Bertino will host town meeting, Sat.

(Feb. 23, 2017) Worcester County Commissioner Chip Bertino will host his first town meeting of 2017 on Saturday, Feb. 25, at 10 a.m. at the Ocean Pines library.  
He will discuss issues and developments impacting the Ocean Pines district and the county.  Commissioner Bertino’s guests include Health Officer Debbie Goeller, Commissioner President Jim Bunting and Commissioner Vice President Diana Purnell.
Commissioner Bertino will present a mid-term review of county government since taking office in December 2014 including the budget and relations with other departments and agencies within the county and the state.
Goeller has been the health officer for Worcester County for more than 20 years and will discuss the responsibilities of her office that ensure the health needs of county residents are met and that state and county health laws are enforced.  
“Debbie is an asset to our county. She and her staff do much that goes unnoticed. Attendees to this meeting will find her presentation interesting and informative,” Bertino said. “Diana is a talented individual who brings much to the commissioners’ dais. I think Ocean Pines residents will be interested in hearing Diana talk about her community and her perspective of county government.”  Commissioner Purnell was elected in 2014 and represents District 2. Commissioner Bunting represents District 6 which includes portions of Ocean Pines.  
“I appreciate that Jim attends and participates in the town meetings,” Bertino said. “I think it’s good for residents to know that he and I have a very good working relationship that benefits the communities we serve.”
This town meeting will be the ninth Commissioner Bertino has hosted since being sworn in.  
“These meetings are an opportunity for residents to learn and understand what is going on within our county and it gives them the chance to ask questions and comment on topics of interest,” Bertino said.
