The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met in regular session April 14. No citizens addressed the supervisors during the Public Comments portion of the meeting.
Health Services Director Jotham Arber provided an update on the department he leads.
“We are rolling out our community health needs assessment,” Arber said. “I’m ordering 10,000 door hangers.”
Arber went on to explain that the assessment was most recently completed in 2023, when approximately 1,200 completed surveys were received. He hopes to exceed that number this year.
Arber shared details on other happenings in the department.
“We’ve done a lot of radon testing,” he said. “And we are going to be getting out there to do pool testing.”
Arber shared information on a new magnet being used at the Transfer Station to collect and remove metal. He said the county will turn in scrap metal collected for revenue, but he speculated that the main benefit will likely be fewer flat tires experienced by visitors to the Transfer Station.
