The Greene County Board of Supervisors met Monday in regular session.
The Board approved the County Treasurer’s investment report of $4,664,509 for August, as well as issuing 344 driver’s licenses last month. The Board also approved a $3,000 grant from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau for the Sheriff’s office and a retirement resolution for Greene County Secondary Roads employee George Erickson for 41 years of service to the county.
Finally, following a discussion about a request for the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower to have purple lights on during October’s Domestic Abuse Violence Awareness Month, the Board decided against the request. Based on a previous conversation, the Board felt that if they allowed one organization to shine a different light on the bell tower, then they would have to let any organization do that, which they felt wouldn’t be fair to all requests.
