The Greene County Board of Supervisors met Thursday.

During open forum, County Attorney Thomas Laehn reviewed a draft of the new 28E agreement for the law enforcement center with the City of Jefferson. He said the original 1972 agreement was obsolete and it was decided he would draft a new document. The next steps would be to share the agreement with Jefferson City Attorney David Morain, with the goal of having the agreement approved by the City and County by July 1st, due to moving the law enforcement center to the Midland Power Cooperative building in Jefferson. 

Supervisor Pete Bardole mentioned a request that was made to him about an outside group wanting to pay to have the supervisor meetings live streamed. Following a discussion, the Board didn’t feel comfortable approving the request.

The Board then approved a letter of support for the Greene County Historical Society to apply for a Greene County Community Foundation grant for a historical marker for Squirrel Hollow Park. They also approved hiring Tyler Lux as a part-time ambulance employee for $12 per hour. 

Next, the Board approved a memo to county employees to extend the COVID-19 paid leave policy, as well as the countywide mask mandate to March 31st. It was mentioned that only county employees that still had paid time off to use for COVID-19 related reasons now had until March 31st to use that time off. 

After the Board reviewed the emergency management 2022 fiscal year budget, they set the public hearing for February 1st at 9:15am. Finally, the Board heard 2022 fiscal year budget proposals from County Veterans Affairs, Treasurer, Ambulance, Environmental Health and the Law Enforcement Center with the joint Entity Board. No action was taken by the Board following those proposals.
