The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met April 28 in regular session. As part of the consent agenda, the supervisors approved liquor licenses for Twin Vines and Winetime LLC.
County Engineer Josh Sebern summarized proposed funding agreements for three federal-aid bridge projects in the county. The supervisors approved each of the three.
Sebern and the supervisors also discussed the Roads Department’s five-year plan for road projects. Discussion centered around funding and the prioritizing of roads most in need of repair. No formal action was taken.
Supervisor Maggie Armstrong told of an upcoming planned visit from the Iowa State Association of Counties.
“It looks like they’re looking for a point person, a potential timeframe and location,” Armstrong said. “It looks like they’ll take like half a day, and talk with department heads, employees, officials, to talk about some of what ISAC has going on and to hear what our priorities are.”
Armstrong will be the point person and will inform the supervisors as plans are made.
Steve Smith told of plans for upcoming emergency drills for county employees. The preliminary plan is to most likely close the courthouses offices for roughly a half-day for the drills. This issue will be on the agenda for the supervisors’ next meeting, May 6, to determine scheduling.
The supervisors meet regularly on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. The public is welcome to attend in person or via remote technology. To join remotely, call 323-792-6123, then use meeting code 547029216#.
