Background: Baldwin County Eastern Shore Health Care Authority Board of Directors has submitted a list of three candidates per seat, recommending the appointment of Coley Boone, Starke Irvine, and David Dye (see attached request).
A copy of the Authority's certified resolution is required to be submitted within statutorily set time parameters and in resolution/certified form, to the Commission pursuant to §22-21-352, Code of Alabama 1975, which is found within "The Health Care Authorities Act of 1982" [codified collectively at §22-21-310, et seq., Code of Alabama 1975].
