The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors tabled their final appropriations for fiscal year 2020 at Thursday’s meeting.

The resolution has been tabled to their February 11th meeting, where Mike Galloway of Ahlers & Cooney, P.C. will return to offer his recommendation of a county handbook for the Board to approve. Galloway attended Thursday’s meeting to mediate discussion over the handbook the Board approved last November, and a revised copy made by the County Attorney, Sheriff, and Recorder. Those offices were not in favor of the November handbook, and at that time the Board declined appropriating the remaining 25% of their current fiscal year budgets.

In other handbook business, the Board approved an inclement weather and worksite closing policy, and aligning the terms of the Iowa Governmental Health Care Plan insurance policy with the pending handbook. They also discussed the fiscal year 2021 budgets for the facilities, health services, and transfer station budgets, and approved spending up to $3,000 in newspaper and radio advertising for the two weeks leading up to the March 3rd special election for a law enforcement center addition bond referendum.
