Guthrie County Supervisors approve Calmer subdivision plat
By Rich Wicks | Times Vedette
The Jan. 27 regular meeting of the Guthrie County Supervisors included consideration regarding the proposed Scott Calmer Minor Subdivision, about 4 acres north of Highway 4 near Panora. A public hearing was held on the matter. Following the public hearing, the supervisors voted to approve the final plat of the subdivision.
The board also held a budgetary work session, hearing from three departments (human resources, conservation, and county attorney).
Conservation Director Brad Halterman noted that his budget projections show an expected decrease in camping revenues. He said camping revenue numbers had been increased for several years but now seem to be returning to pre-COVID levels.
Halterman shared an unusual discovery on the bike trail. He said in the winter, it is common to see large snow drifts on the bike trail, but this winter’s lack of snow cover led to a new sight. He noted that the wind has left many corn stalks in drift patterns on the trail.
“We had drifts waist-high,” Halterman said. “So, that was new.”
County Engineer Josh Sebern discussed right-of-way contracts for road/bridge projects.
The supervisors approved Dani Fink to serve as secretary for the newly formed EMS nine-member committee. The committee’s meetings will be posted on the county website.
The supervisors meet regularly on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. The public is welcome to attend in person (at the courthouse) or via remote technology. To join remotely, call 323-792-6123, then use meeting code 547029216#
