The Ford-Iroquois Public Health Department will be looking for an interim administrator now that former administrator Doug Corbett has signed a buyout agreement, health-board member Rod Copas said Tuesday.
Copas, who also is Iroquois County Board chairman, said: "The interim administrators we are looking at are $5,000 a week. They are very specialized. ... They come in and work a whole lot to try to fix all the issues and that's all they do.
"Then they make recommendations to the public health board. They could be here anywhere from three months to six months."
He said the consensus at Monday's health-board meeting was that a different firm will be hired to conduct a search for Corbett's replacement.
The health department also is nearly out of the home healthcare business, Copas said.
"We lost $411,000 on home health in 2012," he said. "It will all be over with the second week in October.
