The sweetwater County commisioners voted yesterday to make an appointment to the Hospital board against the advice of the county attorney's office. Incoming commisioner, Reid West is currently the chair of the hospital board however, will have to resign his position once he takes over as a county commisioner. The vote of the commision was 2 to 1 to appoint Grant Christensen to the hospital board even though there is no current vacancy. The county attorneys office informed the commisioner that they could not appoint someone to a board whe there is no vacancy. Commisioner Randy Walker whose term ends January 3rd, voted against the appointment. West is expected to resign his post prior to taking the oath for his new job. The commision will expand to five members in January with the addition of West, Gary Baliff Jon Kolb and Wally Johnson. Paula Wanacott stays on to serve on the commision.
