(Clarinda) Jacob Holmes, who won the District 1 seat for Page County Supervisor in the November election, was sworn into office Tuesday, Dec. 29 during the supervisors meeting.
District 2 Supervisor Alan Armstrong administered the oath of office to Holmes and District 3 Supervisor Chuck Morris, Sheriff Lyle Palmer and Auditor Melissa Wellhausen who also won in November. Holmes replaces Jon Herzberg who did not run for re-election. Armstrong, Holmes and Morris will begin work Jan. 5.
As supervisors begin work on the fiscal year 2022 budget next month, they will review how CARES Act funding can assist various county operations. A budget amendment is being written because of COVID-19 expenses related to public health, sheriffâs office, emergency management, Information technology and elections. Other departments also had additional expenses, but those four were most noticeable.
