During the regular meeting of the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors meeting on Dec. 17, County Auditor Dani Fink reported on results of the recent Rural Improvement Zone (RIZ) election for Diamondhead Lake and Lake Panorama.
“For Diamondhead Lake, Andrew Sawyer won with 12 votes, and there were five write-in votes. A total of 21 voters turned out for Diamondhead. And then for Lake Panorama, Larry Peterson won with 30 votes, and there were 30 voters,” Fink said.
The supervisors approved the results as presented.
Supervisor Maggie Armstrong showed a “walk-through” of the county’s new website. She pointed out the toolbar and links that are included.
“I don’t have an exact launch date yet,” Armstrong said, but added that feedback from department heads is requested by Friday, Dec. 20. She said training for department heads and elected officials will be scheduled.
The supervisors discussed scheduling of department head evaluations. The evaluations are to begin in January and will be held in closed session.
The consent agenda was approved, including a new hire payroll change for Steve Stringham as jailer, at $23 per hour. Josh Sebern, County Engineer, provided a department head report.
Because of Christmas Eve, the supervisors voted to change the Dec. 24 meeting to Dec. 23. Therefore, the next regular meeting of the supervisors will be Monday, Dec. 23 at 9 a.m. The public is welcome to attend in person or via remote technology.
