by Trent Young on December 10, 2020

Ada County, ID — The Central District Board of Health will meet again on Tuesday, December 15 at 3:30 pm. As part of its agenda, the Board will discuss the draft districtwide public health order which has been under consideration for multiple weeks. The Board was set to discuss the draft order at its meeting on December 8, but safety concerns over hundreds of protestors at CDH headquarters and at the homes of two Board of Health members forced the Board to abruptly cancel its meeting just 15 minutes into the agenda. The draft public health order remains as written and shared with the public on Friday, December 4, 2020. Review the draft public health order on the Board of Health Meetings page, HERE. Read More.
