GOOD MEETING LAST NIGHT!

The meeting last night with the Commissioners was great.  I know those us that attend appreciate the Commissioners coming up and keeping us informed as to what's going on in the county. Some of what was discussed was the resurfacing of the Sweet-Ola Highway,  a new culvert and some gravel on Timber Flat Road and the building of a new Sheriff's office in Emmett.  Neil, from the road department, and the engineers have been working on what changes will be made to make the highway better and safer.  He will be contacting the effected land owners in the next two weeks.  Gem County Fire District #2 has a new board member, Mark Johns is being replaced by Harvey Church.  WKMH is now a licensed Paramedic Transport Service, if transportation is needed from WKMH to St Luke's, the helicopter is not the only option.  Construction on the new sheriff's office will begin next summer with completion and move in by fall.  It will be located east of the jail. Lan commented on what a great turnout  Sweet had for the "disaster" open house on October 24th, Emmett not so good.  I love our community involvement!  Good information and a few laughs, thanks!
