Bob and Greg,
lf all terms of the settlement agreeement required by EDF have been met, and the County is refusing to
comply with the Settlement Agreement, then yes, the County ls in violatl0n of the Agreement. Has EDF
done everything they agreed to do under the Settlement Agreement? lf !o, what is the justlfication for the
County not fulfilling its obliSations under the Agreement? lf EDF has notfully complied, has the County
notified them of the hilure to comply?

On behalf of the Ford County Public Health Department (FCPHD), lam pleased to share withyou the Fiscal Year 2018 Public Health Annual Report. This

The Health Department partnered with Gibson Area Hospitaland Health Services (GAHHS)to

Management (FCM) services are being provided by GAHHS at the Paxton Community and Wellness
Center in Paxton. FCPHD is excited to continue to provide Maternal Child Health Services through
GAHHS. The lllinois Department on Aging awarded the Health Department a new grant for the Senior
Health lnformation Program (SHIP). FCPHD received and sub-awarded over 5100,000 to SHIP sites in
East Central lllinois to provide education and counseling to Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers.
