Guthrie County Board of Supervisors Meeting

News

September 30th, 2011 by admin

Banks in Guthrie County made a presentation to the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors Tuesday saying they are not interested in holding the county’s estimated $12 million in revenue.

The banks say they would prefer not to hold the money until the revenue is divvied out to local schools and cities later in October. That presentation was made by Guthrie County Treasurer Marcia Kindred and Guthrie County State Bank President Barry Monaghan.

Monaghan says because there are currently very few construction projects taking place, the area banks already have money on hand, but no one to lend it to. She says that they only have two construction loans out this year, when in a normal year they usually see about 15.

The Supervisors eventually voted unanimously to deposit the tax revenues with the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust.

Paranormal Activity Group at Guthrie Center City Council Meeting

News

September 30th, 2011 by admin

Paranormal activity was one of the subjects at the most recent meeting of the Guthrie Center City Council.

The City Council gave approval to the Des Moines Area Paranormal Society to investigate possible paranormal activity at Union Cemetery. Four to six members of the group will conduct a series of tests to collect evidence of possible paranormal activity.

The group made the request to the City Council because in some cases, access is required to a location for a period of up to six hours during the evening or late night hours.

The group selected Union Cemetery because of reports of events that may or may not have occurred at the cemetery.

Also at the meeting, the City Council received bids from four engineering firms regarding construction projects around town. Some of the projects include the master downtown revitalization plan and projects for lights and sidewalks in downtown.

The Council did not take action on any of the bids because two Council members were not present at the meeting.

Vandalism in Bayard

News

September 30th, 2011 by admin

Incidents of vandalism continue to be a problem for Bayard.

Vandalism has recently occurred on both private and city property on Main Street as well as the city park.

Although no arrests have been made yet, authorities do have information about possible suspects. Charges in the vandalism crimes would result in fourth degree criminal mischief and destruction or vandalism of property.

Some of the incidents of vandalism include pornographic graffiti that was sprayed two weeks ago on an outside wall of the library.

Another incident last Saturday had a dumpster filled with cardboard that was lit of on fire at the old Bayard High School.

Anyone with information asked to call the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office.
