Guthrie County Supervisors discuss weather closings and travel policy

By Rich Wicks | Times Vedette

During the May 20 meeting of the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors, board chair Maggie Armstrong led a discussion of the county’s procedure for closing during severe weather.

“From my understanding, this is how it’s been done in the past. It’s been up to the Board of Supervisors to determine if the courthouse, specifically, would close,” Armstrong said. “I would like to expend that and not just talk about the courthouse but treat all campuses the same.”

The supervisors discussed that some staff would be expected to continue working during severe weather. Armstrong asked that a list of “essential workers” or “essential jobs” be identified.

The supervisors discussed the county’s travel policy and some potential changes. Armstrong asked for opinions regarding in-state versus out-of-state travel. There was related discussion regarding lodging and meal allowances during work travel.

Becky Benton of State Street Insurance reported to the supervisors regarding the county’s Workers Compensation renewal. She reported on a savings for the county.

“This year, for about the third or fourth year, the rates have gone down, so that’s positive. The payroll figure that was submitted is lower than in 2024. So you put those two together… and the base premium is about $6,000 lower,” Benton said.

At 10 a.m., as part of the meeting, the supervisors walked outside to view storm shelter options and view a demonstration.
