The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met Tuesday. Engineer Josh Sebern says despite heavy amounts of rain, local bridge and culvert structures have been handling the heavy water flows well. The Supervisors voted 4-1 to hire Wesley McIntosh as a part-time deputy with the Sheriff’s Office. Supervisor Jerry Caraher was the lone dissenting vote. The Supervisors voted 3-2 to call for a special election to decide how County Supervisors are elected. Supervisor Cliff Carney was the deciding vote and said that although he didn’t agree with the measure, it was a ‘shall’ item, according to Iowa Code, that needed to happen. Chairman Tom Rutledge and Supervisor Everett Grasty also voted for the measure. Supervisors Jerry Caraher and Mike Dickson voted against it. The countywide special election will take place on August 4th.
