20160121_090325_561The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors heard a budget presentation from public health Thursday morning.

 

Coordinator Jotham Arber says that due to retirements and staff turnover, the most notable budgetary change will be to personnel. Additionally, Arber notes that revenues have dropped due to lower Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements. He adds that he is considering adding a homecare respite program in the near future which will be available to users with private insurance or who pay out of pocket.

The Supervisors made no decisions on any of Arber’s budgetary recommendations.
