Do wonder what a "trauma-informed community" is? Do you live in one?
Dive deep into this science and decide if you live or work in one and if you wish to make changes to it.
JUNE 24 & 25 - FREE!
Here's a thing we think is neat. We have nine employees at the County that have worked here at least 25 years (very thankful for y'all). Of those nine, five of 'em are at Road and Bridge.
Those five have a combined 143 years of experience. That's ... pretty incredible, in our opinion. They'll give you a lot of reasons for why they've stayed, but they all mentioned they like the day-to-day variety of job tasks. From plowing snow to patching roads to being outdoors, they enjoy it all.
We're glad we have Jim, Anthony, Darlene, Kevin and Jim here. Their experience is invaluable.
Thank you for your service Cuz!

The Harvey County Commission approved a resolution today to move its regular meeting day from Mondays to Tuesdays.
The first Tuesday meeting will be July 9. The last Monday meeting will be July 1. The meetings will still be held at 9 a.m. in the Commission Room at the Harvey County Courthouse.
So here's what the schedule looks like for upcoming Commission meetings:
⚪️ Monday, June 17
⚪️ Monday, June 24
⚪️ Monday, July 1
⚪️ Tuesday, July 9
⚪️ Tuesday, July 16
⚪️ Tuesday, July 23
⚪️ ... and then Tuesdays after that.
Some of the reasons the Commission considered this were to give people more time to view the agenda, avoiding meetings that conflicted with Monday holidays and giving staff more time to prepare information for meetings.
One other quick note - the all-day budget discussion will now be held Monday, July 8.
Meetings are open to the public, so put us on your calendar!
