire),” Seastone said before the executive session. “I feel like we’re making headway, and I don’t want to upset the apple cart.” After coming out of executive session, the board voted not to pursue nego- tiations over the proposed contract from BFRD and to continue negotiations with the county for the two am- bulance service contracts. The board also voted unanimously to amend the Intergovernmental Agree- ment (IGA) as advised by While the motion did not specifically state which IGA would be amended, it could refer to the IGA the health district requested from Morrow County and the five municipalities as part of its service contract, which stated that none of the parties would withdraw from the health district within the next five years. While the county board of commissioners did not seem opposed to the IGA, The City of Irrigon had stated that it would not sign such an agreement. At a meeting the following day in Heppner, Morrow County Board Chair Da- vid Sykes commented that the IGA requirement had been pulled from proposed MCHD contract. Wrapping up the busi- ness at the meeting, the board authorized Roberts and Chief Financial Officer Nicole Mahoney to pursue a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) grant pro- cess for Irrigon Medical Clinic, to include hiring a grant writer.
