(Board of Supervisors announce their appointment)....The Supervisors announced the appointment at their regular weekly meeting.

The announcement was two months past the deadline. Doctor Mervat Minerva Kelada was appointed as the seventh member to the Imperial Valley Healthcare District Board of Directors. The Board said they had received 8 applications. Six of them were confirmed to be residents of Ocotillo or Seeley. Kelada was he chosen appointee, but the county had to clarify her residence was in Seeley. Once that was done, the Supervisors were ready to appoint the Doctor to the IV Healthcare District Board. It has not been clear as to when Dr. Kelada will be sworn in to serve as the seventh and final IV Healthcare District Board. The Board meets Thursday evening.
