The Commissioners
met with local Funeral Home Directors regarding transportation of deceased
persons after autopsies have been performed.
It was discussed
that most counties don’t pay for the return trip (after an autopsy has been
performed) if the coroner ordered the autopsy.
Most counties pay for the deceased to be taken to the hospital for the
autopsy and the family pays for the transportation to the requested funeral
home.
There will be
further discussion with county officials as to the responsibilities of the
county, townships and family members.
Dave Millhouse of
Mercy Health Partners came in to discuss the possibility of tapping into the water
lines at the Defiance County East location.
The hospital needs a second water feed and Mr. Millhouse is proposing a
new tap come off of the existing waterline.
The second line would be an alternate looped redundant secondary feed.
The Commissioners
suggested to Mr. Millhouse that they would need a written agreement to ensure
both parties would share the cost to maintain the waterline should anything
happen to it.
