During the March 11 meeting of the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors, Jotham Arber, Health Services Director, provided an update Guthrie County’s plans to expand mental health services.
“This is the culmination of five years’ worth of work,” Arber said. “Finally, I feel like we’ve gone from the ‘identify’ phase into the ‘we can actually do something about it’ phase. Our hope is, over the next few weeks, to start getting out into the community… so that when folks are in Guthrie County and they need access to mental health services, they have it.”
Brenda Dudley of Midwest Partnership told the supervisors about the upcoming Bonnie and Clyde Run, which is set for April 26 on White Pole Road. She said this year’s event will include an 18-mile bike ride. The supervisors formally approved the request to allow the event to be held on county roads as planned.
The supervisors held a 2026 budget work session.
