The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Tuesday.

The Board heard an update from County Engineer Josh Sebern, and approved a resolution for an agreement between the Secondary Roads Department and Iowa Department of Transportation for a Living Road Trust Fund Grant and set a public hearing for disposal of county property on October 17th, to sell the grader shed in Bayard to the City of Bayard.

The Board then heard from Guthrie County Sheriff Marty Arganbright and Jail Supervisor Jesse Swensen, who said there would be some payroll change notices coming up, as two jailers were approaching the end of the six month probationary period, and that they’d had comments from inmates from Polk and Webster Counties about how clean and nice the jail was.

The Board also discussed their tour of the Whiterock Conservancy, which Supervisors Maggie Armstrong and Steve Smith agreed went well, and that they learned of several different opportunities for people to try things out that they hadn’t previously known about. The meeting finished with a discussion about a recent department head meeting. Supervisors Mike Dickson and JD Kuster said that they’d heard concerns from different department heads about some possible budgetary changes from the state legislature that was said by Board Chair Supervisor Brian Johnson. Johnson apologized saying that what he’d said had been taken differently than he’d meant.
